re: The truth about Garrett Hartley

He's far from the worst in that range. He's slightly below average, but he is above average in the 40s. Take some bad with the good. Most of the problem is his limited chances. He's low on the list for FG attempts per year.

And to give some perspective on good/bad:

Vanderjadt went 37 for 37 one year. Mr. Money Vinatieri was 80% one year. Carney went 35 for 38 2 years after we dumped him.

Kickers are streaky as hell because sometimes they don't get many chances. They've had guys go from near top to near bottom in consecutive years. Fact is 84.5% for your career is good. If he starts getting under 80% then we can talk about cutting him.
