Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 6794" data-source="post: 965408">Crosby's average distance of field goals missed (45.50 yards) is de facto the league average (45.49 yards) as well since 2007. While the percentage of kicks blocked is higher for Crosby (2.85%) than the league average (1.97%) it's tough to figure out if some of them should be blamed on him.I have said it repeatedly, Crosby is the only player I can remember the majority of fans have gone to length to come up with excuses for his performance despite evidence showing he has been below average for most of his career. I really have no clue about the reasoning behind it.On the other hand those fans want to throw Rodgers under the bus after performing below his standards in a single game without hesitation. Doesn't make any sense to me.Once again, opposing kickers (38.38 yards) have a higher average distance of field goal attempts at Lambeau than Crosby (37.71) since 2007.I agree the Packers front office hasn't been able to find a better kicker than Crosby. They should be criticized for not being able to upgrade the position from a below average kicker. It shouldn't be considered as evidence for Crosby being a top kicker though.</blockquote>
