Multiple Choice Poll. Voters: 42. You may not vote on this poll
Personally, I'm about 95% convinced that Gostkowski will stick, and I wouldn't at all be surprised if they both stay, at least initially.

Well I voted for Gramatica. I wanted to vote for them both but we have some impressive guys out there like LeKevin Smith, Pierre Woods, Mincey, who are going to earn roster spots and even with just 2 QB I don't see cutting a Woods to keep a second kicker. Gostowski is going to have to prove to be accurate and yesterday wasn't a good start (I'm talking down the middle accurate not hugging the goalpost accurate). Right now I say they cut him and hope to get him on the P.S.
One will go to practice squad, the other will dress. If they are equal on the field, I think Gramatica will stay becaust it would be easier to hide Gostowski on the Practice squad, right? Not my idea, but I overheard someone else saying it last night.

I am not sure how you hide a fourth round pick on the practice squad. Then again he is a kicker, but a very costly one at that because of his draft position. I think they both stay, there will be a few planned IR's coming and we will see how it goes with tht PUP and the PS.
I voted for both. Gost being the kick-off specialist ( letting him mature a year or two in the NFL before putting the pressure on him) and Gramatica kicking the FG's.

If you don't keep Gost, then you run the risk of losing the your fourth round pick to waivers when you set up the practice squad. Chances are Gramatica would clear waivers, as no one else would pick him up. (He sat all last year, and no one was banging on his door).
Send Gramatica home, if Gost faulters, you can re-sign him. If we keep Gramatica, I don't think Gost will be there to grab if Gramatica goes south.
Alot of you are pretty quick to judge a guy by 1 field goal that was off center. 3 points is 3 p points. He made the kick.
Keep Grammatica this year and maybe next year we could sign someone else-it all depends-but Gostkowski lacks experience and accuracy but he could develop to be one of the best. dunno.
Im more concerned with TD's than FG's.

Let me do PATSNUTme's job for him: Gramática cannot be placed on the practice squad. So either he makes the team or he goes home. In theory, Gostkowski could be put on--but the question then arises of if any other teams think they need a better kicker than the one they've got.

Well, seeing as he one chance Friday night was his first chance ever, it's just as likely the problem was nerves as accuracy. [If he had missed, that'd be another matter altogether, but a dead duck that clears the goalposts is worth just as much as a line drive down the middle.]
