is Stephn Gostkowski's consecutive extra points now an untouchable record?

423 straight and counting

but with the extra point attempt moved back, is that record unbreakable?

423 consecutive and counting 30+ yard FG's? I think it may be

absolutely unbreakable records IMHO

Cy Young's 511 career wins (25 twenty win seasons, and that's still not enough)

Cal Ripkin's 2,632 consecutive games played (16+ seasons without missing a game)

Brett Farve's 322 consecutive starts at QB (20 seasons without missing a start)


many other records are crazy, but plausible most can be broken, plausible.

Yea it's unbreakable .

It was almost unbreakable even before the rule change.

Even having that many snap and holds without a fumble is amazing .

I do have a theory that teams are going to start rostering extra point specialist that does nothing but kick extra points if these percentages keep coming down

Yeah those are all NEVER going to be broken. Gostkowski's will stand as long as the line of scrimmage stays backed up for extra points. If they move it back it "could" be broken but still doubtful.

Cy Young's is easily the most out of reach to me. The way that pitchers are treated like fine china today ensures that you'll NEVER see anyone even come close to that record. Not unless they find the fountain of youth and you get guys playing until they're like 50+.

CY also pitched over 825 games, that's why he has 500+ wins

I think alot of people if they wanted to could break Ripken's record. But no one really cares about it. Isn't just having 1 at bit as a pitch hitter count as playing.

Manning could have broken Favre's record if not for 1 season. Plus eventually they will be playing 18 games and qb's are not hit the same way they once were.
