He might be fine and he might not. I think that he will be fine, but you never know for certain with kickers. Could be an injury, could be off the field issues, could be any number of things and then they go into a deep slump.

Legatron could outkick them every Saturday and then the sunday after. If anything I could maybe give craddock a bit more accuracy. The other kicker Aguayo is I think a year younger than Lunsford.
As pointed out by bluejacket, the measures are called statistics. You should look at them sometime.
Well the reason I asked him for those "measures" was because I didnt have the time to look them up or I would have, but I figured someone else might, which he did. If thats ok with you

No problem other than the fact that you were clearly dismissing the best two kickers in the country in favor of "Legatron" without presenting any evidence to support your position.

Not to mention that just comes off as lazy and unpolished, especially from someone with your apparent prior experience

2014 stats
John Lunsford (Jr./12 games)
FGM 19 FGA 24 (79.2%)
XPM 43 XPA 44 (97.7%)

Josh Lambert (So./12 games)
FGM 27 FGA 36 (75%)
XPM 41 XPA 41 (100%)

Roberto Aguayo (So./13 games)
FGM 25 FGA 27 (92.6%)
XPM 53 XPA 53 (100%)

Brad Craddock (Jr./12 games)
FGM 18 FGA 19 (94.7%)
XPM 41 XPA 41 (100%)

Career FG Percentages

Lunsford 62.6%
Lambert 74.45%
Aguayo 94.05%
Craddock 80.04%

That is why I take Lunsford over Lambert; he had a better year this year. Aguayo is #1 and should have won the Groza two seasons in a row. Craddock had a better season than Lunsford as well. If a kicker is hot right now, you take him over the others right now. Next season, Lunsford could be better than Craddock or he could go back to kicking 42.1% for the season like he did in 2013....
Aguayo misses the long one ending the half at the Rose Bowl!

I'm not expecting everyone to be knowledgable on kickers but Lambert had many 40+ attempts this year.

Kickers earn their money between the 10 and 30 yard lines the way I see it. If you can hit from outside 40 that's awesome, but if you struggle in what I call the "kicker's red zone", you're not gonna last too long at the next level.

All of these kickers had plenty of attempts from 40+.
