Another game, another miss for Gano

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?

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.

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.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
