He was REALLY off last year, for sure.
What i'd like to see for comparison, how many kickers had most of their kicks in a dome, or in great weather. I can see how a kicker in Florida or California or Arizona probably would have a better percentage.
But i never see those conditions, or the distance of the kicks attempted figured in. Are these high percentage kickers doing it from inside 30 yards? Are their offenses unable to punch it into the endzone regularly, thus giving alot of "chip shot" FG attempts?
Yes, i don't diassagree that he hasn't been great. But i wish they would factor in all aspects.

Crosby's high scoring is more the result of unfinished drives than kicking ability. I could hit 60 home runs a year if I got to bat 10,000 times.

His problem is that he's a knuckleballer. I don't know what causes it, and I don't know how to fix it, but when your kick changes direction every 20 yards you're going to miss a few...

Good point.
I was thinking that as i was waiting in line at Fan Fest, and was watching last year's highlight video. I was shocked at how many times they showed us getting deep into the other teams territory, then you see Crosby kicking.
More TD's would solve ALOT.
