Anyone else doesn't fully trust Gano?

I know he's been better than average since we signed him, but I just don't ever feel like he's automatic, especially in the clutch.

 

I never felt this way when we had Kasay. 

Teams are constantly switching kickers in today's NFL. In the mid 2000 almost every team had a long term kicker. Anyone notice that?

He's good enough that he can't be replaced by Justin Medlock but he is not in the category of Justin Tucker or Stephen Gostowski. But if he continues to miss field goals at crucial situations, he will be released because his teammates will no longer trust him. But I hope he does not turn into a Billy Cundiff.

People will assume that my opinion is influenced by his game-losing miss on Thursday, but I've never trusted Gano.  I walk out of the room whenever he kicks a field goal, whether it's a game-winning FG try or a 20 yard chipshot.  I just don't think he's an elite kicker.  We don't really have any other options though, and he is somewhat consistent.  But no, I've never trusted him.

We played very poorly in Denver

Oline, Dline, CB's, S, Special teams and coaching.  Still a 1 point game at the home of the Super Bowl Champs.

3 days of threads on getting rid of everyone.  If Gano had made the kick, everyone would be all rosy

1st season for you guys?

I knew a great coach once. He made one of the best points I had ever heard after our teammate Andy struck out to end the game when we were down by one.

We were about 13, so Andy was very upset. It was an all-star game.

Coach Kellum said "Andy, you can't blame yourself for the loss. Derek missed a pop fly in the outfield, and that let up a score. Coby overthrew fist base on a routine grounder and that put two men on base who later scored. You can't take the blame for the loss".

 

Yea I get it, Gano is a professional kicker. At the same time, there was lots of mistakes that were made that could have won the game much earlier and not made it all rest on Ganos shoulders.

      We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.

      This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together.

      Nope. No balling out but he could latch on as a backup elsewhere. I still think he would be the weak link on a ridiculously loaded team that would create problems in the Playoff and while facing other really good teams. His limitations are just to much at this level. I have zero fear of playing him in the future. It's a litmus test for the D, granted the D is pretty awful currently so none needed.
