No, I can't say his replacement will be more reliable. That is the question right? : P
The way I see it there are 4 options.
1 - He is more reliable and we save money.
2 - He is equally reliable and we save money.
3 - He is less reliable but the money we can use elsewhere is a value add.
4 - He is less reliable and the money we can use elsewhere is a value loss.
I am not saying all options are equally likely but I am okay rolling the dice here. Now if Gost wants to come back at a pay cut that could work too. But if someone tells me we need to bring Gost back AND make him one of the highest paid kickers in the NFL then I am totally against it.
No way. He simply doesn't deserve to be paid top market. His performance hasn't demonstrated that IMO.
And it seems 31 other GMs agree as well seeing as no one has jumped on him yet.
Deserve has nothing to do with it.
I think BB looks at 3 & 4 and thinks if a guy is worse in the playoffs, Game Over. The cost of playoff loss >> couple million saved to afford to add some random FA player.
Not worth the risk just to save low single digit millions. He won't simply "roll the dice".
That could change if there's some college kicker scouted that he falls in love with.
