[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 822394, member: 10441"] I've seen other teams and their kickers. I've seen better, I've seen much worse. Outside of a bad year and one of the worst games i've ever seen from anyone, There haven't been a whole lot of kicks where i was left shaking my head It's like saying he's a bad long range kicker because he doesn't have a great average from 50 when many of his misses were in cold weather and some were not your 51 yarders they were 57+ or take a season like 2017 where he had very few kicks at all, toss in some issues with a holder and a couple missed kicks attributed to affect an average from below 80 to a few tenths below 90%. Until you line up every kicker you want to compare him too, their longevity, the context around kicks, the overall stats don't matter much. Some guys kick for 1 year, some for 15. Some have 30 kicks, some have 15. Some kick mostly in a dome, some outside. Yes, I know opposing kickers have a better percentage at lambeau. Of course most them only have a couple kicks there compared to a career in all conditions. Until the kicks are compared side by side, they don't really matter. Kicker B was 100% becuse he kicked 3 under 40 yarders. Crosby lined up and attempted a 59 yarder at the half and missed, was 1 for 2 on the day and 50%. Significant? Not until you get into the details. Some kickers get to work thru new snappers or special teams with an issue of blocked kicks etc. You can play with the stats however you want. A bad season and a terrible game bring his averages down compared to a couple others, but on a whole he's been pretty consistent for a long time. [/QUOTE]
