Can we get this man to the Pro Bowl? 23/23 on the year.

After yesterday Nick Folk is 81.6% on FGs in his Jets career (and 85.7% from under 50 yards). If he makes his next attempt, he'll tie Feely's record for most consecutive FGs made by a Jets kicker.

Hoping for a perfect season might be a little too much to ask considering the winds of the Meadowlands, but it would be pretty great.

I just want him to break Jay Feely's tackling record. 

It's more important.

Folk is clearly the team's MVP. 

Our DL has been money...but having a clutch kicker can't be overlooked.  Especially with this franchise....my memory is still infested with the kicking cancer Doug Brien put there.

I've been a Folk fan since he came here but what's really impressed me this year is the distance on his kicks. He's hitting 40+ yarders with 10+ yards to spare. And he's doing it in the swamp.

The most interesting part is the movement on his kicks. It's like a whacked out curveball. It swings far to the right, then suddenly dives left.

Folk Hero.

Teams that draft well do so no matter where they pick. Teams that draft poorly do so no matter where they pick I want my team to win games and draft well

Does anyone know what his % is on game-winning kicks? Not something I want to pore over and compile myself right now, was hoping someone already worked it out.

When the final score differential is 7 or less points, he's 100% in PATs (96/96) and 81.7% on FG attempts (76/93) during his career.

He's had 34 go-ahead and 15 tying FGs in his career. I don't know the percentage.

I can't remember a time when he's missed with the game on the line.

From /r/nfl's power rankings:

"There are four kickers with 100% accuracy left in the NFL: two of them are 10 for 10, one is 12 for 12, and Nick Folk is 23 for 23."

He may have a 100% field goal percentage, but he has whiffed on at least one tackle, he's a bum.

Seriously, he hasn't missed an important kick since he has been here, the guy is $$$ and every year they bring someone in to bust his balls.

One of the complaints was Feely tackled people, it was pretty comical. Folk has been a way better kicker here.

I remember someone, and I think it was Iggy, on TGG trying to tell everyone about the coach that Folk worked with to improve once his time ended in Dallas.

I'm not going to lie, I liked Feeley, but I wasn't completely "Folk-this!" The guy can kick. Jerry Jones is just a moron.

The part about bringing in competition for him is laughable. I wonder if he just thinks "Yeah, okay. Good luck, buddy" whenever someone shows up to compete with him.

I think I remember Dallas bailing on him because of a hip injury. Maybe they thought he wouldn't recover.

Yeah he struggled for a year because a hip injury altered his form.
