How has Hunter Smith done the last 3 years in this category?

2008 - 11th in the league.
2007 - 37th in the league.
2006 - 30th in the league.

That doesn't exactly convince me our punting woes are over.

Wow, 37th in the league? Last time I checked, there were 32 teams. So either you're stats are wrong, or he had worse stats than back up kickers.

Seriously though, he's a good punter whose certainly well rested, because he never had to punt with Peyton Manning at the helm.
