Anytime this thread gets bumped when its offseason for Tucker, I click on it not knowing what to expect other than it will be awesome. I could read that Justin discovered the underwater city of Atlantis while snorkling on vacation and I'd think "yeah, that sounds about right". Cool dude.

Probably? You think the greatest kicker in NFL history is probably a Hall of famer?

A kicker needs a long career to get in the hall of fame.  Justin should make it, but he needs a much longer career to be a sure thing


The fuck is wrong with people today, complaining about Malik Jefferson being overrated in one thread then others talking about the single greatest kicker in the history of the NFL in another.

Justin Tucker holds the following NFL Records:

Longest Field Goal

Career Highest Field Goal Percentage

Most 50+ yard Field Goals in a season

Most 50+ yard Field Goals in a game

Most 50+ yard Field Goals in a half

What other single player holds that many NFL records in a 100+ year old league?

Um he is a Hall of Famer if he never kicks again. But he will for like 10 more years at least.

A game tying field goal against Baylor? Not that memorable after we went on to give up a billion points after that to RGIII and company.

You probably mean the next-to-last kick.

On the road, 66 yards, bounced it off the crossbar, wins the game with no time on the clock.  Couldn't have been scripted any better.  The dude is a HOF lock.

Yeah. Dude is the definition of clutch

As for the field goal, if the completion and record-setting nature weren't already extraordinary, Tucker continued his streaks of being perfect in the final minute of regulation and 49 straight fourth-quarter field goal attempts.

That kick made him 16 for 16 on kicks in the final minute of games. Fucking assassin. 

He’s not wrong. There are 5 or 6 total kickers in the HOF.

I had to look it up, there are only 4 kickers in the HOF and only two of them were pure kickers.

Morten Andersen
Jan Stenerud

Lou Groza (K and OT)
George Blanda (K and QB)

Punter is even more rare with just Ray Guy.

I met Jan Stenerud when I was in high school.  For some reason, he was friends with my chemistry teacher and came to visit.  It was really odd to have the classic nerdy teacher introduce the best kicker in the history of football to our class.

Both pure kickers in the HOF are Europeans. That's kind of funny.

Micheal Dickson will be the second one.

Jan Steneroud sucked. He wouldn’t even make an opening day roster for a Texas high school team today.

Did he bang your Mom or something?

Nope. He was just a below mediocre PK who played for the best team of the era so they put him in the HOF.

A 66% FG percentage today gets you dismissed back to the soccer team.

Except he was WAY above average for the day.  

Today I learned that people have very strong opinions on ... Jan Stenerud!?!

Yes, comparing stats from then to now is absurd.

wiki says he was an early adopter after Pete Gogolak started the trend.

With this contract, his career earnings will be approximately $75M. As a kicker. Well done Justin!

I know it’s not the NFL, but every Longhorn needs to know the true story of Fred Bednarski.

Bednarski is great to remember, but I’ll top him for the Longhorns’ kicker from the early 60s. Tony Crosby was from Kountze, Texas and UT’s place kicker from the 61-63 seasons.

What was unique about him was that he was a bare-footed kicker! Rare enough for that, but he still kicked the ball straight-on and not “soccer style.” Most of the kickers back then relying on a straight-toed shoe that helped get the kick off/away, Tony just curled his toes upward prior to the kick and hit the ball just below his set of toes!
That hurts just thinking about trying to kick a FB like that! He helped Texas win the NC in ‘63!

Hook’em!

Two players from Hardin County, Texas. Riggs on left and Crosby on the right. 1963 Champions!

My favorite quote from the article:

Despite the horrible conditions, they were grateful that the family stayed together --- and that they weren’t sent to a concentration camp.

The Lou Groza Award decided Bullock was better than Tucker, so what the fuck does it know about kicking?

I’m glad the Texans decided the same thing

60 minutes feature on Tucker and NFL kickers was on tonight. Good episode. Got to see his opera singing too.
