What? If you do that you might have a chance to win the game.

Kind of rare he just takes off like that running. Usually he looks to pass as long as possible. I like it though.

Wenz is just horrible. He has 4 moments in a season he looks incredible and teams fall for it. Worst pocket awareness of all time

I don't even really know kickers, unless they've been around for awhile. Dicker is the best kicker the Chargers have had in a long while. Carney was great years ago until the playoffs, where he blew multiple games.


Who was the kicker for you guys like 20 years ago who was pretty good when he was young. Then missed a short kick in the playoffs and was basically never seen again.

Nate Kaeding??

Ya I had family visiting this last Sunday and we were watching the game. After like two possessions my dad just says, “Wentz panics when he has a clean pocket, and just stands there when the pocket collapses”.

It really is something else to watch

That’s the name. Pretty sure he made like a pro bowl and was viewed as one of the better kickers in the game at the time. Missed like a chip shot and was basically out of the league like in a year or two.

Yep. Have quite a few Charger players this year. I was high on them during drafting season.

Oh yeah, that's the guy...he was great in the season but was horrible in the playoffs. Missed a couple of FGs when they lost to the Patriots by 3. On top of the guy that intercepted Brady at the end of the game to ice it if he goes down but he tries to run it back and fumbles it back to them.

Then Kaeding could have had a game winning kick against the Jets.

Then in another playoff game against the Jets he missed 3 FGs and they lost 16-13.

Carney was before that. I knew something was wrong about that when I typed that.

Then for the past 15 years or so before Dicker they had a bunch of guys that sucked. Younghoe Koo as a rookie was horrible. Badgely was ok at first, but a lot of other terrible guys in between there.

This man cannot throw the ball away

And when he does, he has a wide open guy in the flat for a TD, but decides to spike it and take an intentional grounding penalty instead… like he did last week
