That is the career completion of the best kicker in franchise history. 

proves fans often talk out of their asses. 

Go kick rocks.

I see Brittany Gano has joined us everyone.  But don't shoot the messenger Brittany, I mean, the gravy train was great while it lasted right?

The fact is this franchise has never drafted a kicker and never won a Super Bowl.  The two times we made it our kickers F'd up.  All that needs to change.  Soon.

   And that number would put that K in the bottom third of the league last year. Not to mention 3 misses on XPs last year as well, by Gano. All while being having the 6th highest cap hit in the NFL going into 2017.

  Sure is some good value there. What body part are you speaking from?

Last year sucked...but in 2015 we were #1 in Kicking and Punting in the league.  Sigh...this league is all about schedule, health and momentum.  We are great at K and P with Gano and Lee. Gano is very motivated.

  Please show me any information that states that Gano and Nortman were anywhere close to #1 in the NFL in 2015. Or the team was. I would be very curious to see this.

I think it is time to bring one in for competition. Gano's missed winning FG vs Denver week1 killed our whole season. 

Shallow thinking...it wasn't the kicker.  You can't leave it up to the kickers.

 What metrics are they using? What are the parameters. How is Gano anywhere near the top K? Or Nortman the top P? For example, how is NE behind us with a 91% FG and exact same P avg. if we were that good, why would we go after Andy Lee, when Nortman was cheaper and didn't let us a pick? Stats without context mean nothing. Please explain what these represent in any way.

    • Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.
    • It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
