Barth ranks 10th in accuracy among qualifying active kickers (100 attempts), via pro-football reference.

Finally...I think we finally have a kicker we can rely on. Still don't get why Tampa felt the need to take a kicker in round 2; this guy is very solid.

I'll take Barth over Forbath any day

Hadn't he already been released by the Bucs before the end of last season?

Happy to see this signing. "Hopefully" he can give us some stability at a position that seems like a revolving door under Payton's coaching tenure. Fingers crossed.

If the Saints go on to cut Barth...I'm going to rupture an aneurysm.

YES. IMO Barth is better than anything we've had since Kasay. In fact if you don't count the 1 year with Kasay, you have to go back to Carney to find a kicker on our roster as solid.

How about outside?

I definately agree. I just don't know if this is the signing that makes our revolving door finally stop. I hope it does.
