Over the years the Packers have brought in a number of kickers to compete with Crosby for the job and Crosby has managed to keep his job for the past 12 years.  Maybe season #13 will be his unlucky one.  If the Packers decide to keep him over Sam Ficken, Cole Tracy or whoever else they bring in, I can live with that decision. Crosby has been a clutch playoff kicker, solid on kickoffs and if a bad snap, bad hold or a bad kick costs the Packers a few FG's in the regular season, so be it, I know what I have with Crosby.</blockquote>
