Supply and demand. The supply is much more than the demand and we all know some kickers are "streaky". Jasper 28 - 34 , Hartley 18 - 22.

Hartley is the poster boy for "I hope he makes this kick"

As a fan base we got to witness two of the all time best. Eddie Murray and Morten Andersen. Doug Brien and Carney weren't bad either.

I think not. But there you go. All very well telling the positives of five of seven from beyond 50 yards, But whar were the curcumstances of the missed 7 from 49 below 50 yards?

Whatever. Bring the competition in and lets see if Hartley can cope.

2012 NFL most accurate kicker 94%
2011 .... 93%

But NFL kickers for the most part have 1/2 a season indoors and on turf...

Other than indoors, and field type kicking in college is the same as the NFL.. A foot, a ball, a holder and uprights.

Garrett Hartley

2012 -81%
2011 - injured
2010 - 80%
2009 - 81%

Hartley is a kicker that has only managed to play 16 game 1 season in his career.

Man, I wish we could have gotten the kicker from Tulane. I was really hoping we could land him in UDFA.

He stayed in school. He's a senior this year (2013-2014)

Since his injury? He was benched during the 2010 season and that was way before his injury. Plus, he botched a chip shot very badly against Tampa Bay in week 16 during the 2009 Super Bowl run, which could have potentially cost us the #1 seed that year. He's also been terrible after the injury and I have no idea why we started him over John Kasay, who was terrific during our 2011 season.
