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.

    • I think it is a perspective thing.   For Bryce, have people forgotten how utterly horrible he was into year two?  I think some have.   I am not a numbers guy but I hear tell that his numbers were historically poor.   He was incrementally better 2nd half of year two and that takes you to 2025.  He had  actual acceptable performances at times in 2025. Which is a whole lot better than historically bad but not necessarily even league average when you can’t cherry pick just those good days.     I don’t know what about CJ. At this point I’d have to say I would be very concerned about him because it may now be in his head.   I still think CJ is the better QB but maybe not if he can’t put the dysfunction behind him.  
    • The thing is, Stroud's needle has been moving down where Young's has been moving up. Situationally, most would give the nod to Stroud over each of their tenures, so overall most are going to be more critical of him at the moment.
    • Actually we like to run more than most, and the dropoff isn't that drastic. We seem to be pretty much middle of the road. The Facons, Bucs, Browns and Bengals are the ones where running drops off markedly when they start trailing. Our line on the chart, like I said, is somewhat middle of the road.  As to whether or not if it's good or bad is anyone's guess by looking at this. I suspect people who like Old school football won't be upset at this at all. The thing is, we would have to know the game scripts and the situations, as running and or passing making sense is contextual. I know that I haven't necessarily been enamored with Canales's situational play calling. At the end of the day, I believe in using the run to set up the pass and the pass to set up the run, and trying to keep the opposition off balance, but I still believe that you should run it down their throats if they can't stop it.
