[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 965871, member: 17953"] So, in 2019 he was 22 of 24, and in 2020, he was 16 of 16. That does not sound like a kicker who isn't accurate. But, because of last year's debacle, which was pointed out as being more of a blocking, snap, and hold problem, and proven accurate in the playoffs, and even admitted to by the coaches, Crosby should be thrown under the bus as the sacrificial lamb for the poor decisions made by players assigned the aforementioned duties? What you haven't considered is that there are no Packer kickers except for Longwell and Crosby anywhere in the stats that resemble what people who live on stats alone consider "decent." It makes me wonder how guys like Jan Stenerud with just under 70% over a career made it into the HOF. Oh! I got it! He kicked on grass, and outdoors, just like Crosby. At least those people understand the mechanics and the results, based on surfaces and weather. And, by the way, you might want to look at Jan's 4 years in GB. He kicked at an 81% rate. Kicking isn't just stats. It's making that big kick when you need it, especially in bad weather. Crosby has been as good as anybody at that over the course of all the years I've watched the Packers, and that's over 70 years. But, what would I know, the Packers front office know, the coaches know, or anyone else? The stats say we're all wrong....... Yet, when the season starts, if he's healthy, Mason Crosby will be the Packers kicker, and the carping against him will continue, just like it does against Rodgers, because he hasn't won enough Super Bowls for some people, who think that's the only stat that matters for a QB.
