The grass is greener on the other side of the fence, when there is a kicker on the other side of the fence that doesn't suck shit.

Whether it's Crosby or Tevecchio, either is probably better than Carpenter.

You missed the most important part of that article.

"Carpenter has struggled with accuracy at points during his career, but he’s still likely to be on the list of veteran kickers called by teams in search of kicking help this season."

Not sure this wouldn't be trading one problem for the same.

Statistically, he's only had one bad year ('10 at 73.2%). He has been almost automatic from inside of 40, hitting 69 of 72 (95.8%) for his career.

In comparison, Crosby has hit 95 of 106 from inside 40 (89.6%).

Carpenter has also had more success from distance, hitting a higher percentage of his kicks from distance and showing some leg with longs of 60 and 58 in 2010 and 2011 respectively.

I know it is harder to kick in Green Bay than Miami, so it is not an apples to apples comparison. It's also a limited sample size. That said, I don't think it could hurt to bring the guy in for a look.

The coaches like him, because he has a strong leg and and do specialty kicks, like onside kicks, squibs, etc. He also doesn't "blame the holder" like Longwell did. (Maybe THAT'S the advice Longwell gave him.)

Still, they messed his head up in last year's Family Night. He's lost it.
