What jeanpierre said, except for the spoiled part. Shankley is not even mid pack in accuracy in relation to the rest of the league.

56 yards, wind, rain, bad snap, bad hold, death in the family, game on the line, broken skateboard.. all completely understandable.

The most perfect circumstances a professional kicker could ever ask for, at normal yardage... Its inexcusable.

We are not expecting perfection, we are expecting 3 points when the conditions are perfect.

Why can't we have one of these?

Perhaps we should have spent 2 draft picks on a kicker instead of a punter.

Funny, I was looking for this because we know you love the punter, haha.
I would love to have a field goal kicker as good as Morestead is a punter however.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

I'd much rather have a mediocre punter and a great kicker than a great punter and mediocre kicker.

I can definitely see us spending a pick on a kicker next year. Or maybe sign a stud free-agent kicker?
