Blake Grupe went 40 for 40 on PATs this past season. Only 2 other kickers were Perfect.

Eventually, there will be a time that the Saints Hall of Fame has inducted the entire 53 Man Roster (minus Darren Sharper) from the 2009 team and will need some more notable candidates.
I would like to note how impressive it was this past season that Blake Grupe was one of only three NFL Kickers that made all his PAT attempts (with a minimum of 30 tries).
A few more footnotes like that and I could see him in the a Saints Hall of Fame Class between 2043-2047.

Yet if just makes the game winner against packers, we would be in playoffs. Rather he misses some xps and the team got in.

81.1% is near bottom of the league. I hope he improves going forward.
Damn Butker is perfect from 40-60 on 12 of 12 kicks

Grupe will be a good kicker. Most if not all rookies have bumps in the road. Hell Morten Anderson was a career sub 80% FG kicker. (79.7%) and (77.6% for his 13 years in NOLA)
11 of his 25 year he averaged 78% or below kicking.
Took him 2 full season to crack the 80% mark.
He turned out to be a pretty good kicker.
The key is to not have to rely on you kicker to win as many games for you.
ETA: fwiw Grupe finished this rookie season at 81.1% FG percentage. Not great but 80% is everyone's threshold for field goal kickers it seems from earlier in the year.

Homey mentioned our little kicker and the Hall of Fame in the same post.Everytime he kicked, I held my breath.

I actually like grupe as a kicker and think he is fine.
When he connects on a kick it usually splits the uprights.
