Several things.

Only 4 games left in season, anyway, so McVay chose to go with Havrisik.

Crosby was taking up a valuable roster spot so he was a victim of the numbers game.

It’s possible, if not probable that Crosby disappointed in practice after his signing.

Havrisik has another 4 games to fully redeem himself and remain the PK for 2024. If not, they simply start a new search. The die is cast.

None of these explain why the move was made in the first place. If there are only a few games left and it doesn't matter, and roster spots are so precious, why sign Crosby in the first place? To push Havrisik to have a good practice? Folks can try to explain away or make sense of it, but it comes across as very reactionary. Not to mention we aren't just risking games now, but one crummy kick can cost us the season. Heck of a dice roll to develop a kicker...

And also about those "only 4 games" left, they happen to be a VERY important 4 games since we are still in the Playoff hunt. From this point on, ANY loss could end our playoff aspirations so this move could be a very crucial one.

Maybe Crosby just wasn't that good?
Maybe Havrisik was just better than Crosby?

If Crosby wasn't "good enough" then why sign him at all??? Very confusing indeed!

#HelmetHornsMatter

“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.

“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
