Not that i like Barth but was he really that bad last year? Seems like he only missed 4 or 5 with a couple of those being from 50+.

I think it's the close and easy ones he missed that sticks in people's minds. And we remember Gould.
Comparing them Aguayo is better up close, dismal (but very limited attempts) at long.
With the Bears Barth has been better long but misses ones up close that shouldn't be missed.

I'm thinking it's 6 one way half dozen the other. The better possibilities is with Aguayo.

Yep, Soldier Field is a tough place to kick, all I'm saying is try him out. Who knows, he's worth a look and maybe a bigger bust than Jovanni Petrovabitch.

Interesting... Apparently Barth was on the Bucs when the drafted Aguayo then got cut. This could get interesting!

Getting out of Florida where Aguayo kicked in college can only help him. He's also got a chip on his shoulder to prove he can kick in the NFL. If he continues to suck, it's just some money that the Bears have plenty of. This can only result in something positive.

I watched him all through college and the kid as money. Consistent, hit > 50, hit the fields goals under pressure, kicked off through the end zone all the time. When they changed the rule fr the touchback to come out to the 25, he started kicking off higher and the ball coming down around the five. He was incredible. If he finds himsellf, the Bears ST willl be a lot better.

Kickers can let big contract money make them go crazy. Did he show up to Camp in a super car?

I could not believe that the Bucs burned a 2nd rounder on him but he was damn good at FSU. He just needs to clear his head and come here and compete. He has the talent so I understand why the Bears are kicking the tires.

He'll probably kick a 50 yarder to win the game in week 2.

As I've said before Pace should have signed Steven Hauschka when he had a chance.

The guy kicked at a 95% success rate as a redshirt freshman, got hyped during FSU's NatChamp season and has spiraled down hill since then. His success rate on FG's dropped to 90% then 80%, good for 34th in the country. Somehow TB ignored his decreasing production and drafted him in the 2nd round and last season his % dropped to 71% on FG's. Worth a few hundred thousand flyer I guess. Honestly, think I rather have Barth. He isn't great but neither is Aguyo, but Barth at least doesn't seem like a prick like Aguyo. I rather not have to root for that guy.

It's too damn bad Robbie Gould lost the eye of the tiger.
