Congratulations Are In Order For Saints Rookie Kicker Blake Grupe
I gotta say, defending Grupe's fairly pedestrian rookie campaign, which, quite frankly, has been relatively free of pressure kicks outside of GB (which he missed), by using longwinded prose and multicolor fonts, is peak 2023 Saints.
But if you're digging deeper in the stat sheet for meaning, and simply want to excise mentions of Lutz, cool - but the comparison isn't even necessary to acknowledge that Grupe's "record setting" pace is more an indication of the Saints red zone troubles for most of the season than his prowess as a kicker.
Also - the "no true scotsman" fallacy is working so hard here, this thread is buzzing like a nuclear reactor.
But hey, I like to build a kid's confidence, so in the spirit of this thread, and the new year:
NICE GOING GRUPE!
