re: Grade the starters through 5 games

That makes absolutely zero sense. One was from beyond 50. To say that any 50+ yard FG "should have been made", is fricking ludicrous. For starters, use a little of those math and science skills that anyone who calls himself an Alabama fan should have and grasp the fact that as you go farther back, the kicker's target gets smaller and smaller and his margin of error gets less and less. And let's not forget that it was a windy day.

Sue me, so one of them were 51 yards. Doesn't take away from the fact that he should have made it. You're making it seem like a 51 yard field goal is some feat never done before. The 46 yarder he didn't even angle it toward the uprights. Ole Miss kicker had no problem wit his 46 yarder one drive earlier though.

Another thing you did not note is he has missed three in a row.

Do you expect every pass to be on the money? You expect perfection, and perfection isn't gonna happen. The facts are that the total production from Griffith has been very good.

I expect him to make the kicks that matter. No differently than I expect other players to make the plays that matter.

All he does is kick. Stop coping pleas for this guy. It's like I'm witnessing Cade Foster2 here.

He plays poorly -> people make excuses -> he scores meaningless FG's -> people say I told you so -> He yet again misses important field goals -> I say I told you so.
