[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 822426, member: 10086"] This might be more from an actuary perspective, but also in keeping with the times. We all know that FG Kickers produce more points than any other position in the league. Just a thought but I would love to know how many teams annually remove themselves from the playoffs because their Kicker is in that “average” statistical range or worse. (We’ll call it 12th-21st+range). Many games are decided by 3 points or fewer and it only takes a couple of missed FG (or extra points) attempts in several games to change the dynamics of a season. That doesn’t even take into account the teams that choose to go for it on 4th down because their Kicker doesn’t have the reliability factor past 45+ yards and the recent rules changes that are afforded to opponents starting from the spot of said kick on failed attempts. Then we can start analyzing how many playoff games are directly decided by a failed FG attempt in the closing minutes. In addition the FG % of the winning or losing teams in a playoff game should be strictly considered. Then there’s the monetary aspect of lost Capital to boot. (No pun) While maybe not the most exciting position on its face. The debate on FG kickers doesn’t get near the attention it should in my opinion. I’m glad to see a good discussion on it here though. Teams may do this IDK. But I’d have a program with values set on every possible variable (including salary Cap) and put it into a a program to show my Kickers “Value” score in comparison to those around the league. My best guess is this and it’s only a hypothesis. Anytime I have double digit draft picks in a season I’m picking a K late day 3 unless my Kicker is Probowl level or thereabouts. I don’t think that’s far fetched whatsoever considering how they impact the game and it’s possible the position value is more often undervalued by all of us to some degree [/QUOTE]
