[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 517427"] First of all, I never said stats are to be ignored, only the bad stats of questionable provenance. Is the paper well-reasoned in it's conclusions? Is an "attempt" that produces a bad stat better than no stat at all? No and no. The real irony here is that the study in question did not include 2012! The study in question ranks Crosby 19th. among 55 qualifying kickers over a decade [B]excluding 2012[/B]. I don't like repeating myself, but that's critical. There's irony here. It is reasonable to think the authors' methods might drop him 6 or so spots, squarely into the average range, if his dismal 2012 is included...which is exactly what I said...[B]average when factoring environmental factors[/B]. One interesting and credible fact I gleaned from the paper is that altitude (read: Denver vs. everywhere else) is the biggest factor in NFL field goal success. [B]Where did Crosby play college football? Boulder, Colorado, elevation 5,430 ft.[/B] This might help to explain why a kicker coming out of college with a big-leg reputation has had a poor record at 50+ yards in the pros. [/QUOTE]
