Hopkins doesn’t suck, Hopkins is average. I’m all for replacing replacing him with a better kicker, the problem is that most unsigned kickers tend to be worse than average.

He's missed a kick in NINE games this year. There's only two kickers in the league (who have attempted at least 25 FGs) with a worst FG percentage. That is not average.
Hopkins didn't lose the game today, but that missed extra point factored in big time. If he kicks better this year, I can find at least two if not three more wins.
