Saints signed Kicker Charlie Smyth (re-signed to 2 year deal)

Why can't we just get football players that have played football at the position they play growing up like a normal team? No more guys from other sports or guys that grew up in Africa and played one year of high school football. No more guys that played WR or QB in college and trying to turn them into TEs.

Agreed...our treatment of the kicker position especially frustrates me.

Why can't we just be a normal team that goes out and signs a "name brand" free agent kicker instead of doing all this experimentation stuff? Every year there are more than decent free agent kickers out there that have played at a high level (guys in recent years like Matt Prater, Brandon McManus, Greg Zurelein, Nick Folk, etc. have been available).

But no, we always gotta get cute and go find the hidden undrafted guys no one has ever heard of or guys that have never put on a football helmet in their lives.
