I get it he's overpaid, that's what Russ Ball is for. He'll make his $3.6M this year and after that they can find a much better team friendly deal for under $2.75MI'll agree with you on the Lutz move, but my only concern(and probably was the Packers as well) was that a guy who kicks in a dome or South Florida at least 10 out of 16 possible games in the regular season may not fair as well at Lambeau.We must be getting our stats from different sources. Yes Crosby has kicked for longer(roughly 50 games) than Longwell, but Longwell's career percentage with the Packers is 81.6%, Crosby's is 80.3%. Would that 1.3% difference have won us more games? Who's to say?I had to look up Stenerud(born in 88) but his percentage over  his short 3 year career was only 80.8% The next kicker I actually had in mind was Chris Jacke who had a career percentage of 77.2%. To be honest after doing more research nobody in Packers history seems to have a career percentage besting Longwell's. So that says to me traditionally that the Packers don't value having an All-Pro Kicker to win Super Bowls; and let's be honest, have we?Nope, I get that Kicker/Punter may not have as much of an impact to the game as the QB position, but if you look at K/P signings across the league, most are retreads who didn't work out with their former team(s). Yes, every couple years some new blood sticks to replace guys who finally hang it up, but in my opinion you have far more darts to throw at the proverbial board at QB than you do at Kicker/Punter.We analyze games differently and that's fine. Granted being overseas hampered my watching of the games with my usual eye, with the exception of Detroit(Yes he was horrible) and Arizona(which I honestly believe AR told him to miss it), we normally had a handful of possessions following Crosby's miss that had they ended in TDs instead of punts and field goal attempts would have changed the entire landscape of the game. I blame that more on MM and his abysmal offensive design than I do Crosby, call me biased.</blockquote>
