[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 833392, member: 12283"] I don't really agree with you. But not because I think there's a great kicker hiding under every rock. I disagree because of how poor Crosby has been of late. Yeah, the Bears have been in a fix lately (for example), but the guy they cut, Cody Parkey, missed exactly the same number of kicks as Crosby and was basically his equal in cold weather. It's not like they were way worse off-- they just apparently have higher standards or less loyalty. You also have to consider that even if the did get worse in FG%, they would still be getting worse for cheaper. So in a worst case scenario, you take a small step back from Crosby and sign some quality depth or have more space to allocate towards signing/resigning a starter. Is that really a big net loss to the team? And lastly, literally every time you replace an old, underperforming, overpaid player, there is technically the risk that you could get worse. I don't understand the logic of keeping bad, expensive players just because you're worried about the possibility of having worse, cheap players. You have to try to get better. That said, I don't think they've brought in a viable replacement this offseason, so I don't think Crosby is going anywhere. Which is fine. But I'll be ticked if they give him a new deal. I would actually like it if they brought Parkey into camp and let him compete with Crosby. To be totally honest, I think the only reason that Crosby is getting this kind of consideration is that he's been around a long time. But being below average for a really long time in one place doesn't really do anything for me. [/QUOTE]
