Graham Gano is becoming a problem

With some of our epic collapses  in the second half of the game, they need all the points they can get. Can't leave any points on the field (this includes wide open td's also). Seems that Gano misses one for everyone he makes lately 

No, he's at 80%  (16/20) and 3 of his 4 missed attempts were in our 1st two games when there were several blocked kicks.  He'd been perfect on FGs ever since until last night.

Here are the FG stats for us and all our opponents so far this season:

And as for PATs, Gano is 24 of 26 for a rate of 92%.  Our opponents are 13 of 16 for 81%.

Oh and Kickoffs for Touchbacks. 

Gano led the league in 2014 with a 74% touchback %.  He's currently 13th in the league this season at 62%

So, no, his stats are not leading the league this season, but they're average to above average, and I'm fine with that now.  You take away those blocked FGs early in the season, and Gano would be 18 of 20 on his FGs (90%)

We're in the top 10 in average FGs made per game - an average of 2 made per game.

We're 25th in overall FG conversion %

But, excluding blocks, Gano is 13th.

    • Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.
    • I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
    • I’ve haven’t seen anything that says we have interest in Njoku?
