It's really because he was the last kicker that stuck around for any real length of time. BTW I think kickers have gotten more accurate over the years so comparing FG %s from then to now is sorta apples and oranges.
Not only that but a lot of kickers are attempting field goals beyond 50 yards more. Jan Stenerud was probably the greatest of all time. He could have easily booted FGs beyong fifty yards in this era. Forbath may actually make it to the HOF if he keeps on pace at the level he's kicking at.

Punter Steve Cox once kicked a 57 yarder back in 1987. That FG was a team record before Graham Gano booted a 59 yarder last season to break the record.
Never understood why so many people liked Lohmiller. He wasnt very good at kicking FG's. I get the monday night game against the Cowboys, but it was one game. Imo, the remembering of that one game makes skins fans think he was like that his entire career, and thats flat out wrong. He set a record that game, had a game winner later that same year, and not much else.
His FG % in his time in Washington...
20-29 yds - 93.5%
30-39 yds - 76.5%
40-49 yds - 54.5%
50+ yds - 36%
If it wasnt for the second round pick that was used to draft him, they would have kicked him to the curb a lot sooner. Kai is nothing like Lohmiller, Kai actually makes his FG's.
Hmmm.....I do actually remember him....better.
You're NOT going to....Mean mouth Mark Moseley are you?
