I wonder if said kicker knew he was competition for Carlson, and if Carlson kicked well, the vet was gone. So off he goes to a team who makes him the undoubted #1 kicker guy dude.
As to whether Anders Carlson was #1 in the league in missed extra points, or whether he was last in extra point conversions, the answer is, well, yes.
I think Daniel Whelan needs to bring Carlson back to Ireland this offseason and have the kid play some rugby over there. Somehow, I think that'll straighten the kid right out.
