[edit] Best kickers
I'm deleting the section that was just added on the "best" NFL kickers, since a list of the best anything without a citation is an obvious NPOV issue. --djrobgordon 01:02, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Survey
I'm not doubting the cited survey; think I heard something of it myself; but it really needs a reference. Rlquall 03:42, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Notable Kickers
I realize this section is inherently POV, and if someone wants to delete it, I probably wouldn't argue, but in the meantime, can we try and limit it to Hall of Famers, record holders, perennial All-Pros, etc? I don't want to be the notability Nazi, but people have been adding journeymen and NFL Europe kickers lately. Just think before you add. --djrobgordon 06:16, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
There is only one Hall of Fame kicker, even Adam Vinatieri could be counted against him, had it not been his Super Bowl titles because he is a specialist kicker (never played any other position at any point before his NFL career.203.184.56.44 09:39, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Kicker/Punter/QB?
I heard that some kickers can be a QB,. even a dual-threat QB? I wonder if that is so. But why can't a QB be a kicker/punter as well?
- They can. It's not uncommon for that to be the case on high school teams, especially at small high schools. --SodiumBenzoate 04:07, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Picture
Don't we have a better pic? That one is hard to make out. --JaGatalk 12:53, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Soccer style?
The description of the place kicker's action seems more like the kick of a rugby player converting a try than a soccer kick. Ozdaren (talk) 13:48, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
