John Carney 168-203 (82.8%) 264/268 on PATs
Doug Brien 123-149 (82.6%) 144/145 on PATs
Morten Anderson 302/389 (77.6%) 412/418 on PATs

I agree I get a little uneasy seeing GH trot out on the field with the game on the line, but I have always felt that way about kickers in general.

Jose will provide some competition for Hartley, and that is probably a good thing, plus he mighe be a good plan B if Hartley ends up hurt again.

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.

Plus being maybe the only kicker in history to injure himself -badly- while kicking. I am so rooting for young Maltos!

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

Kickers are different from the rest of the players. Competition on the other side of the ball has zero bearing.

They are either good or they are not, they are either good out doors or not... Some decline with age.

Morten Anderson was between 70-85% his entire career. Same with Janikowski, and Matt Bryant, etc...

No, the other Gramatica broke his leg jumping up and down after making a kick.
