Rackers banged out 86.8% his last two years in Houston and he has only missed 2 games in his last 6 years.

Rackers is 100 and 90 % on turf his last two years.

Hartleys best season was 81.8 and has only had 1 complete season in his career.

On Turf
Hartley is 81%, 64%, 77%, 80%

Hartley's accuracy is one thing, having to carry a second FG kicker for 4 of his 5 seasons is yet another.

There is no comparison of the two. All that is left is to see how he does in tryouts to know if he still has it.

Only thing I want to point out is look at a kickers stats from year to year and look at all the peaks and valleys. There are very few that stay consistent. Take Rackers for example, he's had years of being only 57% or 60% to having a year of 94%. Kickers are a strange breed.
