Default AV Replacement

The moment of truth regarding AV may occur this weekend .

If AV signs with Green Bay, there is one viable replacement

still available. I'm sure most Pats fans and forum members will throw

up their morning breakfast at the mention of his name, Mike

Vanderjagt. He is not the clutch kicker AV is but he has

the highest field goal percentage in the NFL year after year.

They can try for Josh brown and see if Seahawks will match their offer.

Olindo Mare is on the verge of being cut in Miami.

I think you answered your own question. I'd look at O.Mare and J. Brown and Vanderjagt would be way,way down my list... He may be accurate in the first and second quarters BUT it's clutch time that counts and he was WAY off when it counted.....Combine that with his propensity to shoot his mouth off (I know it's Peyton but he should 'try to be a good teammate') makes me want to say ,"no thanks".
Just my $0.02,

Certainly far from clutch as we've witnessed first hand. And while it's true about his field goal percentage, keep in mind this guy has played no less than 9 games a season in a dome. Given his well documented mental issues, is he really the guy you want on the field when the big game is on the line?

Can't imagine Rodney would enjoy his presence in the locker room...

It seems that all the "good" potential replacements for positions the Pats need to fill come with serious character issues... MeShawn, TO, Vanderjerk, etc.

Because he kicks in a dome!!!!!!!

It isn't near the same thing!

And he not only isn't clutch, he is awful under presure! Even in the dome!

I'll cry if they sign Vanderjagt, I hate the guy. He's a jerk with an overly-high opinion of himself.

If Adam does sign elsewhere I would like them to sign Todd Peterson.

Ditto. He was able to kick in Kansas City, which has some nasty wind conditions. Doug Brien will also be available. He struggled a bit last year, but has had a solid enough career that perhaps that was an aberration due to his injury.
