Only .500 percentage points behind Nate Kaeding. Of course, its just been two seasons but the sky's the limit for DC!

Was a terrific signing.

Yup. I never feel like he is going to miss. I often have the 3 points counted before he kicks. He has been money for us

He has only been in the league for two years hopfully he can end up #1 by the time his career is over

Guess they don't count playoff stats.

Didn't the phins even sign another kicker during the preseason? I don't even know why, DC is money.

 

[Fin Power]

Too early to use career stats.

This reminds me of the book enders game. Ender becomes top in the rankings after 1 game in which he does well.

Ender continues to dominate because he is awesome, and the case may be the same for Carpenter...But its to early to really make an argument.

Ronnie Brown probably has one of the best passer ratings in NFL history.....but what does that prove?

his kickoffs are a bit short for my taste. he needs to put a bit more leg on those. on FG's, i agree, he's money.

The best part---- Everything goes through the center, man is accurate!

However, how many has he attempted over 50yrds? 1-3?
If Our coaching staff weren't so conservative, he'd have more misses IMO

he's 2-3 from 50+ for his career

I remember when Orlindo Mare used to be the most accurate NFL kicker of all time.

teams always have 2 kickers in preseason.

I'm glad we got him, but 2 Sundays ago, sure wish he would have been kicking for SD instead.

Yeah, he's at Tampa now and ain't bad either.
