[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 478823, member: 5830"] I'm not going to say that this is the wrong strategy, because depending on the use it could be smart. However, I will give you guys something to think about regarding that notion. Here are Crosby's career (not including this season 2007-2011) and 2012 stats: [B]Career__2012[/B] 100%____100%__0-19 yards 95%_____100%__20-29 yards 86%_____71%___30-39 yards 69%_____70%___40-49 yards 50%_____13%___50+ yards As far as percentages go, he is at career averages for everything but 30-39 and 50+. He is 5 for 7 in the 30-39 range which is not unusual for him, but missing any more from that range would tie his record of three in 2008. What has really dropped his overall season average is going 1 for 8 kicking over 50 yards. Compared to other Packer kickers, Crosby's career averages are better than Chris Jacke's and even with Ryan Longwell's stats under 50 yards. Over 50 yards those guys kicked 65% (Jacke) and 59% (Longwell) while Crosby is a career 50% guy. So clearly Crosby is -- EVEN THIS SEASON -- kicking just fine under 50 yards, but he sucks from long range. The point is that bringing in another kicker to go 50+ could be a good decision. Why McCarthy keeps trotting the guy out for 50+ kicks is the head-scratcher. No other Packer kicker has attempted more than 6 field goals except when Chris Jacke went 6 for 7 in 1993. The point is that he isn't connecting long and might be killing his confidence. Keep him kicking under 50 where he is doing just fine and the Packers will be just fine. For anybody who thinks that bring Olindo Mare in, he's a worse 50+ kicker than Crosby at 44.2%. He went 0-2 last year from that distance and missed three FGs in the 30-39 range last year as well. He's no better than Crosby right now, in fact worse. Think before you type. [/QUOTE]
