I did Chuck. But it leaves off at #6 and then lists the bests places to kick. What if NY and SF are #7 and #8? Would that make a difference? So this info is incomplete for anyone's purposes because we don't know where NY and SF rank and I really don't care. SF is a hybrid surface much like GB and Denver have. MetLife is artificial. Where are any stats that prove all PKs who kick on turf are more accurate than those who kick on natural grass, or hybrid surfaces?NY and Chicago are northern teams and while SF is more temperate at the extremes there are many days when it's colder, wetter, and windier than Chicago especially in the fall when storms coming rolling in. So again it's mostly conjecture. PKs can adjust to their conditions or at least good one can. Robbie has and Barth has not. Even at Soldier Field Gould has been more accurate. End of story.
But all of this mean jack shit when you look at the respective stats of the two. Robbie is still the better PK and he established that much even BEFORE he left Chicago. What team or teams is Connor Barth the all time leading scorer for?
So.....while you all are busy trying to excuse us for once again letting a productive scorer leave while getting zilch in return I'm not. And at my house my fact based opinions count more than the rest of yours so we'll just agree to disagree and leave it at that. OK?
But.....the FACT is most of Robbie's career has been in Chicago and it's there where he carved out a better record than Barth anyway. Robbie is 85.4% on FGs and 99% on XP kicking in Soldier Field. Barth is 74.% on FGs and 98% on XP. So XP is a wash but FGs are not. Robbie was far better in Chicago than Barth has been.
Even his career stats are higher and Barth spent half of his career kicking in the Florida sunshine at Tampa Bay. How much lower would his career average be if he'd spent his entire career in Chicago?
No matter what anyone comes up with the only thing anyone can say about Barth is that he was cheaper but then most of the time ya' get what ya' pay for and we did. Now both are ex-Bears so I'm over it. If you want to talk let's talk about Santos. He's a current Bear.
