For him, it's probably too bad we didn't cut him in preseason, because then he would have been signed by someone else, if not this year, then next year to compete in someone's camp, and no one would have even paid much attention - lots of kickers take a year or two out of college to catch on. But now, the most prominent item on his resume is a memorable massive failure in a clutch situation and a self-declaration that he lacks confidence.
Put him on our PS and try him again next year, seriously?? Even if he was lights-out in OTAs and camp and preseason, wouldn't everyone, Zimmer included, be scared to death when he had to kick in a real game with pressure? Of course. You might as well suggest Blair Walsh could come back to the Vikings some day.
