Yeah you're right. The key is to check him out and see if you can figure out what is the cause of becoming the 50/50 guy. If it's injury, and you think he'll be healthy soon, then it's probably a wise investment. If the injury may nag him, then maybe you stay away. Or if you interview him and he seems to be off the deep end, then maybe you stay away.
But my whole point is you'd have to be retarded not to at least give him a call, a tryout, and an interview. I mean we're calling, interviewing, and trying out lots of kickers who have barely ever kicked in the NFL. Why wouldn't we give Vandy the same look?
I'm not saying sign him right this second. But you have to take a look.
As for the dome argument, Gigity, it's not like Dallas is a real bad-weather or windy environment. He didn't exactly go from Indy to the Meadowlands. He's not missing kicks because of the venue. He's either hurt, not focusing or working hard, or just in a random cold streak.
