Mare? Really?  He's the ALL-TIME leading scorer for the Miami Dolphins with over 1,000 points.  He had a 80.9% accuracy rate on 303 attempts, yet you want to fault him for a handful of misses?

Likewise Stoyanovich had a 79.3% accuracy on 222 FG attempts.  What kicks did he miss against the Patriots.

See my other thread. It wasn’t just the misses, it was the timing of them.

You're just as wrong in the other thread as you are in this one.

That means I'm not wrong at all.  TA DA!!!!!!!

This thread doesn't really make sense.

Kickers are a dime a dozen, so if you're not good, you're off the team after a year or whatever.  Whoever was really bad, we don't even know; we just moved on to the next guy.  How good these guys are is almost directly tied to longevity.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Caleb Sturgis here yet - he'd be at the top of my list.

It's not that simple.

I am looking at the effect they had on our teams.

We had a slew of kickers who weren't anything special in 2004 (Bryant, Gramatica), but that team wasn't good enough for them to have an effect.

Mare was on THREE playoff-quality teams, (2002, 2003, and 2005) and had chances where his kicks could have made the difference in each of those seasons.

Then, in 2006, he missed ten field goals.
