Thomas Morstead

That one punt was stellar. Must have been 70 yards in there. I thought for a second he was Erxlerben.

Still think he's not worth what we gave for him Danno?

Absolutely. He a friggin Punter. No punter is worth two draft picks in a 4 pick draft. Its the least important position on a football team.

There's a reason why only 1 or 2 are drafted every year, and we gave up two picks for him.

I'm glad he's our punter, but we paid too much for him, even if he makes 9 consecutive pro-bowls.

I'll type this real slow so there's no mistaking my opinion on it...

TWO DRAFT PICKS IN A FOUR PICK DRAFT IS TOO MUCH TO GIVE FOR THE LEAST IMPORTANT POSITION ON A FOOTBALL TEAM.

Do you need any further clarification of my opinion on the matter?

Again

This guys is phenomenal. I was gushing during the game and still gushing now.

I watch many sports that have a kicking element and his kicking would be ace in all of them

Not at the moment...maybe later.

But, FWIW...I think you are wrong on this one.

Those two draft picks wouldn't even be starting..how is this an issue?

Ashley · 09-20-2011, 10:39 AM

He's money, and been playing like it too.

I don't think there is any such thing as a "least important position" on a NFL team. Just one guy not doing his job efficiently can result in a big fat L. That includes the LS, the holder, and the kicker/punter.

Thomas Morstead has a VERY important job and he does it well, and does it consistently. We're very fortunate to have this guy on our roster.

Budsdrinker · 09-20-2011, 11:31 AM

Well the draft is a crap shoot anyway. The 2 players we picked before Morestead didn't pan out and are no longer with the team (Arnoux and Vaughn). So anytime you have a draft pick that is on the team and making contributions I think however you got him was worth it.

I was surprised I made it through a page without someone asking Danno his opinion of the Morestead deal...hehe
