I might get bashed for this,but what the heck. Two misses vs the Pats.One 51 yard miss vs the Jets.One miss vs the Pack.What do all of these have in common? No need to think real hard on this one. I AM NOT blaming him solely on our 6 losses.But in close ball games these kicks are made by good place kickers.Josh Brown last week won his game on a 50 something yarder.Bryant from Tampa,62 yards for the win.N.O. last week for the W.Even Mort from Atlanta.All the ones Sorry Mare missed,were in crucial or game changing situations.He needs to go!
 
He's got to go. Look at him overall since like 2003. He's missed MANY clutch kicks for us. He's not the kicker he once was, i dont know whats wrong with him, but there's got to be a better answer out there.

I totally agree. He gets paid way too much for the type of kicker he is. He is just too inconsistent. Mare lovers always talk about "how he booms kicks through the end zone," sorry but that argument is old and tired. :shakeno:
 
Yeah Mare use to be good. I remmeber when he was the diffrence maker for us. Hes had several oportunities to be the game saver, and hes failed.

I would still hate to see him go, but i would not be upset if he does.
 
Although I agree we may need to start looking for a replacement of Mare, this past kick was not a clutch situation kick. We were down by 2 scores. He made all of the kicks besides the one that would have helped us try and tie the game.
 
I think it's wrong to just forget about how nicely Mare sets Miami up after kickoffs, but that doesn't justify his salary or the roster spot. Most teams can't carry a punter and two kickers even if they don't make much because that extra roster slot is too important. Mare does have to go. While the kickoffs are very nice, they don't score points.

I have actually wondered whether or not it would be a good idea to use just one roster slot on kicking/punting. Can't anybody find somebody who does a good enough job with both?
