Gostkowski has had off years the last 2 out of 3.  As a matter of fact, in the past three Super Bowls he's played in, he's gone just 4 of 6 on extra points (66.7 percent) and 6 of 8 on field goals (75 percent).I guess it comes down to how confident you are with a rookie and if he can kick in the clutch (see Daniel Carlson).  If you find one you trust, go for it.  However, for $400K, I would hang on to Crosby at least until the final cuts, just in case you don't find that Rookie.</blockquote>
