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.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
