Barring some incredible scoring feat by Ray Bironos tonight (18pts.), Mason Crosby will be the leagues high scorer for the year. Couldn't of happened to a nicer guy.

What a great 6th round pick...and it's not as though he did it kicking for a dome team, either. Congrats!Teamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another.

Also, he now has the highest scoring season by a kicker in franchise history and third-highest season point total by any Packers player.
and....probably the best perk IMHO....he passed up moss

It is an incredible feat by Crosby. If you think about all of the great kickers we have had in Green Bay, it's really a huge deal!
What is even more incredible is that we were in the position for him to kick the FG's often enough for him to have the chance to do that. Next season, if Favre returns, maybe we can take a run at the new total points scored in a season record and Crosby won't have to kick FG's as much.

I doubt he'll actually get the ROY - I just can't see a kicker/special teamer landing it. Not that I think he shouldn't, but I think he probably won't even get consideration.
Maybe the one thing he has going for him is that the players at the top of the draft haven't lit it up. CJ has been just ok, Russel didn't play...Joe Thomas is probably the best of the top 5, and he's OL, so there are no numbers to point at for him.--
Imagine for a moment a world without hypothetical situations...Comment

Ted worked magic with 6th rounders this year. 3 starters and a special teams contributor.

Peterson had OROY locked up about a month ago, but since then has simply been poor. I think he'll still get it though.
Frankly, Joe Thomas deserves it. For a rookie LT to dominate how he did was phenominal.All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!Comment

Speaking of left tackles, remember all the predictions of greatness for D'Brickshaw Ferguson before the draft? Many said he would be a pillar at LT to build a line around. During the game yesterday they put up a graphic of "sacks allowed" by O-linemen around the league. Ferguson leads the entire NFL in most sacks allowed. I believe it was 16 going into yesterday.Originally posted by Cheesehead CraigComment

Actually D'Brick was 2nd. Jeff Backus had 17 sacks for the Lions. It's amazing Kitna isn't in traction by now with the beating he took.Originally posted by Patler-digital dean

I was impressed by Crosby in the Packers first game of the season against the Eagles. If you recall, he made the game-winning field goal with just seconds to go in the game!
How many rookie kickers in their first pro game would favorably perform with the kind of pressure that Crosby faced?
He has a bright future with the Packers, IMO.Comment

Fans loved Chester. I wish the best for Mason.Comment

Marcol did have a great rookie season. Unfortunately, he self-destructed in the following years. Hopefully, Crosby can keep his head on straight.Comment
