Anyone else doesn't fully trust Gano?

[GoobyPls]

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?

[IGSaint]

I don't trust him but there's nothing we can do about it.

He sucks at 50+ yard fgs..

not when it matter the most.... can't honestly say i do.... if you look at the kicks he's missed, they were very significant. In reference to Thursday, I feel he is too experienced to be iced. Just my honest opinion. He can be upgraded!

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?

And apparently all missed the snap...

I do. Denver game was unfortunate. Last year he was 30/36...4 of those were blocked...he only missed 2 

[Smithers]

I haven't trusted him in a while.  He is below 50% from beyond 50 yards.  He has also proven to be unreliable in big game situations.  For someone making over 3 million a year, I expect better.

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.

What is the league average for kicks beyond 50 yds? I will wait for your response

Some block kicks can be the kickers fault.

I can't believe what I'm reading.  You think it's kick ball?  It's not an easy thing to kick a field goal 40 plus yards.  That's 120 feet and more.  I trust Gano.  He's not perfect, but he's good at what he does.  I'll shut up now.  Gano is a very good player at his position.
