A Poll of 2 Kickers....

PrintStover has been impressive, but Vinateri has proven to be clutch. Personally, I think Stover has been extremely consistent thus far, yet, he hasn't had to make any extremely pressuring kicks. Adam has missed a few very makable kicks, yet he seems to deliver everytime it matter.
Lets debate what the Colts should/will do? Maybe keep 2 kickers (that takes up a roster spot), but they could be situational kickers...odd, I know, but hey, we have Reggie Wayne and Joe Addai throwing passes! :)

tough
Both have NFL caliber accuracy, I don’t believe in clutch, Vinny has better range, but is it worth paying an extra 2 million for the ability to extend your FG range 10ish yards.
Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.

Agreed. I’m kind of shocked we both feel the same way on this issue.
I did this a few times at that dump of a site I used to write for so I figured, hell, why not try it out over at Stampede Blue you know? At least this time someone will actually be reading it.

You do realize...
Matt Stover is known for clutchness too… Vinny is just slightly better known because of SB winning kicks, etc.
Oh no!
I am well aware...
However, no one is as clutch as Vinny…not only the Superbowl, but how about the ice-game with those darn Patsies, and most impressively, the 5 field goals against the Ravens in the playoffs of our Superbowl run.
I voted for Stover because,
I’m a little worried about Nougatieri getting his groove back after surgery.

Agreed
Happy with Stover and only happy with Nougatieri if he’s healed and in a groove—don’t want to risk him missing important kicks just to find out he has a “hitch in his giddayup.”
Though the REAL measure of which kicker we should go forward with this year is who throws the best pass. Either one has to be better then Reggie.
I hate Joe Namath. That's how long I've been a Colts fan.
I could be better than Reggie.

I find it funny
that the Ravens are looking for a kicker….you think they are kicking themselves for letting Stover go? haha suckers!

It's too bad Adam won't be there to deliver another spanking on Sunday!

Excellent.
Who remembers our INCREDIBLY CHEAP roughing the kicker personal foul a couple years back… I am thinking against SD? the kicker missed a FG and one of our guys, who was his college teammate like a year before, went up to him and patted him on top of the helmet… FLAG!
Holy crap did that incense me.
I hate Joe Namath. That's how long I've been a Colts fan.
tss tss bob sanders it brought tears to my eyes when he did that
fukin refs tho they can let a guy touch some one anymore on the helmet cuz they think somes ones gonna get shot

Indy Lori, If I may further elaborate...
as one who got Rick Rolled, I think the particular (and particularly grating) video linked to is impossible to close. Your cursor over the “escape box” makes the whole vid screen move to another location, over and over and over again. You chase it around a couple times feeling like a moron. (at least I did)
When it happened to me I just closed down my browser.
To summarize:
1) Being duped into going to a site you don’t want to visit = bad
2) Being duped into going to a site that makes you want to claw your ears and eyes out, plus you cannot close it out = you’ve been Rick Rolled

Oh,
I think that one was the special one I found. That one’s a lot of fun.

Oh, now I get it.
What would I be without this site? Totally uninformed. Clueless, out of it. etc. etc.

I dont believe in this clutch stuff
Adam could of easily missed that kick in the snow, theres a bit of luck involved in it, as he cant judge exactly what power and aim to put into it, so when he makes this great kick once, he could easily miss it everytime if he redid it another 10 times.
Get someone with a decent leg, plus im sick of having kickers who cant kick from behind the 30 yard line on madden :P
has everyone forgot thant clutch vinny never came to the colts that guy stayed in new gayland, what did we get a sometimes alrigt loser who misses 25 yards cheap shots against the chargers
only games thall ill ever thank him for is the ones that he played on the 2006 playoffs no more no less

kicker comparison
I think Adam Vinateri can kick longer field goals. But Matt Stover has better field goal percentages than Adam. With as often as Adam Vinateri is out injured, I think it makes sense to use Stover. The Colts could also look at a third option and go for a kicker late in the draft. I think most of the kickers in the NFL are just getting too old. Someone on tv brought the topic up a week or two ago and I think they are right. And as a result, the kickers aren’t kicking as long of punts and field goals. Most of the kickers out there are around 40 or older.

Here's the thing...
Until Vinny is healthy, and I mean kicking 50 yards field goals healthy……than Stover is the kicker….period…
Vinny can kick from 50, but if he can’t do it without some kind of consistency because his leg, it’s a no brainer on keeping Stover….
In fact, if the Colts believe he can’t go…..IR him for an extra roster spot….because I’d rather lose a game on 4th down than a missed field goal because of a bad legged kicker..
