Crosby definitely. Better leg and doesn't complain about the holders/weather like longwell did when he was here.

No need for a 37 year old kicker. After a year or maybe two they will have to replace him.

I think the answer is Ryan Longwell. He was clutch with the Packers and Vikings. He's accurate. His leg isn't stronger than Crosby's is, but beyond that, he does everything better than Crosby.

In my view, it isn't even a competition unless you factor in age. Seriously, how many kickers actually play 20 years for one team? None in the modern era, so Crosby likely has only another three, four, or five-year run left with the Packers.

I can't imagine Longwell can't play another four years.

Crosby.

If I wanted a guy who wouldn't pitch a fit at the thought of doing it,

Crosby.

The grass is always greener in the NFL, it seems. The biggest reason that kickers get cut appears to be when missing an important fiel goal, regardless of how they've been doing. Best example might be Shayne Graham. Amazing kicker for the Bengals, misses two "clutch" field goals, gets replaced by Mike Nugent. A good kicker in his own right, but not exactly an upgrade or anything.

I think our staff is one of the more sensible ones. If they like Crosby, they'll keep him around. I don't know if they'll just scapegoat him like a lot of teams do to their kickers and kick him to the curb.
