[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 517432"] If you want stats, here's stats: [url]http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/8447/splits/?season=career[/url] [url]http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/8447/situational/?season=career[/url] What jumps out at you? I'll tell you what jumps out at me: 1. Crosby's make % drops precipitously when the temp is below 60 degrees. This supports my conclusion from an earlier discussion that Crosby is inherently a dome kicker, thanks to other [I][B]stats[/B][/I] courtesy of GoPGo. 2. The fact that Lambeau is reputed to be a bad place to kick has had only a marginal affect on Crosby's record. He's 77.2% home vs. 78.3% away. The study in question takes in more years before the hybrid turf was installed than after, while Crosby's entire career has been on the hybrid stuff. If you think this isn't a factor, think about the last time you saw a divot on this newer turf. While Lambeau can be colder than other outdoor stadiums late in the season, it is a good kicking surface. I doubt Lambeau is a markedly worse place to kick than any other northern outdoor stadium. 3. Some of us liked the prospect of swapping out Crosby for Dan Carpenter.
