The most accurate field goal kicker in NFL history, Vanderjagt, who signed a three-year contract worth nearly $6 million as an unrestricted free agent this spring, has converted only 13 of 18 field goals.

Thirteen? I would have thought it was lower than that. His accuracy is atrocious.

Actually, he's very accurate, he can hit an upright from 40 yards every time.

Did you see him on Thanksgiving? He barely made that easy chip-shot FG ... then Romo joked with him on the way to the sideline and he was in no mood. He's clearly lost it.

I think it was also his short kickoffs that doomed him. Parcells doesn't want to have two kickers, so if Vanderjagt couldn't even kick off decently, he was of little use.

I like Romo.

Every time the camera catches him, he has a big smile on his face. He is having fun just being on the field (and not a bad season, now).
