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

Whom would you rather have kicking for the Packers while they're trailing 17-16?

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.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.

He wouldn't make it at 56 yards, because he wouldn't try.

Perhaps I was a little vague in my last post.

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.

I'll take Crosby. Stronger leg, hasn't defected. If Longwell was asked to kick 56 yard field goals in Lambeau in Nov and Dec his percentage wouldn't be so good either. Actually, I don't know if Longwell could get if over the crossbar at that time of the year from that distance.
Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?
