I agree with the frozen tundra thing - harder for crosby but harder for others also.

I used to like ryan longwell back in the day. But hes is in Mn along with some other guy.

anyways.

wtf ever ... time to kick ass and take names. crosby for president

actually inside of forty he is 37 of 41 for 90.2%

and flip the attempt and made around ie 25 attempts 21 made

It looks like Crosby's overall percentage has suffered somewhat because of the Packers' efficiency in the red zone these past couple years, which has resulted in more TD's and fewer field goal attempts under 30 yards. So I'm a little more inclined to cut him some slack after seeing these numbers.

I'm still a Crosby skeptic, though. There have been too many times when the announcers tell us how Crosby was drilling them from 60 yards out in warmups, and then in the game he can't kick it straight.

I think fans tend to be too easy on Crosby because his kickoffs are long, and fans like long kickoffs. I like long kickoffs too, but I'll take one more made field goal (okay, maybe two) over a season's worth of long kickoffs.

Thanks, I've adjusted the first post to recognise this.



I think that's accounted for because he's incredibly accurate (well, perfect) inside of 30 yards, but surprisngly inaccurate from there on out. That's why I thought it was interesting to post his totals from different distances rather than just the overall success rate.

this is his 2nd year pro, cut him some slack

3rd year
Drafted in 07

I think Crosby would be the first to say that he can do better.

Some of the problem has been holders.
Some of the problem has been weather.
Some of the problem has been his concetration and youth.

I have been a little frustrated with him but I think he will do just fine over the long run.

I'd still cut him some slack. Like i said, he's had many holders, and that DOES matter.
I really think he'll be fine. The preseason he had a revolving door at holder. He will settle down.
