My only problem with Vanderjagt...

I don't care if this guy is face down, drunk in the gutter,he's
still better in a stupor,than anything we've seen.

Are Cowboy fans EVER happy? LOL! We just got the most accurate FG kicker in NFL history and some fans STILL aren't happy! If e had this guy last year, we're in the playoffs. I am PSYCHED!

Vinatieri is only 8-17 from 50+ in his career. Vandy is 14-21 from 50+..... That's 20% better there.

Vinatieri was 79% outdoors last season. Vandy was 91%, including 100% from 40-49yds. Adam V. was 67% from 40-49yds outdoors.

Some thing else that's interesting is that Adam V. missed all 5 attempts from the left and right hash marks last year, but was perfect down the middle. He was also 15-20 when the game was tied or when the Pats were losing.

WOW.. That is very interesting and exciting. Thanks for posting that!

Yeah, I also found it funny when I checked out this thread. I knew MV's outdoor percentage was high.

When not indoors, the guy can barely get it their from over 40-45 yards out. Not aying there will be many kicks from farther than that, but if we ever need a 52 yarder to win, we are screwed. At least Cundiff or Cortez can get it there from 50.

we sign the most accurate in nfl history and people look for something to complain about.
he has been more accurate than adam outdoors
people tend to forget that adam missed a fg in the denver game this past season in the playoffs,and missed 2 against the panthers in the super bowl. adam has a great rep for being clutch, of course mostly because he has had the shots in the big games and most don't get that many shots. we complain about not having a kicker, then we get the most accurate in history and we complain. geez

MYTH: Vanderjagt's stats were inflated by playing in a dome.

FACT: Mike has made 127 of 145 field goal attempts (87.6%) indoors, and 90 of 103 attempts (87.4%) outdoors, for almost no distinguishable difference. He is 84.4% in windy weather, 100% below 40 degrees fahrenheit, and 100% with precipitation

Oh its the old perception versus reality thing.

People hav made up there minds and arent going to allow unarguable facts such as stats disprove them.
