How can you say that when the 49ers once employed the biggest and baddest leg in all of pro football: Ray Wersching!

I was going to bring up No Look Ray : ).

You don't remember the importance of a kicker until they miss a key FG in a clutch situation. Gould (for the most part) has never done that.

That being said, I think you have to move onto a cheaper option and use that $ on more impactful FAs.

Steal one from the Rams and get Matt Gay.

I'd be cool with that but I think he's gonna be just as expensive as Gould. I think they'll end up either signing a cheaper FA (my preference) or drafting a kicker (wouldn't want to go into a key season with a rookie kicker).
