Re: Is Hartley The Man?

If Santos from Tulane doesn't get drafted, I would bring him in as a UDFA.
He's use to kicking in the dome and didn't miss a kick last year which included several +50 but I would not draft a kicker. Too many other needs.

Re: Is Hartley The Man?

He's good enough. My thing on kickers is if the game is in their hands there's plenty of blame to go around for even being in that position. Case in point, Anderson was one of the greatest of all time yet we NEVER won a playoff game. Even if Hartley was 100% this past season it would not have mattered. We lost 7 game by more than 3 points. Almost half the games he had no impact.

He was great out of the gate, but NO, he has been a head case ever since..

Having a heavily-medicated emo headcase kicker with ADD on the team, who kicks like a girl, is one of those mad hatter Sean Payton CONCEPTS that will have to be revisited and reviewed, now that he is back in the office.

I'm over Hartley. He's done. It's time to move on and get the Tulane kicker.

I think Payton hasn't forgotten the huge mistake he made when he let Carney go. Ultimately he replaced Carney with Carney.

With few exceptions kickers become steady and reliable but not with the team that signed them initially.

Re: Is Hartley The Man?

So if he burned 3 late draft picks on a kicker would everyone be OK with that?
