Anything less than than 70% on FGs under 50 yards is unacceptable in the NFL.
Dawson has nearly missed several extra points. If he misses one, and continues his FG pace, he's gone.

Well they keep signing 38 year old kickers who used to be good and are way at the end of their careers. Age plus injuries. But hey it's been a proven formula for the 49ers so far so they stick with it. They keep singing declining kickers instead of really dealing with the problem by drafting the best young kicker in one of these drafts.
The way they deal with kickers makes about as much sense as the way they get FA and draft WR's.

HAHA, detroit let him go and Akers been sucking... that kid is pretty good
Honestly, I believe too much has been placed on him not having football experience. I used to play rugby and had kicked a little bit. All you need to know is how to kick the ball from A to B, it has nothing to do with whether you know the game of rugby. Didn't he have a very decent preseason ? If you ask me, guys like Akers and Dawson have passed their prime. If it was up to me, I would look out for the younger guys. We have nothing to lose to bring him in for a tryout.

Maybe we should've kept the rookie... but who would've known that Dawson was gonna start off like this. I just hope he gets it together for when he's really needed.

Which rookie ? You mean Havard Rugland ? We didn't even try him out.

All I know is Dawson needs to step his game up a notch this week. We might need him to kick a game winning FG on Sunday. Hopefully we win big so we don't have to, but yeah.

No, I know thet Lions gave Rug a shot, but I meant the rookie, Colton Schmidt (punter/kicker), we had in camp....

Oh, I saw his punts in the preseason, they were pretty good. Did he kick any FGs ?

Looks like he is a punter. I still say bring in Rugland to try him out. I mean what harm could it do ?
