[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 666269"] Well, the dead money only counts against the salary cap once a player is released or traded. Sometimes teams would take an additional cap hit by cutting a player so letting him go isn't an option. In addition he has to be replaced adequately, resulting in another contract eating up part of the salary cap. Crosby's misses in those situations came from between 51 and 53 yards as well as a blocked field goal from 38. I was surprised to find out that the Packers are third in the league in total attempts from 50+ yards during Crosby's tenure. That's the only of the ones you mentioned partly explaining his low field goal percentage though. It doesn't make any sense to take out an entire season or a number of long kicks. In addition his success rate being lower because of him kicking in cold weather is a myth as has been proven in the thread about the team re-signing him. [/QUOTE]
