Who is the best kicker in the NFL, all things being equal? (1 Viewer)

[Bruno Tataglia]

When I say "all things being equal" I mean imagine if somehow all 32 kickers had to kick all 16 games in the exact same elements (we'll go with a dome to make it easy) and that all 32 kickers play on a team with the exact same offensive personnel.

Now it just comes down to who you want to kick for you.

Distance-wise, I think we all could agree on Janikowski. But he can be streaky with accuracy.

Some other kickers I think are really solid are Gould, Akers and Hanson (even at his age).

What say you?

Wouldn't call him the best right now, but a guy to watch....Alex Henery in Philly. Second best rookie % all time last year, decent leg. If you want a young guy for a brand new team, certainly worth considering.

ETA: Based strictly on your parameters...would go with Robbie Gould. Consistantly hits around 85% despite half his attempts coming in Chicago.

Bironas may not have the best leg but he's close. And dude never gets rattled.

He does not have a strong leg at all. Maybe accurate but not strong.My vote would go to Bironas. He's got a monster leg and accuracy but his offense hasn't been affording him a ton of looks so he flys under the radar a bit.

Rams rookie Greg Zuerlein is looking fairly promising.

Are we considering kickoffs as part of the package?!?!?!?!?!?

Any PK in this discussion is probably banging touchbacks on the reg.

Oh, by the way, that Rams kicker Greg Zeurlein that I posted about above made a 55 and 52 yard field goal so far in tonight's game vs. the Cowboys.
