I’ve had the same thought, but is the potential of a 58 yard field goal more important than consistency? We could lose a playoff game due to Prater not having the strength of Bass, but Bass could cost us when he starts getting weird with extra points.
You have guys like Cook, Shakir, and even Knox for that matter, who have made critical plays in huge moments. Yet you go with the one guy who hasn’t proven anything. I don’t get it.
This is my biggest McD fear. I think he’s a good coach, good leader, and good during the week, but he doesn’t seem to learn from previous experiences. It’s a skill some people just lack in life.
