welcome aboard

do some cursory research, we have enough useless threads much less suggesting guys not avaialble

similarly, how many kickers are ever drafted at all? Look it up. LIKE HERE Usually a couple a year. ya gotta be pretty overwhelming and the team has to have a pretty big hole to get drafted at all.

Lastly, " guy is a questionable kicker, not impressed at all " isn't much of a case to make against Hartley. Try harder. I'd point out in response that Hartley is #8 alltime in FG conversion %. That's better than Matt Bryant, Connor Barth, Gostkowski, Vinatieri, etc. For his career he is 12 of 14 40-49yds and 5 of 7 from 50+yds. Not impressive enough for you?

he has a career 86% from under 40 yards. Personally, I'm more worried about those "easy" kicks he should be making that have costed us games. for comparison sake:
matt bryant has a 92.6% from under 40
connor barth has a 92.9%
gostkowski has a 90.5%
vinatieri has a 89.9%
janikowski has a 94.1%
jay feely has a 90.3%
akers has a 93.2%
kasay has a 93.7%
carney has a 90.8%

I'm glad he can make a good bit of those longer kicks because those are harder, but correct me if I'm wrong in saying those "easy" kicks have caused us to get more "L" in the column than those long kicks have given us a "W".
