One good game and you think he should be here next year? Didn't you see how many bad games he had during the season. Last year, when Tupa was around, he was booming punts, and giving us great field position. He probably still has a few good years left in him. As for John Hall, ever since he got injured he hasn't been the same. It's time to cut him, imo. He can't even kick 50 yarders anymore. When was the last time he got a touchback on a kickoff? Pick up Novak.

I'm not hating on Tupa. But you have to admit the guy is overpaid. 1 million for a punter when we're trying to trim down our cap numbers? C'mon.

I agree Frost has been pi$$ poor in some games, and has shanked them at critical times. However, he will get better with experience. What he did in the 1st quarter of the Seattle game..again - 5-6 punts one after the other, backed up in our own end zone, in bad weather, on the road, and in the playoffs - that was remarkable. Those are the toughest punts to make. Are you that confident this guy won't get better?

Perhaps we can do better than both Tupa and Frost - I don't know.
