Obviously you don't remember him; he was a lot better than Suisham.

Oh believe me I do, I had him on my fantasy league at the time. What this team needs is someone like Vinatieri or Gostkowski.

Suisham is 5 accuracy percentage points better than Gostkowski and 10 better than Vinatieri this year.

Suisham couldn't be more untimely, though.

Yeah, but Gostkowski and Vinatieri are perfect from inside 30 this year

I do feel bad for Suisham, but again, while he's 18-21 this year, his 3 misses were costly.

Yeah, I do too. He seems like a genuinely good guy. He has a job to do, though. Still, making a change at this point would be pointless, IMO.

The percentage reference was kind of tongue in cheek.

As was mine

I'll agree to disagree with it being pointless. If one of the areas the Skins were to heavily evaluate during this coming offseason is kicker, why not start now when the season isn't on the line? Hell, Suisham got the job in the first place replacing someone (Novak, who's name oddly enough has been thrown around in this thread) late in the season.

I'm not going to lose any sleep if they don't boot Suisham, but at the same time, why hold onto someone who continually is 1 kick away (or 4 games at this point) from losing his job?

Yeah that's the big thing. I mean he's over 85% but his misses couldn't be at worse times.. they weren't longer than what you'd expect your kicker to make.. and they're coming in consecutive games. Suisham is to Redskins kicking in December as Romo is to Cowboys quarterbacking in December. One of these years when we do make the playoffs we're going to need a pretty surefire leg working for us.
