For the old timers like me the NFL FG kickers today are just amazing? 50 yards is nothing now. go back to the Jim Bakken days over 45 was long now 50 is good by 10 yards

It's crazy how good kickers have gotten. Guys like Jan Stenerud were legendary kickers and they barely made half their kicks over 50 yards

Well, they are better, but they're also not kicking off mud or off the the infield dirt of a baseball diamond every other kick.
