[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 666369, member: 7261"] Thanks for those stats. Given that Crosby's only game tying/winning field goal misses all came from 50+ yards, along with the 1 blocked kick, that doesn't bother me a whole lot. Besides the added pressure of the game being on the line, you also have a defense that is probably coming harder as well as more focused knowing what that kick means. The highest paid kicker in the league, Justin Tucker, is 18 of 30 (60%) on FG's from 50+ yards. Not sure what Tucker's % is on 50+ with the game on the line. At least I surprised you with one stat :) and yes, I think one definitely needs to consider length of FG's made and missed along with the distances in order to get a bigger picture then just mere percentages of made and missed. But we could go around and around on stats and reasons for and against what the Packers are paying Crosby and it won't change anything. Some teams are just more willing then others to pay veteran kickers big bucks for what is perceived as a known quantity. Some of the kickers on the low end of the pay grade look like bargains, some look like nightmares. But I guarantee you, when the kickers who are performing well have their contracts up for negotiations, they will probably be making more the Crosby. One final point. Right now, many of the top paid kickers salaries are based on older contracts. This not only skews ones perception of what Crosby is being paid on a new contract, but I am guessing was a factor in negotiations with Crosby and his agent. [/QUOTE]
