You're acting like the guy is in a five-star
The Kicker we offered is a five-star kid
Half of his highlights are 63 yard field goals
He's obviously better than Jesus
Not that Jesus is bad, because he isn't, he's really damn good
But if there's a better option then you go with the better option

He would be the first five star in the history of the Mid-American Conference for football
To say the least, the guy is really good at kicking the football

I see and respect your point about the 63-yard field goals. But:

Chad Ryland had arguably a stronger leg than Jesus. In his first two seasons, he was 3-4 from over 50 yards and a stellar 6-9 in his EMU career. Long leg for sure.

Chad, however, broke a lot of EMU hearts with a 4-13 performance from less than 39 yards in his first two seasons. He was a major component in EMU leading the NCAA in one possession losses as many of those close misses came at crunch time. One could suggest the long ball kicker choked when it counted.

I simply find little to complain about Gomez's performance in his first season. Also, I do remember Jim Harbaugh sleeping over to recruit the five-star recruit, Quinn Nordin. Quinn had a long leg, but walk-on Jake Moody ended up putting him on the pine. 63-yard field goals are nice, but Jesus has been great.
