I've come to grips with the two kicker solution. It is basically just a way to keep Gano on the hot seat. Either he makes the kicks or they let him go. Probably isn't good for confidence but for everyone who wants Gano gone this is probably a good thing. 

Hopefully Gano feels pushed by Butker and it results in a better kicking year. 

If it's necessary to devote a roster spot to Player X solely for the purpose of keeping Player Y motivated, is Player Y really worth keeping?

"No plan" is Marty Hurney's MO.

This team can't even make a fuggin decision on their kicker situation smh And then people wonder why a lot of us are uneasy for the future with these two scared asses running the show.

Pick one and move on. Be prepared to make a change. Just do something and move on.

Cut them both and bring in Novak.  It really isnt that hard. 

I wasn't even aware he was out there, not saying that I would necessarily favor him over our guys (not saying that I wouldn't). Just knowing he's out there, certainly among others, should make cutting Gano or Butker that much easier of a proposition (not that it should be this hard).

Sad we have Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly, but can't bring the right management in to build the best team around them to win the SB.

Remind me again, which pro bowlers did we cut in order to carry a 3rd QB and 2nd kicker as players 52 & 53 on the roster?

If Hurney feels he can get something for either kicker it's better to hang on to him than dump him. Especially when Gettleman has already set him back a step without a 4th next year. 

You know you're supposed to shut up unless you have something nice to say about Gettleman and bad to say about Hurney.

Because we have two kickers before the season starts? Is that wtf we're talking about here? Y'all will bitch about the most pointless stuff

I assumed a "fluid" process means that they're working out a trade, but perhaps it means someone's pissing on themselves, terrified to to move for making the wrong decision.

So what if we have two kickers when the season starts?

[Hogmolliesmaht]

I can't stand Hurney, but I think people are overreacting a little bit too. How can people claim to know that he has no plan when we don't even know what the next move is? Maybe there will be two kickers on the team this time next week, maybe there won't. Nobody here can know one way or the other. For all we know, neither one of the kickers will be on the roster this time next week.

 It's the same with the QB's. Maybe they are sending a clear message to DA with those two young QB's that his seat is not nearly as safe as he probably thought it was and that he could be cut at any time just like Webb was. Maybe he won't be here this time next week. None of us knows. That's just the truth of the matter and I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt for now.

Absolutely not and I'm not advocating it. Im just attempting to find a silver lining in it.

The kicker thing is a facade. It's really a general bitch and moan thread about Hurney and Rivera, and J-Rich to a lesser extent. I guess if we have a good season and Rivera gets another COTY, then people will shut it down temporarily, until the next time, and whisper about how Gettleman is the real reason for the team's success.
