[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 965960"] Actually Crosby was pretty good in 2019 and '20. That should be considered as an outlier compared to the rest of his career though. You just don't understand that it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to compare kickers from different eras based on field goal percentage. While Stenerud only made 66.85% of his attempts over his career, that was 4.38% over the league average during that period. While in Green Bay for four seasons, his FG percentage of 80.82% was an astonishing 13.64% over the league average from 1980-83. He was an elite kicker compared to the rest of his peers at that point while Crosby has mostly been below average for all of his career. The huge difference being that Rodgers has been criticized by the majority of Packers' fans during the rare seasons his numbers dropped despite he never finished below average in passer rating in any of those years. For some reason, the same approach isn't applied when talking about Crosby. You need to consider that kickoffs take place from the 25-yard line in the USFL though. You're right about that, Crosby has a field goal percentage of 84.6% playing in domes while only 80.4% in outdoor stadiums. Here's a list of field goal percentage at all stadiums that have been around since 2007: Carolina 85.93% Jacksonville 85.91% Pittsburgh 85.33% Cincinnati 85.08% Philadelphia 84.96% Tennessee 84.90% Baltimore 84.45% Houston 84.30% New England 83.66% Seattle 83.60% Denver 83.47% Detroit 83.37% Buffalo 82.64% [B]Green Bay 82.57%[/B] Kansas City 82.42% Chicago 82.06% Arizona 81.72% New Orleans 81.47% Miami 80.95% Cleveland 80.92% Washington 80.85% Tampa Bay 78.57% It doesn't seem to be much easier to kick in a dome or in warm weather, teams just need a talented kicker to make it work. For example, last season Crosby would have had to make six more field goals to move into the top 1/3 kickers in the league. That's a pretty significant number considering he only attempted 34 field goals. [/QUOTE]
