[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 665147"] Actually, it would be first year kickers. You'd want to include all the guys who didn't make a roster last season. It would demonstrate how large the pool of first year kickers happens to be out of which 3 decent kickers emerged. It goes to the point of your "dime a dozen" contention. Just because you can't query it doesn't mean it's not relevant. It is very relevant. See above. There are certainly rookies out there capable of doing the same job, but you don't know which ones will succeed in money games out of the pool and you don't know which ones would prefer not to play in Green Bay given a UDFA's options if the player is any good. Of course there are rookies who have kicked in the league. If there weren't, in time there wouldn't be any kickers at all. 3 outperformed Crosby last year. So how easy is it to find one of those guys? It's not. It's a crap shoot, in fact. And as I posted earlier, the trend is fewer and fewer 2nd., 3rd., 4th. and 5th. year kickers. The ones who do make it as a rookie tend to eventually blow up. You mean like Lambo, Franks and the untold numbers that don't make a roster? Again, this is not a debate about whether Crosby is overpaid. It's about those so-called "dime a dozen" replacements. Instead of rolling the dice, perhaps a more reasonably priced free agent would have been the solution. Josh Brown put together 3 consecutive outstanding seasons, and re-signed with the Giants for 2 years, $2 mil per year. I would not have cried if the Packers paid somewhat above that deal to secure him. [/QUOTE]
