I don't know how many kickers have been here since Danny Boy bought this team, but I'll bet its more than 10 and probably it's close to 15. So none of them can be all that good.
Hall has been hurt a lot since he arrived at a pretty hefty price tag of his own. And without Hurricane Betty at his back, the next time Hall kicks one through the end zone, will be the first since he got here. Injured or not injured!
Chandler is a refugee from the SF 49ers who are just plain awful. What might that tell you?
Comparing either them to "the most accurate kicker in the history of the NFL", is just plain wrong.

SC,
You seem to be hedging your bets. On the one hand you say anyone who says our kicking game is solid is looking at the world through rose colored glasses and it's unfair to compare Hall to Vanderjerk. On the other hand, you say you don't think we should grab him.
And are you saying Hall hasn't had a touchback since Hurricaine Betty. I recall differently.
I know you like playing the wise cynic, but I think your standards are WAY too high for evaluating players. Hall had a damn rock solid year his first season here. He was injured this past season, but it's not like the guy is a waif-thin pencil-neck. He's HUGE.
And who compared him to Vanderjerk?
