[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 665138"] You cite one? That's not a dime a dozen. I'll help you out. There were two other first year kickers who had a higher FG make % than Crosby last season. But you would have known that if you read my posts. So, there were 3 first year kickers that out performed Crosby last season. That's not a dime a dozen either. You should be aware the Chargers went with a first year kicker, Josh Lambo. He ranked 26th. at 81.3% FG makes while also missing 4 of 32 EPs. The Dolphins went with a first year kicker as well, Andrew Franks, also ranked ranked 26th, with the same 81.3% FG makes, while also missing 3 of 36 EPs. At no time did I suggest there are no good kickers coming into the league each years. What I did highlight is [B][I]how few of them[/I][/B] there are, which goes to explain why kicker longevity is so extreme once they prove themselves while getting paid handsomely in the bargain. Rookie kickers are very risky; the ones who prove up are decidedly [B][I]not [/I][/B]a dime a dozen, which is the bone of contention in this debate. This was covered already once. For the umpteenth time, this is not to dispute whether Crosby is overpaid. [B][I]This is about your "dime a dozen" contention.[/I][/B] Your task (already posed) should you choose to accept it, is to find out how many first year kickers are on 90 man rosters currently, or better yet how many were on 90 man rosters going into training camp last season. That would tell us the pool of possible starting kickers out of which perhaps 3 Crosby out-performers will emerge. [/QUOTE]
