Now that's what I'm talkin' about! Get rid of him before he costs the team an important game! "Idiot kicker"!

[quote=Sheriff Gonna Getcha;251703]Should we sign him? He might be a turd, but he's going to be better than Novak, who is making less than 50% of his FG attempts.

Sure. I'm always in favor of signing Dallas rejects.:nono:

the redskins are 4-7. is there really such a thing as an important kick?

Re: Cowboys Release Vanderjagt
 

Signing him would be a move just like every other move that Dan Snyder gets criticized for. Big name... ignore the negatives. This guy got tossed off two teams and it wasn't because of non-production or "a slump". It was because he has a big mouth.

Re: Cowboys Release Vanderjagt
 

Vandy brings baggage with him, the LAST thing we need is a kicker with baggage. If we were realistically in the playoff hunt i'd say sign him, but now that we are all but out of it, I'd say don't waste more money on a drama queen kicker, especially one from DALLAS

Is It Really That Hard To Find A Guy That Can Kick The Ball Past The 20 Yard Line????????? Cause Our Last 5 Kickers Couldnt Even Do That, Forget Field Goal Accuracy

Re: Cowboys Release Vanderjagt
 

[quote=BrunellMVP?;251723]I think we need to sign him...he'll come on the cheap...prob want to get back at the boys (but might not want to play for a 4-7 team)..but might not have a choice...

novack- god bless his UMD soul- ain't cuttin it.[/quote]novak did beat dallas :cheers , even if it was torture:rofl: leading up to the winning kick:woot:

Re: Cowboys Release Vanderjagt
 

what has vandy done that was so wrong? got fucked up and said something he shouldnt have said,who here hasnt done that? has he said anything since then? did he say anything bad in dallas? give the guy a break

Re: Cowboys Release Vanderjagt
 

What has he done wrong? he's missed many big kicks for the cowboys, he TALKS to the media, it should be a rule that a kicker is not allowed to even speak to the media. He pouts on the sideline, how can you like him?

Re: Cowboys Release Vanderjagt
 

Alright then, for the anti-Vandy guys no complaining when Novak continues on his 50/50 tear.

Re: Cowboys Release Vanderjagt
 

I agree Novak is crap, but I'd rather find someone other than Vandy

What's behind door number 3?

Re: Cowboys Release Vanderjagt
 

lets say you have a chance to get montana,elway,b sanders,pick a player who was ranked as one of the all time best at his position,they have 5 or 6 yrs left in their career,they were injured at the start of the yr and now their having an off yr,but still better than the player youve had at that position for years,you can probably sign player for a good price,plus the player would probably want to come back strong to shove it in your main rivals face,is that the kind of player you want to pass on?

this analogy sucks, because kickers tend to decline all at once. and vanderjagt is 36 years old, and i doubt he stays in this league into his forties

Re: Cowboys Release Vanderjagt
 

just one thought on this...what the hell were parcells and jones thinking with this bone headed move?

Re: Cowboys Release Vanderjagt
 

Has he signed anywhere yet?

I disagree,I agree with Thomas Boswell of the Washington Post,who says

"Just wait and see. Vanderjagt will be the free agent -- and a comparatively cheap one -- who got away. Somebody will sign him, this season or next. And he'll be a big success again. The history of NFL kickers over the last 25 years says that he'll probably have multiple excellent seasons ahead of him, with five to 10 more productive years.

Who says so? Morten Andersen, Gary Anderson, Matt Bahr, John Carney, Steve Christie, Al Del Greco, Nick Lowery and Eddie Murray, among others. All of them switched teams after 11 to 14 highly successful seasons in the NFL. All were close to Vanderjagt's age, if not older. All were gold to the teams that grabbed them. Andersen and Anderson, who each have more than 500 field goals, switched teams after 13 years in the league, yet played for at least 10 more years. That's t-e-n more years. Andersen has come out of retirement again this year. The list is endless. Pete Stoyanovich left Miami after seven years, then made 70 of 83 field goals in his first three years in K.C.

Once a fine kicker, always a fine kicker -- albeit with interludes of bad mechanics or lost confidence -- until he's too old to swing his leg. Kickers are like vampires. You have to drive a stake through their hearts to get rid of them once and for all."

i definitely do not think novak is the answer. but as long as coach gibbs is running the show, these kind of mouthy players will not be coming to washington
