Why can't we have one of these?

The most perfect circumstances a professional kicker could ever ask for, at normal yardage... Its inexcusable.

We are not expecting perfection, we are expecting 3 points when the conditions are perfect.

Perhaps we should have spent 2 draft picks on a kicker instead of a punter.

Funny, I was looking for this because we know you love the punter, haha.
I would love to have a field goal kicker as good as Morestead is a punter however.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

I'd much rather have a mediocre punter and a great kicker than a great punter and mediocre kicker.

I can definitely see us spending a pick on a kicker next year. Or maybe sign a stud free-agent kicker?

Wonder if we shouldn't sign a Rockette while in New York?!?

Fellas, f'Hartley is the schmuck that missed the field goal...

Off with his foot!!!

sHartley has seen his last season as a Saint. I can see them bringing in another kicker soon, and replacing him next year.

The Mexican dude we had in camp has to be better than Suckalicious.

The problem behind this, is that we had to cut someone and activate Ryan Griffin from the practice squad to keep the Rams from getting him. Which takes up a roster spot, that we would normally be able to use on carrying a third temporary kicker, which is exactly what they've done in the past, when Harley has his emo hissy fits or hits slumps, they carry three ridiculous kickers on the roster with Hartley inactive for a spell. If they cut Hartley right now, he's gone to another team instantly, and won't come back, which would really suck if the new guy doesn't work out either. We could theoretically end up paying Hartley to kick against us, for another team, if we cut him and still owe him his salary. If we had that free roster spot and Griffin on the PS, I have no doubt we would be carrying a second place kicker from somewhere for a game or two or three. It's messed up all around.
