Much to the dismay of many ... there is not a better Kicker available. Packers are stuck with Mason Crosby.

I like Crosby because he's not a complainer, keeps plugging and especially his let strength. But results are what count.

What bothers me is making him attempt field goals that long with the problems he's having. Mason is a delicate snowflake right now. I'm thinking trial by fire isn't the best approach.
