He is kicking for Washington, they are clearly done. Might makes some sense as I see it

It does make sense IMO. I’d prefer first to kick the tires on Carlson to see if the Raiders want to trade him……………….

I'd take a look and see if we could get him for a 6th round pick. Put Karty on the practice squad...

We just can't stand pat. We all can feel it deep inside ourselves. Karty is going to cost us a playoff game. We should be 8-0 if it wasn't for him. It would be one thing if he was missing 55+ yard FG's. He's not - he's missing chip shots. If he can't make the easy FG's how are we going to trust him to make a 50 yard FG when we need him most? It's time to make a move...

Gay is 10 of 14
Karty is 10 of 15

Guys are missing kicks this year. Upgrading kickers isn't just a plug and play solution.

This! Over all FG kicking is down overall this year to around 74%

SO you think we do nothing? Nick Folk is 17-17 FG and 9-9 PAT with a long of 58 . He plays for the Jets , pretty sure a 7th round pick gets that done. I said Gay because he is a known commodity but Id take Folk in a heartbeat. There are good kickers out there. Honestly could care less about the league average. It needs to get fixed

If it were that easy, dont you think every team would have a good kicker?

Gay was originally cut by Tampa for missing kicks then the Rams signed him and ge became pro bowl worthy. I'm not saying Karty is a long term guy. But I'm willing to give him some time to get out of the slump. Albiet he needs to fix it rather soon.

And this ^ makes sense too. FA not making a lot…..

I’d give them a 6th if need be……..

There are a few good kickers out there on bad teams. There isn’t on the FA market……..

Hey I’ve been in Karty’s corner. But hasn’t that ended after his first miss on the PAT yesterday ? That was a really bad kick. And you can see he has lost confidence. He is thinking on every kick n hesitating instead of just kicking the ball.

He is like a pitcher aiming the ball instead of just throwing/kicking………

All I am saying is its trade deadline tomorrow, we need to add a veteran guy off a bad team for a 6 or 7 pick. There is way to much at stake to wait Karty out. I'm not saying cut him either, but adding another kicker would get his attention. As of now if he misses he misses, no competition for him to worry about. At this point if he makes the kick its a surprise not if he misses. It will affect McVay on 4th down calls , it will cost us another game sooner rather than later.

My bet is they would have to cut him. I doubt they carry 2 kickers…………….

JMO but I think his misses have got him more than worry. The kid is from Stanford. He more than gets what his misses mean on a 6-2 team with SB aspirations………..

Folk for a 7th? If the Jets was willing to do that, I would, but Chase still needs to go.

Gay was pretty bad last year too. I would keep Karty over Gay.

A 7th round pick would not be enough. I say a 4th or 5th , but I would STILL do it , if that was the price. We NEED a kicker.

He is probably the best kicker this year , a 7th would not be enough , I doubt it .

So true. But will stubborn ass McVay make the change or will he ride it out?
