Not worth it. The yardage we give up on kickoffs is worth more to the other team in terms of expected points than the difference between 75% (assumed dingus off the street) and 80% (Kai) on FGs. Nevermind the FGs that Kai can't even attempt because he doesn't have the leg.

I figured they did the numbers on this. If our new kicker can hit the same percentage of shots as Kai did and put kickoffs in the endzone this will definitely be an upgrade. I just hope our new guy isn't one of those that has the leg but doesn't have the accuracy.

Great post. It's simple math for GM SM.

It was nice having that "automatic" feeling from 45 in... but from a numbers perspective this move makes perfect sense.
