When a player at any position that you carry 1 on the roster at has only played a full season 1 year out of 5, its time to get another. I dont care if he is 100% on FGs, if he can only play 8 games in a season your fkd the other 8 games. We have had to carry an extra kicker or a kicker other than Hartley all but one of his seasons. Just going off of Hartleys accuracy stat is comparable to giving a BU QB the title of most accurate when he only throws 15 passes a season.

If you take the season he was 100% which needs to be asterisked because he was on medication that he was later suspended for he is 81.2% which knocked him out of the top 4 kickers the Saints have had.

I hope he turns out to be the real deal. I thank Garrett Hartley for helping us win a Super Bowl but the following year, his horrible miss against Atlanta kept us from the number one seed. And he has blown several makeable field goals like the one against KC last year, which allowed them to come back and beat us.

Will this guy be the best kicker in the NFL if he starts? Or down the road?
