Not to play the scold, but could we can the use of "F'Akers"?

I get it. I agree. David Akers isn't having a good year. And I also agree, he should probably be replaced. For whatever reason, health, age, or some psychological twist... he's not doing his job properly.

But David Akers came in last year and did an outstanding job for us. I mean, how many long kicks did he make last year? How many clutch kicks did he make? How many games did he win for us after our offense couldn't find their way into the End Zone? He set the darned NFL record for points scored by a kicker in a season!

After darned near a decade of living in the NFL crap house... Akers was as important to us as the Defense, in winning those 13 games and getting into the play-off.

So his time is up. But it sounds childish, and more than a little ungrateful of us to be calling him names now.
