Re: Justin Tucker is a god
The new JT. Not going to lie, I have been scorned by the previous of Cundiff and Hauska, so I still get nervous with running JT out there in crunch time, but he has prevailed and has earned his due. :respect
Re: Justin Tucker is a god
Not to spoil the mood, but.....can we let him make at least 1 FG in the playoffs before we annoint him the 2nd coming of Matt Stover?
Anyone remember Stover's last kick as a Raven? a 43-yarder, off the grass turf, in the playoffs, in enemy territory, to win the game, sending the Titans home and us on to the next round. When Tucker shows he can make that same kick whenever the team needs him to, as Stover did throughout his entire career, THEN you can proclaim his greatness. Until then, he's an incredibly talented kid with a potentially great (but unproven) future.
Having said all that, I'm extremely happy we chose him over Cundiff, cause I think he's going to have a great career.
Re: Justin Tucker is a god
Tucker is the man! loved him from the start. So gald we give the rookie a shot. So far, so good. But the one thing he does for me, is give a shit load of confidence when he going to kick. Love the boy, just hope he to keep getting better, year after year. JT
Re: Justin Tucker is a god
JTuck is the man! Love the Charisma on the young fella!

In fact, the only blemish in his career. Go Ags! :D

By the way, there's a Johnny Football guy around these parts who should definitely be on the Ravens radar. You know, just in case the Flacco contract negotiations hit a snag.

He is a Freshman and he does not fit the mold for an NFL QB. He will get demolished with his reckless (yet awesome) style of play.

After that Alabama game, he may have drawn Ozzie's attention. He's funny about that sort of thing.
BS

Stover's regular season percentage (83%) was better than his playoff percentage (81%). Stover's first playoff game, he was 2 for 4. Stover's last FG attempt for the Ravens in the playoffs....he missed.
Ironically, Cundiff has an 86% success rate in the playoffs. He's made 12 of 14 playoff field goals (the "other miss" was in New Orleans in 2006).
I am not in any way suggesting that the Ravens should have kept Cundiff. Stover was clutch. And I like Tucker and hopes he sticks around for a long time. But people's perception of players sometimes do not match-up entirely with the facts....
Re: Justin Tucker is a god
Raven's best personnel decision of 2012.

When he does make that kick, his new name will be Tucker Corleone.
