Guess Parcells means business, and he wants to make the playoffs. Vanderjagt was a terrible pickup for the Cowboys, and taking the salary cap hit to get rid of him was more than worth it.

I still can't believe they're taking that hit. Jerry Jones is usually more stubborn that that. They never should have paid that much for Vanderjerk in the first place, but do they really think that Gramatica is going to be an upgrade? When was the last time anyone even saw him ATTEMPT a field goal?

He cannot be much worse. Vanderjagt has been horrible this season. i know for a fact as a Cowboys fan I have cursed him almost every game this season.

Oh, he could be much worse. Vanderjagt may have only made 13 of 18, and he may have missed some pretty short field goals, but he's only cost us one game. And that was because one was blocked, and subsequently run back because of sloppy, lazy play by all the other Cowboys on the field. Remember Jose Cortez last year? And Billy Cundiff after that? Between those two, missed field goals cost the Cowboys three games. Three games. In a 9-7 season, that's the difference between going to the playoffs and not. Vanderjagt may have been bad, but he hasn't cost us the season like our kickers did last year.


Yeah, it can be worse.

Oops, Vanderjagt MADE 13 of 18 kicks; I misread the statistic. My bad.

Actually Novack is that bad. yeah Vanderjagt could be worse, but why risk it? Parcells has not been happy with him or his worth ethic since Vandy arrived in Dallas.

Also Gibbs admitted today (11/27/06) that he would be trying out new kickers just in case.
