Default Gostkowski or Graham?

Is it Gostkowski's job again when he's back healthy (signed a 4-yr extension worth approx. $3 mil/yr last offseason)? Or will Graham get the chance to prove he should stay? Remember, he went 12/12 for us this year.

Grahm's kickoffs shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath with Gostowski's.

*long, drawn out sigh* Between the Superbowl and the looming CBA negotiations, it's gonna be a long wait for the draft to get here.

lol Yeah seriously. They were awful, I mean he needed like 15 MPH winds just to make it to the goal line.

I did like graham though, he seemed like a stand up guy and would always deliver. His kickoffs never really hurt the team though besides maybe the last playoff game against the Jets and he is probably the best person to perform onside kicks, I have ever seen. Even when he was with the Bengals, if he had better people with better hands, he could be like 5/5 in onside kicks, Patriots ALMOST came away with one also.

Sadly enough, Gostkowski is our guy. Above average kickoff's, great accuracy, and reliable. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever, if we could have a backup kicker, I would choose Graham in a heartbeat but sadly thats not the case.

Graham is to Gostkowski as Hoyer is to Brady.

I thought the reason a 12/12 placekicker was available as a mid-season replacement became pretty evident in our last game.

If any of Graham's family members post on here, they would probably vote for Gostkowski too.

Ghost got good K money and was a reasonably high draft pick. And he's got a longer leg.

Graham was an awesome pick up/stopgap but this is Ghost's job if he's healthy.

Very bad comparison.

I don't think the length of his leg matters
