Best NFL kicker of all time?

After watching a pretty sweet game between the Colts and the Giants, one of the sportscasters said something interesting.
"And Vinetieri, one of the most clutch kickers of all time,"

Correct me if I'm wrong - Vinetieri is the best NFL kicker of all time. No other kicker has even had the chance to kick the gamebreaking field goal attempts that he has. Capping two Superbowl games, both vital final minute kicks - to numerous game winning kicks. Pressure is non-existant to that man, and if not, it only helps him. I can't remember the last time he missed an important kick. When the team really needs it, he gets it.

I wouldnt say the greatest kicker, but he may be the most clutch kicker of all time. But then again thats debatable as well.

Who is better? There are a lot of standout kickers in the NFL, but none come close to Vinetieri.

Jeff Wilkins. He is pretty damn good.

I very happy the Colts got him! We have have lost Mike VanIcanthitwhenitcountsevenagainstthejets who according to stats is the greatest the game has ever seen, but he chokes bad... We actually have someone who can kickoff now as well! He's Mr. Clutch...

Jason Hanson has been great for a long time. But, the Lions never put him in any clutch situations, so It's hard to compare. I think Vinitieri is the best. Certainly hasn't failed often. And made some great kicks in really crappy weather conditions.

Did you guys know Mike Vanderjet tried to commit suicide after he missed that kick in the playoffs last year?

You sure that wasn't Peyton Manning trying to commit murder?

No, he tried to hang himself. He wasn't successful because he couldn't kick the chair from under him...

I thought he tried to shoot himself, but he was wide right.

Vinetieri would kick him, the other guy, and you, in the nuts

Saying Vinetieri is the greatest kicker is like saying Brady is the greatest QB of all time. Both certainly have a case, but only time will tell.

Real mature dickhead. You don't even know who I am talking about, do you?

Posted by: JerseyDevil

I always thought of Vinetieri as Mr Clutch, and in my mind the 'greatest' needs to have consistency also. I did some research and see that his current lifetime pct is 82% which pretty much blows aways the 66% lifetime of Stenerud, but he did play 20 years. Vinetieri has played 10. Wonder if he will do as well the next 10 years.

It was a joke guy, try to focus in on the "hahah" at the end... I was attempting to play a pun on the "kick" word, as we are discussing kickers.

I caught it, however thats what the big stir at IM has been lately. People poking fun, cussing, and trying to give others crap about simply nothing. Thats why we have new infratcions.

Gary Anderson. No one else comes close.

http://espn.go.com/page2/s/list/nfl/bestrecords.html

Anderson is #1 on both the all-time NFL scoring list and the single season scoring list (1998 Vikings). After several attempts at retiring, he's finally gone fly fishing full time. He also managed a perfect season: 94 opportunities to score, 94 conversions.
