Another game, another miss for Gano

How long must we endure this Ron?

Gano actually had a pretty decent game today. Missed one 49 yard kick, but made 2 out of three.

But just out of curiosity, who would you replace him with? I mean its great to say get rid of him, but you actually have to bring in someone to replace him who is better. I would have loved to get Gould, but he is no longer an option. So who?

[Daddy_Uncle]

yes because it's all Ron's fault.All star field goal kickers are just so easy to find off the street.

After he and Zerlein traded missed FGs my mom texted me "you know, UNC has a kicker that hits 50yd FGs in his sleep....". I just had to sadly chuckle and wish he were our kicker.

I'm done with his ass.....

guess we were spoiled with "Mr. Automatic" for so long

Why the Redskins got rid of his ass

Something else to look for next season.

Not going to find one now!

Would be good to get some stats and do a comparative analysis. I personally like him but sometimes I like people even when they aren't as good as I think they are.

66% on the day. That should up his FG% on the season.

Oh wait. nvm.

$4m kicker. 

11 kickers are paid 600k or less. 6 are for playoff contenders. 7 of them are more productive than Gano.

The three top paid kickers are Gano, Janikowski, and Gostkowski. They are all below 80%, and they are lucky if they have a season in the 90% range in 1 of every 3 seasons.

A 600k kicker has the same chance/rate at a 90% season as any of the top paid kickers.

Use that $3.5m wasted on a kicker for say a player with greater impact like a CB at the top of the league.

And the guy they replaced him with was worse.

I'm over Gano, but like the others have said, who do we replace him with?

The panthers have people to find someone better. That's their job and should get to finding

True. We somehow snagged Andy MVP from the Browns, would like to see at least an attempt made instead of Ron chastising everyone saying he's fine despite the opposite.

I've defended Gano for a long time. But we need to explore options moving forward.

Also, it wouldn't be the huddle without someone steadfastly defending blatant mediocrity. It's like some people never learned after the 2010 season. Fug you, and your mediocrity right in the ear. Enough of this settling bullshit.
