Garret Hartley Finally Employed
 
I know a lot of people here didn't like him, but I'll always like him for pulling us through in the 2009 playoffs to go on to the Superbowl. Hope he does well.

Super Bowl winning Kicker. Good for him.

He'll be fine as long as its not a chip shot in OT but I will say Tomlin won't be as forgiving as Payton

Maybe he just needed a break. Dude had a leg. He just let the game **** with his head. Couldn't make easy ones

Outdoors in the cold. That usually doesn't improve accuracy. But, I hope he has a perfect season and the Saints beat the Steelers in the Super Bowl.

I've heard from several people that he's a jerk.

erratic in the Dome and he's going to kick in a notoriously windy stadium?
I don't think he'll last long

Ive heard the same exact thing. He likes to tell random strangers in bars just who he is too just to make sure they know hes important.

Good for him. Hartley was always better on grass than on turf....think of those long, clutch kicks in the Super Bowl that kept us alive in the game, before the momentum turned. Good for him. People may be surprised. Off the top of my head I don't recall him ever missing a boneheaded kick on grass outdoors. If he did I have blocked it out, LOL. But the famous bonehead misses I remember were all pretty much indoors in perfect conditions.

Thankfully he peaked (although real early) at the right time for us.

2 for 2, with a 48 yarder

Good for him. We wouldn't have won the Super Bowl without him. You guys say you've heard he's a jerk... I've heard that pretty consistently about probably 25% of the players on our roster at any given time over the years. I'll be rooting for Hartley.

"Fallen hero. Living off the deeds of the past, gets one more chance to redeem himself."

Kinda how I feel about Sean Payton at this point.

He's no longer a Saint... so frankly I don't give a F...

ChrisXVI 08-15-2015 09:02 PM

Re: Garret Hartley Finally Employed
 
That's not fair to say vtiger72... Can you deny his importance to the history of the Saints just because he's not on the team anymore?

vtiger72 08-15-2015 09:11 PM

Re: Garret Hartley Finally Employed
 
I don't deny his importance, and when he retires I will think fondly of him. But, as far as his current employment or lack thereof, I don't care.

Why not? I mean, I know he's not on our team anymore but why wouldn't you still root for him?

Why not? I mean, I know he's not on our team anymore but why won't you root for him? Are you only capable of loving one kicker at a time?

Because I don't root for non Saints.

He pulled a hamstring yesterday

Steelers are in a pinch then, Hartley came in because Shaun Suisham
is out with an ACL.

The man set a Superbowl record and was a major contributor to our Superbowl win.
