I'm all-in on Evan (and yes, both misses were the closest to fluke you can get), but the notion that Crosby is a good kicker, is a blatantly-false one.

Indeed, he has been kicking for a long time, but he has never been a top kicker in the league:

- He is only 4 spots above Nuge' and 17 spots below Fat Randy, for career FG% (he sits at 47, if you're wondering) and for active players, is 25th.
- He's not clutch in the slightest and, according to this list (2015 it was published), Nuge' and PELFREY were more clutch than Crosby: https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2015/best-clutch-kicker-ever
- He kicks one of the ugliest balls I've ever seen and ugly balls typically don't make it through consistently, unless the kick is right down the middle.
- Most-egregious of all, he is ***74th*** in all-time XP%. That is deplorable. I know they moved back the XP line in 2015, but he has been consistently one of the worst XP kickers in the league.

It's one of the really confusing things in the whole league; he must be a great lockerroom guy or the GB brass really like him or something, because he's NEVER been one of the top kickers in any season; I think that can be attested as he's never made a PB or been AP, despite leading the league in points.
