The guy always seemed to shank a punt at crucial moments. He improved as a holder, but in my opinion, he is replaceable!

How quickly we forget about many of his spectacular kicks pining teams behind the 10 yrd line..but oh well not worth dwelling on. I'd wager IF they had not signed the Punt God you and Mcnumb nuts would be suffering through a few more seasons of TT Tough Crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially how he was a right footed punter after having a lefty for years. Now we go back to the left footed punter who can boom them. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPPT1974 21 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Glad that Matt has not allowed this could had been ruining his career and possibly life get in his way. Poor young man has been through the ringer. Which is an understatement. IMHO, no offense to Mahomes but either Townsend or Butker could had been SB MVP!

moons314 2,463 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Good for Tommy tho, he’s a good dude. Punters don’t get that big bag that sets them up, so if he can go get 4 million on the open market then he absolutely should. I’ve got good memories of him interacting with kids and fans at the games on the sideline. He did that more than any other player. artsy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO he's not going to get $4M that'd make him the #1 punter IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetlord 10,207 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 It's reported that Townsend made about $2.6 million last season. Five other punters are averaging over three million with the top at $3.625 million. The Chiefs will pay the Punt God league minimum so there's a cap saving of over two million. Let's just hope this isn't all hype and also that Butker isn't affected by a new holder. Burpo The Mad Clown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, the untimely shank was a big deal. he is a fine punter, just not good enough to pay like he is the best i think the all pro votes is simply because he was on the chiefs, the best team in the nfl. you know who else agrees its not smart to pay townsend???

artsy 1,137 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I love the PG signing! I too was hoping for a change from Townsend. His inconsistency was getting on my nerves. Nonehtless, Veech is the MAN! This kid has a generational leg. If Toub can teach him the fine art of directional, placement kicking, IMO, we got a real GEM. Go Veech!! Keep doing it!

Fmbl2187 2,279 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Yes, he can flip the field, but I don't know if he gets the back spin to bounce back and pin teams on shorter punts. I also don't know how good of a holder he is. If he meets the short kick and holding needs, then he will be an upgrade...but only then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really haven't read any account of his abiities in directional placement kicking or in control over bouncing. What have you learned about it? One thing I am certain of, we would not have gotten him, if there were concerns in those areas. Must be an upgrade. As for generational leg, does that mean he can regenerate his leg if he loses it in an accident? Wow! That would come in handy. Could cost the Chiefs in contract negotiations, though.

If he can't hold for Butker, is there any reason that Gabbert couldn't do it? Is there some reason that the punter has to be the holder on place kicks?

A QB would be a close second, unless one of his fingers gets injured by a boot or a cleat. That would not be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League min for his years of experience is over a mil. Woof, just checked and 8m+ in career earnings for 9 years in league. Best job in the NFL except the guys on the active roster who don't make the gameday roster. artsy and West 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
