You are great at mentioning the extraneous points in all of your arguments. Point being, Gilliken punted amazing and your stats can mean doo doo at times. The good old fashioned eye test, especially for punters is important. And again Siposs just blows, when it matters. Gilliken was actually clutch in that game. You won't know that from a stat sheet.  Kern was abysmal. And Siposs wasn't quite abysmal. Okay, let's keep him.

You are combining insult and ignorance.

Not a team in professional sports I dislike more than the Phillies.

Its weird how not a single NFL player who was good at their job was put on waivers or released, did not go to a new team, got added back to the practice squad, and faced tryouts of 3 or more players at his position.

 

Now if one were to pretend those who had to go through that were competent or good, that would be ignorant.

IMO, my preferences for a punter, in order of priority:

1. Don't shank kicks.

2. Don't blow holds.

3. Big leg to flip the field.

4. Accuracy/placement to pin teams deep.

 

The Eagles are going to be going for it in most "pin 'em deep" situations anyway, so that's just not as much of a priority.  Any punters with the leg to consistently flip the field are already on teams.  So they just need someone to not screw up.

Spot on, but with one addendum:

1B) Especially in the Super Bowl

Our local store used to carry turkey hill ice cream and they recently stopped and I'm so upset, I didn't know it was a Penn company and looked up where it was from, when I learned Pennsylvania I tried to talk my wife into moving to Philly.

Their simple Belgium chocolate is the best, 5 ingredients takes me about 5 minutes to eat the whole tub.😁

 

Kickers all over the nfl are making a higher percentage of kicks and you rarely see a hold impact a kick.  This Siposs is the golden god of holders argument seems exaggerated

Didn't we see a snap and hold impact an Elliot kick in the preseason? Yeah ... it's probably not important. 

I don't think it comes down to other people not being able to learn the job. It's just a kicker thing --- ask the kicker who he has the most confidence in and try to make sure he has that guy. Akers liked Detmer and the Eagles regularly kept Koy as the QB2 during the initial "emergency QB era" so he could come into the game and hold without McNabb having to stay out (because of the rule). 

If we replace Siposs, the new guy will have to take over as the holder. I'm sure most punters can handle the job with some practice. But there are always holders that are sketchy:

Based on what evidence? He had opportunity and couldnt displace our two meh backups

Based on high end physical ability.

He’s brand new to the position and spent time injured.

Which he has, allegedly, yet never got anywhere close to this theoretical ceiling…so the null hypothesis holds and the hypothesis is deemed incorrect/false

just accept that there is a massive flaw in argument.

Yeah, because Jackson has the potential to catch 15-20 times that number.

Grant has the potential to catch 16-21 times that number.

It's not a matter of it not being important it's a matter of it being routinely done well throughout the league. The Tony Romo thing was fun but almost 20 years ago.  That's how far you have to go back to have memorable bad hold.  Of course you don't want to sign a terrible holder

I’m gonna apply. First article is gonna be about either tyree jackson why he got cut or anyone over siposs

Which he has empirically. It’s been tested and measured. Again, he didn’t start playing TE until 2021. Then he broke a bone and missed almost the whole season, despite having a great training camp. Then he tore his ACL.

Context matters. If you have multiple injuries that send you to IR, one of which is a 9 month minimum recovery, and you’re trying to learn a new position, these things matter and take time.

Its not a contest for who can be tallest or jump high. Thats all that can be tested empirically. This is about application in the conext of football which is far more variables than your testing can hope to decipher
