Re: Rate the Patriots Offensive Starters From Top to Bottom
 

What is it with the Gostkowski ratings? The guy is in the top three for KO distance and, while he is tied for 12th in FG%, much of that is due to his low number of attempts. (eg. on missed kick is the difference between 12th and 4th since he has attempted the second least FGs in the league amongst full-time kickers). I thought he proved himself in last year's playoff when he made every attempt including a 50+ yarder and one with a minute left in a 3 point win over SD and a late one to take a 3 point lead against Indy.

There is no way he should be considered any less than 7/10, but I think it is closer to 8/10. And ranking Hanson and Gost equally? :eek:

I did a copy and paste from another post and forgot to edit the kickers. SG is a 7 or 8.
