Justin Tucker won kicker of the year for the NFL. And now seems like as good a time as any to discuss next year part of my early 20s. And my philosophy that although everyone believes quarterbacks are awesome, kickers win games. This is not a particularly popular opinion if my years spent watching ravens games and friends basements are anything to go by. But kickers win games one of the interesting things about being Ravens fan there's, the Ravens have always historically had really good kickers from the guy who won the ultimate goal, not Stover. Did you Justin Tucker. We've always had phenomenal kickers and for a defense based team like the ravens, they're not very high. Scoring games. And a lot of the time it comes down to whether or not one guy makes us feel gold shot or not kickers win games. And I think that's really important for discussions like the great man theory of history, because I as important as the team dynamic is and don't get me wrong. The team has to put the kicker into position but sometimes it really comes down to whether or not the kicker makes that one shot. And I think that no man is beautiful. And it's why the kicker in the replacements is my favorite character. And it's always easy to find a quarterbacks jersey but almost impossible to find a kickers jersey and that's always really bothered me because kickers win games and I stand Justin Tucker.
