[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1020968, member: 10086"] I totally agree that’s a good point. According to articles it took the League from averaging just shy of 99% to just over 95% (call it -3.5%) on 50 XPA or so per Kicker. That’s 2 additional misses from the usual 1 in a season. We should look at that to be accurate in comparison between Careers. Crosby was 95.3% since the XPA rule extended to a 33 yarder. Crosby also switched holders. So that argument (not suggesting you) becomes a bit more sketchy to use as supporting evidence for a Kicker (unless someone wants to literally go back Kick by Kick anyway) Crosby 95.3% XPM% Carlson 86.5% Just to be clear. Any position needs time to set their bearings. Crosby needed time also, but his average reflects that and should everyone else’s once a proper sample size is in play. Crosby also didn’t keep the same holder or snapper every season. So that argument holds minimal value to me personally. If memory serves me, Crosby wasn’t solely at fault for our ST support unit mistakes, yet those mistakes show up on HIS stat line also. For me I’m willing to give anyone time. Certainly a second season unless they are just terrible. Which Carlson is not, he’s ok ish. That said, by this time 2025? If he’s anywhere near 85% XPM I’m personally starting a Fire Carlson thread! :laugh: I’m sure he’s a great Guy. We didn’t hire him to be a great guy. We hired him to be a great Kicker. He’s got 2 years and he’s about 47% into his evaluation period (adequate sample size) for me. I’m not against him I’d love for him to work out, I just don’t like cringing every time we line up to Kick. As someone said we need “automatic” at <=33 yards. That 86.5% number is more a number we need on TOTAL FGM, not XPM [/QUOTE]
