Over the years, the best of them have had days where they couldn't get the job done. If you held every player on the roster up to those criteria of getting it right every time, you'd run out of players in a couple of games because all of them would fail.It's kind of like baseball. As a hitter, if you get it wrong 70% of the time, you're still a .300 hitter and that's pretty darned good. A kicker hovering around 90% is a decent kicker for the most part. I've also noticed that some of the longest kickers tend to miss mostly in the mid-range basis. Also, consider the fact that not that long ago, the distance kicking extra points now was considered a substantial length field goal. The game has evolved, kicking styles evolved, the ball and field consistency has evolved, and even the inflation of the ball has changed.</blockquote>
