Well excuse me all to hell. :D

I bet they stick with him at least for another week

Weird how it took me a second to realize you meant Ochocinco.

I had forgotten about this:

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/aqEwjfchhc4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I desperately want this to happen now. Imagine if he revived his career by converting to kicker. He could play for another 10 years and probably make the HOF.

No faith that this guy can kick a game winning kick if it ever came down to that.

LMAO

Johnson smoked that XP.

He really did! And his kickoff was no worse than what Succop usually served up. (I know, I know, we'd all rather have Succop than Santos.)

Somebody needs to tell him to get work.

Do it.

At least we'd smile for 3 or 4 minutes a game...

**** YOU SANTOS
 

Well shit, dude. When you have to rely on the Donk guys to keep the culture around here straight, well...just shit, dude.

It's not every day that your Broncos try to hand the game to us and we refuse to take it.


Cut this guy some slack, it been rough!

Field goal? Field goal? There was very little faith in the game thread that he could kick a game tying extra point if it came down to that.

Slack cut. You deserve it.

How do we start the campaign? Do we need a flying banner?

Make sure you fly it wide right. That's where everyone will be looking.

Won't matter.

Clark couldn't care less...

If we dont have a new kicker by next sunday, then Dorsey is every bit as bad as some claim.

This guy is a knuckleball bullshitter, cant believe this wasnt sussed out in camp.

He is awesome in practice but sucks on the field.


The Cassel of kickers?

I thought our ST coach was supposed to be one of the best, too.

He is, which is why it's even more amazing that he wanted Santos.

Even Jordan lost some games, I guess...

Hes not an NFL caliber kicker. Its a joke.

Dorsey is a fraud...

santos works for 20 cents on the dollar

screw you if you dont agree with exploiting cheap labor

You get what you pay for...

This also works.

Don't get me started on him......

If you wanna go with experience but lesser leg strength due to age than you have Tynes, Akers, Bironis, Lindell and Feely. If you wanna go with a stronger left with some experience and accuarcy than Conner Barth is available and is younger than the others. Personally i'd go with Barth he is only 28 and has a 84.2 % accuarcy rate with a long of 57 yards. He's who I think they should replace him with, plus he used to be with the Chiefs also.

We don't need talent we need to save money

Poor guy looks absolutely terrified out there.

If you can't make a 37 yard FG in Denver then you aren't an NFL kicker.

A new kicker needs to be brought in first thing Monday morning.

Ray Charles is more accurate spinning 10 times and pissing into a sand bucket than Santos is. Sign Feely.

What happened to Alex Henery? He was good at Nebraska.

Santos just needs a little more experience. Even if he misses a kick or two I'd keep him in there all year long. Hopefully it doesn't cost us any games.

Agreed, while we're at let's get Bump Owens to #1 Corner and re sign Dunta Robinson

Yeah. While we're at it, let's trade for Lewis again. #CHAMPIONSHIP!

How about asking Lin Elliott if he would consider coming out of retirement while we are at it??

In 48 games with the Eagles, Henery made 74-of-86 field goal attempts (86%), 116-of-117 point after attempts (99.1%) and had just 95 touchbacks on 245 kickoffs. Henery was 2-of-5 in his 50-yard attempts (40%) and 22-of-26 in field goals in the 40-49 yard range (84.6%). His career-long field goal is 51 yards, which he has made twice.

This Santos guy really blows. I was excited to get rid of Succop. It was the right move and still is. They needed that money to sign Alex Smith.....but wow, as great of a camp this guy has had, he's another head case like Justin Medlock. Just absolutely buckles under the pressure when they count for real.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>With 500 RTs/Favs I'll show up to Chiefs facilities and ask to try out if they are bringing in kickers this week.

<script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

guess it wouldn't hurt right? Keep Santos on the roster for the 50+ yard FG's. Wolfert has a bitch for a leg but he's accurate as anyone I've seen inside 50.

Amen. Classic case of overthinking what should have been an easy choice.

I still dont think it was a bad idea to cut a below average kickers! yeah, Santos missed 2 fieldgoals this year in 2 games. Dudes a rookie. You gotta let him get more kicks and more time to get comfortable.

Its not like we are going to the ship this year anyways.

So they reduced Smith's cap number for this year but they somehow needed to cut Succop to sign him.

I think we need to sign Rob Bironas. 86.2% last year with a long of 55 yards. Bring in Santos to camp next year.

Decision to keep Santos looks like bad one

By Adam Teicher | ESPN.com

DENVER – The Kansas City Chiefs might be the only ones who continue to believe that keeping undrafted rookie kicker Cairo Santos was a good decision.

“No, I don’t,’’ coach Andy Reid said when asked whether the Chiefs regretted their choice of Santos over a proven and mostly reliable veteran, Ryan Succop. “He’s got to kick better. I don’t ever look back on those things.’’

The decision is looking like a rotten one. Santos missed another field goal attempt, this one from 37 yards, in Sunday’s 24-17 loss to the Denver Broncos.

Santos made a kick from 45 yards. He was also 1-for-2 in last week’s game but sent both kicks off the uprights.

The reliability of a kicker is important for any team but crucial for a team struggling to find itself offensively. The Chiefs improved vastly in that area since last week’s game but are far from a finished product.

They certainly aren’t good enough to overcome the failures of their kicker.

The Chiefs saved about $1.6 million in choosing Santos over Succop and a savings of that nature can make such a move understandable. What’s troubling is that the Chiefs believed Santos was a better option regardless of the cost savings.

They believed he had more ability and potential than Succop and thus was a better choice. He certainly looked the part in training camp and the preseason, when he showed a strong leg and handled a position battle flawlessly.

But the Chiefs can’t wait for him to develop. They needed him to be NFL-ready against the Broncos and he wasn’t.

It sounds like Reid and the Chiefs will make that wait.

“When he settles down he kicks it fine,’’ Reid said. “He’s got to do that. We have trust in him.’’

I thought this guy might not suck.

I think maybe, possibly, that might have been wrong.

Maybe.

Absolutely.

Just like Reid will stick with our shitty defensive coaches until he gets fired.

We will have to gut the entire thing to make any changes.

Cut Succop to pay Smith.

Brilliant move

Then we can bring in Bill Cowher to run the show.

You're an idiot

Get that mofo a jug of caipirinha on the sideline.

I know a team that could possibly use him.

Is Lawrence Tynes still kicking?

His pants-shitting is inspiring.

Yet another brightly colored feather in Dorsey's cap.

Lots of cheap vets still out there who are way better than shit-in-your-eyes Santos.

ROFL

Was this photo taken before or after Fisher at 1.1?

LMAO

Bring back Dave Rayner?

Bring back Louie.

So no matter what the world believes, Andy Reid sticks to his guns just like he did in Philadelphia.

Bring back Morten Andersen seem like he always wear those old school kickers facemask.

Chiefs fans have found themselves a new whipping boy and his name is Cairo Santos.

The rookie kicker has had a shaky start to his career. He’s clanked in a kick from 35-yards and hit the post on a 48-yard attempt in his first game against Tennessee, and botched a 38-yard field goal in Denver last weekend. This is enough for some Chiefs fans to demand his head on a spike. And hey, missing 38-yard field goals is not something you want happening with your kicker.

But here’s a near universal truth about kickers: The first year is almost always an adventure.

Santos is replacing Ryan Succop, who has achieved deity status for some people. Much has been made about Succop being ‘the most accurate kicker in Chiefs history,’ which is a statement that is both 100-percent true and 100-percent misleading. Here are three Succop facts:

- Since his 2009 rookie season Succop ranks 31st out of 33 kickers in field goal percentage (min. 50 FG attempts). This includes Succop’s perfect five-for-five start to this season for Tennessee.

- Only Sebastian Janikowski has a worse field goal percentage than Succop amongst kickers with at least 40 total attempts since 2012. (Again, this includes Succop’s perfect 2014 start.) It should be noted seven of Janikowski’s 12 misses since 2012 have come on kicks beyond 50 yards. Only three of Succop’s 12 misses are from outside of 50 yards.

- In the kickoff game Succop ranked in the middle of the pack amongst all kickoff specialists according to Pro Football Focus’ data. Football Outsider’s data rated the Chiefs as the most efficient special teams unit in 2013 with the only negative efficiency rating coming from Succop’s field goal kicking.

Knowing those facts, now consider Succop was set to be one of the top 10 highest paid kickers in all of football through 2016. One of the worst field goal kickers in football since 2009 was going to make top ten money at his position. Thanks a bunch, Scott Pioli.

Replacing Succop was a must both for performance and for salary cap reasons, so it was the right move for John Dorsey to choose to move on. To replace Succop the Chiefs chose Santos, a former unanimous all-American and Lou Groza winner with exceptional range that estimated to go beyond 60 yards. He’s playing for the rookie league minimum and is under Chiefs control for three years.

And here’s where the first year kicker thing comes in.

Yeah, the kicker is the real issue at play here.

He didnt cost us the game, but that doesnt mean he needs to be kept around.

Any number of guys could be brought in here for pennies on the dollar who're far better.

If you have to rely on a kicker, then you have failed as a team. Score touchdowns and the shitty kicker is moot.

Just wanted to get this thread ready for the game today.

...and Succop missed two 40 yard FGs so far today. Santos probably isn't the answer, but cutting Succop made sense.

Santo's is low on the priority list on the amount of sadness the Chiefs have going right now.

Great leg on that kickoff!

Good thing we all said **** Santos in advance last Sunday,since its Hispanic heritage week now.

Here we go...

I LOVE YOU SANTOS!!!!!!!!I

Santos for president!

LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO

So uh...

Your and idiot. He has been money for us. He just came back from a groin injury. He'll be fine.

"Kicker" and "groin injury" are two items that NEVER go well together. He's healthy, but hasn't practiced his kicks in months.

We're not in good shape right now. At all.

Yeah. I know that it's not good. I was just saying that recovering from the groin injury is why he missed. Not that he sucks, like Smoke is saying.
