    Yessssssssssss. We are finally going to have a really good team.

    Our offense just has improved big time and our defense was already bad ass.

    Now if we get Michael Huff and an OL in the 2nd round. This will be one of the greatest offseasons besides trading Herschel Walker and getting 3 picks which eventually brought the Cowboys, Aikman, Irvin and Emmitt.

    Most people don't realize just how much of an impact a placekicker has on a team. This move is huge! Cowboys just kicked themselves into the playoffs.

    Herschel Trade didn't yield Aikman or Irvin,and if I remember correctly it technically didn't yield Emmitt either. I think the trade got Alvin Harper, Erik Williams, Steve Walsh, and a bunch of late picks which Jimmy and his drafting genius took advantage of.

    The Cowboys will be better, but the NFC East is still very tough. The Seahawks will still have the inside track for the best record since they play in the NFC West.

    This was a major hole they filled today. I like this guy. Yes he is an idiot, but a darn good kicker. They still need a safety in my mind and one more in the O line. They still have the draft.

    Vanderjagt is a freakin choke! He will miss every crucial kick and totally fall apart. I hate this signing.

    No, but there's not much out there...

    Still waiting for Mare to be released by the Dolphins. Edinger, Cortez, Cundiff, ??? GB and the Pats are still looking for a kicker too...

    I don't see how anybody can worry about Vanderjagt when you look at what the Cowboys have been running out there to kick for the past 8+ yrs.

    I would of got Mare or Vanderjagt. Mare hasn't been released and don't really know if he is. Vanderjagt is the best option.

    todd peterson 23/25 last year and is a 12 year vet. cost less and he can't be any worse than vanderjagt in the clutch.

    Hmm, I haven't heard Peterson talked about as a possibility...

    Unfortunately for Vanderjagt, people are just remembering his last kick. He's still the most accurate kicker ever at 87%. Here are his stats vs Vinatieri, including stats for what Yahoo considers kicks when the game is "close" and "close/late"...

    Vanderjagt
    Indoors 87.6 (127/145)
    Outdoors 87.4 (90/103)

    Vinatieri
    Indoors 94.4 (34/36)
    Outdoors 80.4 (229/285)

    Vanderjagt
    Close 89.1 (90/101)
    Close/Late 89.5 (34/38)

    Vinatieri
    Close 80.0 (136/170)
    Close/Late 78.4 (29/37)

    He'll be fine...certainly better than the Cundiff / Cortez / Suisham (sp?) kicking combo from last season...

    His accuracy in clutch situation is actually statistically better than Adam Vinatieri's. The main thing people remember is Vanderjagt's miss in this years playoff game vs. the Steelers. Also people only remember Adam V's Superbowl game-winners.

    Historically, Vandy is a more accurate kicker overall and in the clutch.
