70% was a good year.

70% was pretty average kicking performance for Westwood's era.  Paul Osbaldiston was career 72%, Mark McLoughlin 74%, Terry Baker 72%, Prefontaine 72%.  McCallum was a 70% kicker for the first decade of his career.

Something happened in 2006, suddenly the leading kickers were 80%+, and since 2011 we've had multiple 90%+ kickers every year.  This year, there were four, and Medlock just missed with 89.6%

It's amazing how much better kickers are now.  Maybe it's like goaltending, where the coaching suddenly got a lot better?

They started expecting them to do their job and stopped excusing their mistakes for being goofy.
