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.

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.

    • It's definitely a historical issue at QB but to be perfectly blunt, we also don't do a good job of really developing almost any position if you look at the last decade or so. I tend to be on the side of that being far less a development issue than an evaluation deficiency.  I think we are in the situation at QB2/3 recently due to the overall roster being absolutely abhorrent and the QB classes being quite thin. It is harder to justify another Matt Corral(or several) when you can potentially get a real two deep contributor at other positions.  But, it was a lot of hard work to get to the point where are roster is so incredibly bad that luxury picks literally are not in our vocabulary.  This is the reaping what you sow portion of our history.
    • That is what I meant about our front office. They are like someone filling out a March Madness bracket based on preference of uniform colors and mascots. There's no rhyme of reason to some of these fugg'n mind numbing decisions they make.  They go all in on these flimsy-@ss prospects and are gun shy when it comes to more solid prospects.  It's literally maddening and the reason I stopped being so emotionally involved in this team. Heck the only reason I'm active on the board today is one, it's my day off and two, it's cut down time.
