Why? Gost was the 5th best PAT Kicker last year and he kicked 20 more PATs than the 1st place guy and 26 more than the 2nd place guy. And BTW the 1st place guy and the 4th place guy play in a dome. So taking that into account Gost was probably better than 5th best PAT kicker last year.
As for FG. Gost missed 5 last year which made him 19th in the league in accuracy. Mid pack. Gost also attempted 32 FGs last year. Some of the numbers of attempts of the guys ahead of him last year:
20
16
20
21
16
And, 5 of the guys ahead of Gost last year played in a dome.
So while Gost was not spectacular with his FG % he was certainly decent and a mid pack guy taking into account the number of attempts he had and the fact he kicked outdoors and I think kicked all of his games outdoors last year expect for one.
He was excellent on PAT.
But you are right. Because some chicken little pink hats here were able to ascertain that Gost was not good last year (which only an idiot would say) and that they had the foresight to predict he was going to have issues this year (which seem to be injury related) BB should have looked at other options.
Please, dont give anyone here some sort of credit for doing their usual whining and then all of a sudden being right. If you whine about everything you are going to get one right eventually.
Also, try harder to be clever/funny.
