Phil Dawson: "The greatest kicker in Browns history"

Hey, Tony: How does Phil Dawson's field goal percentage compare to that of opposing kickers in Browns Stadium? -- Chadrick McNeal, Elida, Ohio

Hey, Chadrick: Your question would take a great deal of research to answer. I may pursue it because I suspect Dawson's percentage at home is a lot better than opposing kickers. I liken Dawson to Matt Bahr, who had better numbers in the kicker's graveyard known as Municipal Stadium than on the road. I know it's heresy, but Dawson in my opinion is the greatest kicker in Browns history. Kickers are bigger, stronger and more accurate than at any time in NFL history.
