Jason Hanson thread

Discuss everyone's favorite Lion here!
Let's look at the NFL Scoring leaders...

Hanson is 7th all-time. Active players are in bold.

1. Morten Andersen 2,544
   
2. Gary Anderson 2,434
   
3. George Blanda 2,002 (HOF)
   
4. John Carney 1,955
   
5. Matt Stover 1,944
   
6. Jason Elam 1,915
   
7. Jason Hanson 1,747
   
8. Norm Johnson 1,736
   
9. Nick Lowery 1,711
   
10. Jan Stenerud 1,699 (HOF)
    

2009 Preview: Given that the three players ahead of Hanson are all active, it is unlikely he'd move ahead of any of them soon. George Blanda is 250ish points ahead of Hanson so barring the greatest season in NFL history, he will remain in 7th place for 2009. He could move ahead of Blanda in 2010 if he puts together two very good seasons.

Go whoever the hell that is!

Who's that?

I LOVE JASON HANSON, he gives me a reason to live....just kidding!

GO HANSON!

But that Musical group Hanson sucks! I would walk out of Ford Field if they played that crap after Hanson kicked a field goal

GO LIONS!

Jason Hanson is the Lions kicker! He's the greatest kicker in team history!

:hanson:

Hanson will probably get around 100 points next year (122 last year, 117 2 years ago). That would move him ahead of Norm Johnson for 7th all-time. He will likely end up in the top five all-time when he retires. Is he a HOFer? Only one pure kicker is currently in the HOF.

Can't wait for football!

Bought a Lions Season Ticket half season package

Gonna buy me a Hanson Jersey

GO LIONS!

Do they sell those or do you have to custom order them? Having never been to a Lions home game I can't really tell if Hanson is all that popular. He's the longest-serving Lion and in my opinion HOF-worthy (I believe kickers...and even punters) should have a place in the HOF. Despite all that I wonder if he gets much of an ovation from the fans.

I get a 100 dollar gift card from Roar and More [ Lions store inside FordField] I hope they have Hanson jerseys,

Already have a Barry Sanders one!

If they don't you can buy a nameless jersey and have them add his name. I highly doubt they'll have Hanson in stock but then again who knows.

No other Lion is worth me getting their jersey

I will get one made


Hanson Rules!

Yeah, Hanson is about the only Lion that's worth a shit. They all suck or are unproven youngsters.

Roy Williams? Hes a beast.

If the Lions don't trade him!


Hanson has been around forever!


Why spend 100 or 200 bucks for a jersey for a player that may become a free agent or get traded.



Hanson probably finish his career in Detroit.

Ok I see your point.

Hopefully Hanson doesn't finish it for a long time He needs to be like Andersen and play 'til he's 47 (or older). While he's at it he needs to be like Blanda and play QB - can't be worse than Kitna.

Best FG Kicker Ever

Should start a Hanson FG and PAT tracker once the season starts

GO JASON
