They cut him because this became a national story and we were getting mercilessly scrutinized. We did it to save face. It was still the right thing to do.

Who had the best career as a Bill: Matt Araiza or Antonio Brown?

Calling a lawyer vile and a pathetic human is very redundant. They already know, that’s why they’re lawyers. I’m mostly kidding..

From what I’ve heard it’s pretty much a given that Kern will be cut. I’d be surprised if we trade for him though.

Do we take a punter with our 1st round pick next year since it just became our biggest need?

Let’s be real, the national scrutiny made this decision a necessity.

This decision was a layup.

He just couldn’t be affiliated with this team with this stuff pending.

Curious what the plan is if they aren’t going to have him on the field in any capacity. Surely they have to be planning for this press conference to be all about Araiza again.

Our current punter won’t face any NFL punishment since the incident occurred before he turned pro.

It’s an unproven punter at that. Guy has 1 punt to his name so far in the NFL and people act like cutting him right now will matter for our season.

Libel for what?

So…you don’t know that it will be a factor for him.

How do you know?

They have a rookie doing just as well and cutting Kern saves them money

I don’t think that was ever his game to begin with

So you think our offense is going to stall out inside our own 5 and force the defense to defend short fields enough times for this to matter? Interesting take. I don’t really care about replacing Moorman because we’re still talking about a punter. This isn’t the drought years. People act like Araiza was one of the best punters in the league. He’s a guy with a strong leg and that’s it. He’s similar to Bojorquez and his ability to consistently hold well is still a question despite a handful of preseason snaps.

Finding an average or even slightly below average punter shouldn’t be difficult. Haack was literally one of the worst punters in the league last year. Can you really say whether he had a positive or negative impact on the outcome of our season? It’s not that serious.

Jordan Berry or Brett Kern. But we’re still talking about a punter so who cares?

This is a pretty damning thing for a leader of this team to say. It basically sounds like Hyde believes the right thing to do is move on from Araiza.

Go sign Jordan Berry and be done with it

You just say whatever is on your mind and let me worry about Simon.

Speaking for myself I just don’t think it’s worth the distraction. He may eventually clear his name but I’d rather have our HC and team focused on LA instead of having to answer for our punter.

Tried to keep an eye on him. Seemed decent. Might’ve gotten away with a hold at one point.

Cutting bait is the job of the GM and HC. Surely you’re not saying you want them fired right?
