Hartley or Kasay?

TheGambler · 08-04-2012, 09:13 PM

Some of the pro-Hartley reasons I'm seeing remind me of the reasons why many people (myself included, I must admit) stayed on the Aaron Brooks bandwagon way too long. "But Brooks looks unstoppable sometimes, and he gave us our first playoff win". Same with Hartley...."he has a strong leg and took us to our first and only Super Bowl". Eventually there comes a point where you have to say "thanks for the highlight reel memories" and move forward.

Thank you. He made some historical kicks... Would Kasay have missed them?
He also missed some kicks that would have made life easier.. (Atlanta).. Would Kasay have made them?

As far as for his age

Anderson - 25 seasons kicked until he was 47 years old
Kasay- 21 Seasons he is 42 years old

Kasay still has 4 in the tank.

So Hartley is:
Unreliable as a kicker
Can not play an entire season (averages 6.75 games a season)

How about this one... Because he cant seem to play an entire season he is TOO EXPENSIVE.. We have to have two kickers because of his in-dependability.

Loyal to a fault is a real occurrence.

If I had to guess, they'll probably go with Hartley over Kasay if the competition is dead-even, with the mindset that they can always bring Kasay back if Hartley starts to suck. I'm ready to see Hartley move on, personally, but I'll keep an open mind for now.
