Can't help but root for the kid. He didn't get much of a shot, IMO.

I agree... punters and kickers get screwed, every other position would have a chance to work into the job, but since teams dont carry extra kickers they are thrown to the wolves and dont really have a legit opportunity to work through tough patches. I wish him the best.. hell if he gets it together in oakland he will likely be available again this offseason if we want to give him another run.

He should have never been put into the position he was. How are you going to spend the Money on a franchise QB for a Super bowl then put a Rookie Kicker on the roster.

Enough already. Not that I have alot of sympathy for Oakland fan. Still doesn't this cross the line toward the cruel and unusual threshold? The inhumanity of Chucky. Seriously has got to feel like a horror movie. Move them already... Have mercy.

If hes going to play in the NFL there is no protecting him. Doesnt matter what team you’re on.

Bull, Blair Walsh was ok situation when the Vikings drafted him. Super bowl wasn't something people were thinking of.

This season is a marked season, and a Rookie Kicker should have never been part of the plan. Kicker with a track record of kicking should have.

Carlson might end up being a good kicker, but he needs a minute to develop on a team that doesn't need him to be great now.

I f you're a bottom tier team you can take a chance on a big leg kicker and let him develop, go through the ups and downs, but the Vikings didn't have time for that. One game could cost home field advantage.
