"you need a kicker, right?..pick me"...

ESPN Insider:

"But, Schefter tweeted, he's going to have to win the position battle against Brown to get all that money."

and via Insider via Football Outsiders:

"The Houston kicker battle is pretty simple. It shouldn't be a battle, it should be a doctor's appointment. Research has shown that field goal percentage is almost entirely random from year to year; it's idiocy to pick a kicker based on what his field goal percentage was the year before. On the other hand, kickoff distance is one of the most consistent skills in football. Rackers has been one of the top kickoff men in the league for years, except for last year. Because of health issues, he was below average for the first time in 2009. Brown is a little above average on kickoffs, and always has been. If the Texans feel Rackers is fully healthy, he should be the choice. If he still has injury issues, then Brown should be the choice." - Aaron Schatz

Technically since there are only two participants use of the superlative "best" in "best kicker" is incorrect. It should have read "better kicker," using the comparative form.

Don't forget he won the NFL's most handsome player contest a couple years ago.

Interesting take.

Either way, it feels good to only have to concentrate all of my mental energy on causing the spontaneous combustion of one guy with the last name Brown, instead of two.
