Wow. At this rate, Chad, Carson, Shayne, and Deltha all go!

I voted for Rackers. Greatest season ever by a kicker.

I think he could certainly be on pace for such a season, but as of now I think that distinction has to go to Mike Vanderjact's 40/40 season in 2003.

Well, Rackers has had fewer chip shots on average than Vanderjagt. In 2003, a total of 1 of Vanderjagt's field goals were 50+ yarders. So far this year, Rackers is 5-5 from 50+. For that matter, in 2003, Vanderjagt hit only 13 from 40+. Rackers is already at 14 from 40+.

Oh, and in 2003, Vanderjagt only had 37/37 field goals for the season, not 40/40 according to Elias Stats Bureau (the official stats of the NFL).

Yes, that is correct. I believe I was thinking of his overall streak of consecutive field goals converted. That may have even been 41.

Rackers is a monster. He will be in the pro bowl this year.

As for Graham getting the most votes for the AFC, thats stupid, but not as stupid as Steve Smith being behind Santana Moss in voting.

not really moss took off early, and ha since slowed down, while smith has bloomed in the past 3-4 weeks.

People are just now voting for smith, while moss is riding votes from earlier in the season, I presume.

As much as I would LOVE for Shayne to go, I do not think he should be top candidate from this seasons performance so far. Shayne is doing reasonably well, but it's not some of the other kickers fault they haven't had as many chances to score points. If Shayne picks it up and has any game winners, I think it would be ok for AFC. Rackers BETTER get it for NFC. Hands down. And Adam V better NOT get it for AFC. He hasn't deserved it this year. I think Vandy, or ...I don't know, I'll have to look, but there are other kickers having a good year.

Sorry I forgot about Shayne. I guess he can blame it on the success of our offense! He doesn't get enough kicks!

I think you misundstand me. Shayne is a leading scorer because he gets more kicks than many kickers. I'm saying there are other kickers in AFC doing well, but aren't getting attention because they don't have enough points.
