He's still riding on thw 09 season. He sucks and has sucked ever since

LOGIC ATTACK:

2008 - 8 games 13/13 100%
2009 - 5 games 9/11 81.8%
2010 - 14 games 20/25 80%
2011 - John Kasey
2012 - 16 games 18/22 81.8%
2013 - 8 games so far 16/21 76.2%

Yes his numbers are lower, but we're only half way through the season. If he goes 5/5 the rest of the season he will have kicked more field goals than any other year in his career and still be over 80%.

He shouldn't be fired. Bring someone else in for competition, maybe. If he's cheap and likes the practice squad, but Hartley isnt a bad kicker by any stretch of the imagination.

It's so strange to me that he almost seems automatic from really far distances, but anything inside 35 and I'm nervous he will miss it.

As for this, career wise:
0- 29 yrds - 28/30 93.3%
30 - 39 yrds - 24/30 80%
40 - 49 yrds - 18/24 75%
50+ yrds - 6/8 75%

Most of his fieldgoals are 0-40 yrds and he is solid at that distance.

His numbers drop off after 40, but thats to be expected with kickers.
