I am ready to move on from Hartley

I'd have more confidence in Morestead kicking. Or hell, cut Hartley for an extra roster spot and go for two from here on out (kidding, sort of).

I am on board... NO kidding.

Cut Hartley and bring in a god like D-tackle that can both pressure the QB and "William fridge Perry" 2 points into the endzone.

If you are an insane mad scientist of football like Sean Payton is, sometimes you are a genius and sometimes your crazy laboratory experiments don't work out so well .... That's how I feel about Hartley right about now. I love the CONCEPT of Garrett Hartley on paper -- having a heavily-medicated emo headcase kicker with ADD on the team, who looks like a girl when he trots out there, and every kick is a wobbly mess but they somehow go through the uprights on a wing and a prayer and we win games flying by the seat of our pants -- if the CONCEPT would have worked, Hartley would have been awesome, one of those classic Sean Payton "things" only he comes up with, and we'd all be talking about how Sean Payton's a genius for finding him...we've had great success with plenty of Payton's other nutty professor "experiments" from out of left field, like Jimmy Graham, Marques Colston, Jedediah Collins, "Ambush," and Drew Brees' shoulder, but this kid we have kicking for us with the new wave hairdo ...I don't know if the concept is working out.

The difference is Sproles hasn't been missing clutch passes for his entire tenure here. Seriously, how can you even try and compare the two?

Ok, be pissed about the miss, but do you really think our D would have held GB out of FG range? I don't. Of course, anything is possible and at least they would have had the opportunity to try, but I think the outcome was inevitable.

btw, I was pretty impressed with the team yesterday. Not that they played great, but GB isn't a slouch team like KC and we went toe to toe with them and nearly took the win.

Everyone make mistake. You win as a team and you lose as a team. You should never have to depend on your kicker. Get the DAM JOB DONE>
