I agree with Mike.

Mike Vandermause column: Green Bay Packers shouldn't give up on K Mason Crosby

I still agree with Mike.

Not really. I think it has a very fitting title for when it was made. He was never a bad kicker, but he wasn't all that great either. He has sure seemed to turn the corner though. I was very impressed yesterday.

He was never as bad as his stats--or as bad as people made him out to be. He kicked more in terrible conditions than other kickers and McStubby never turned down the opportunity to put him out there in iffy situations (long FGs, FGs in bad conditions). That's the argument I made at the time, and I think the argument was correct. He's gone from being a solid kicker to being a great kicker this year. I never understood why people wanted to run him out of town. His leg on kickoffs has always been above average (when they didn't decide to make him kick directionally), and he's perhaps the best onside kicker I've ever seen. His kicking stats were ordinary, but considering the circumstances they were at least acceptable. I get that he didn't appear to be a clutch kicker, but I never totally bought into that either. Sure, he was like 1 for 4 on game ending, game winning kicks--but he had made plenty of pressure kicks before. Kind of reminds me of the stat that the Packers don't win close games--judged by those games that are within four points or less.

The dude is undoubtedly going to miss a few big kicks this year as the weather turns to shit. Does he finally have a pass on some of those kicks or is it what have you done for me lately!

I completely agree with you. But he seems to have put it together around the same time the rest of the team did last year. No one I would rather have right now.

I was wondering when the Crosby threads were going to be resurrected. He's having a hell of a great season so far.

Didn't gbpackfan hate Rodgers too?

[channtheman]

I think that whoever was teaching Crosby to aim at the uprights either died or Crosby just stopped listening to him. Probably died.

[Tony Oday]

I definately have hate for Crosby and still think he will miss everytime he runs out there. That being said he is having a great year.

Isn't "hating your kicker" both normal and healthy?
