Hartley will be back next year, and I'm looking forward to it.

People hate him because he missed some important kicks last season, funny how people remember his missed kicks, but not the ones he nailed during our Super Bowl run, you know, those kicks that will probably go down as some of the most important kicks in New Orleans Saints history.

We remember the good kicks. But that 28 yarder he missed was unforgivable. Those good kicks may go down as some of the most important kicks in New Orleans Saints history, but to will that 28 yarder against Atlanta.

Had it been a 52 or even a 45 and people would not harp on it so much. But a 28 yard kick that ended up being the difference between defeat in the first round in Seattle and a 1st round bye and a lot of dreams and what ifs that could easily have been another trip to the Super Bowl...

No, sorry, we can't forget that.

Hartley is a little injury prone but he is the future and holds a Superbowl record for kicks over 40 yds.
