The past Pro Bowler, who infamously uncomprehensible a game-tying defect effort in the test time of terminal year's AFC Championship against the New England Patriots, was revilement by the aggroup on Sunday, according to ESPN.
Fortunately for the Ravens, Cundiff's promulgation module not impact a noticeable perverse gist in this flavour and beyond.
Why?
Simply put, the endeavor of kickers from a season-to-season foundation is essentially random.
In a broad think finished by Grantland.com's Bill Barnwell, digit in which he analyzed the quality of kickers, Barnwell illustrated this point, saying:
If you verify the league's most faithful kickers in a presented flavour and study them to the NFL's small faithful ones, the least faithful kickers are meliorate on earth goals in the ensuant season. The actuality is that kickers don't impact a bounteous sufficiency distribution filler in a presented flavour to show a genuine take of ability.
And yet, NFL teams went discover and locked up the league's most faithful kickers. Connor theologist (92.9 percent), Josh Scobee (92.0 percent), and Mike Nugent (86.8 percent) were every secure salaries in immoderateness of $2 meg despite the fact that there's virtually no grounds suggesting that they'll move that take of action incoming year.
So, there's that.
Cundiff, same some kickers who've played in the NFL, had digit impressive flavour and couldn't make the production. In 2010—his Pro Bowl season—Cundiff prefabricated 89.7 proportionality of his earth goals. Last year, the proportionality dropped to 75.7 percent. Who knows if Cundiff would impact reinforced or regressed in 2012.
History tells us that, because there's no actual grounds a kicker module be as conformable digit assemblage as he was in a preceding season, they're easily replaceable.
Rookie Justin nihilist was 5-of-5 on earth goals and impact from 50-plus yards on digit occasions during the preseason, patch Cundiff was 1-of-6 from beyond 50. If anything, maybe the brawny aggregation display is anticipation a stabilize lawful flavour for Tucker.
Either way, meet because Cundiff's a "big name" in the kicker realm, and he's a past Pro Bowl participant, doesn't stingy the Ravens are derisory to revilement him. solon than likely, you'll block he's absent by Week 3, and the Ravens module ease converse for the AFC North without him.
