After this last weekend Gostkowski nailed 4 straight 30 yard attempts; are the beginning of the year skeptics now willing to say he is a 'reliable' kicker?
Not saying pro-bowler; not saying HOF clutch kicker (but I will give season # comparison just for argument's sake below.) But can he be considered reliable?; and at the price we are paying for him as a rookie - a good investment? Especially considering the 52 yarder he hit that AV hasn't had the leg for in years.
81% is not anything to crow about; but if you throw out the 2 blocks he is pushing 90%. And he hasn't been AWOL on the IR at all during the year.
Gost: 81% on year - 17 of 21
1-19: 0-0
20-29: 8-9 (1 block)
30-39: 7-9 (1 block)
40-49: 1-2
50+: 1-1
AV 87% on year 20 of 23
1-19: 1-1
20-29: 3-3
30-39: 9-10
40-49: 7-8
50+ 0-1
