What in the hell did you just say?

Everyone questioning Harbaugh needs a reality check.

Cundiff was 27 of 31 from under 50 yards last year, so despite his lack of range, he should be more reliable than Akers has been.

Chill off Buzz, hes obviously not a native english speaker. And his google translate has made for so many good times on the web zone. I know you couldn't have known im just saying.

Who cares what he did last season. David Akers made 44 field goals last season and now he sucks
Cundiff was terrible this season, he choked like 3 times in 2 games for the redskins and then they cut him

Now we have 2 s**tty kickers instead of 1. Oh well.

Its a good signing, I'm not sure if Akers is over his injury yet.

That's also where Akers' jersey arrives when you order it.

To all of you saying this is a bad signing, what would you expect JH to do? He is going with his best available option.

Also, don't forget that Candlestick has nasty winds; the kicker needs to be able to kick in that stadium. If Cundiff can't then Akers gets the call. Hopefully, whomever JH picks to play doesn't screw it up for the team.

every kicker available has their warts, be it age or production or whatever, thats why they're available

Neil Rackers doesn't. He's always been pretty good and was really good last year.

Wow what a bunch of cry babies in here. I guess everyone forgot Akers sucked when he was in Phili. Kicking is so mental. Maybe some time off and new scenery will put a spark in Cundiff.

Signing Cundiff isn't as questionable when Harb maid the QB switch.

The English wasn't so much the cause of confusion as the overreaction.

Billy Cundiff is by no means a cure-all or even a desirable solution, but let's all calm down.

If he even kicks for us at all, it will be because our coaching staff (which has brought us from a decade of disaster to back-to-back playoff byes) believes he is more reliable than Akers. That's good enough for me.
