Cortez was 18 of 25 with four blocked kicks in 01. I think Pochman was by far the worst because he totally fell apart.

As for people hating on Williams well he did redeem himself this season so back off.

players and fans liked cortez cuz he was one of the few kickers in the history of the nfl who would lead the charge down the fields and make tackles! the williams stuff is just silly and stupid. kyle redeemed himself this year and next year with ginn gone, he will be a good wide out(certainly a better third wide out than what we have now) and our main punt returner

In Pochman's last game with the 49ers, he missed two field goals and booted the overtime kickoff out of bounds to hand the Arizona Cardinals a gift-wrapped victory. As Mercury News columnist Mark Purdy wrote that day, "By the time you read these words ... Pochman will be either out of a job or out of the country. Or both, if he's smart."
....
He writes of that Arizona game: "I felt like I was in the locker room of the opposing team. No one wanted to talk to me or look at me. Jim Mora, Jr., the former defensive coordinator, screamed, 'I can't put my kids through (expletive) college because our kicker can't make a field goal.' He's a millionaire, but I still wanted to hand him all the money in my wallet, I felt so bad.

"I took off my jersey and gave one more look at POCHMAN stitched across the back, knowing it would be the last time I ever put that jersey on. Then I threw it into the laundry bin, along with my career in the NFL."
....
It got worse. The only place teammates left for him on the 49ers' bus was a seat covered in barbecue sauce. Pochman discovered the sauce belatedly but was too horrified to get up and walk past everyone again.

"So I sat like a marinating piece of meat for the entire ride to the airport," he writes.

Wow

I believe Cofer missed an XP in the SB vs. Broncos. So, Niners only end up with 55 points instead of 56.

Roger that! I get why people heap scorn on Cortez, but he was only on the team for a season and a half or so. Sure, he was woeful, awful, and plain incompetent, but Cofer had something like two good seasons then squated on the roster like a bum under a bridge for something like four more seasons. I'll admit that Cofer was technically a bit better than Cortez, but he could still hook anything from anywhere--and he did it for four f'ing seasons!
