In Hindsight, Still Think Keeping Gano over Butker was a Huge Mistake.

We've missed consistency since Kasay, and Gano is still unreliable despite a strong showing so far this year.  I hadn't kept up with Butker since his first game with KC until tonight...  he is a rookie, has made 11 straight attempts and just drilled a 53 yarder right down the middle, and again, he's younger and cheaper than Gano.  I know, no use in crying over spilled milk, but Hurney screwed up here.

We should've gone young for sure. They are about equal but Butker is much younger and cheaper. Should've kept Lee (Palardy looked good in preseason, but just like last year, has been terrible this year, easily bottom 5) and Butker. Should've went with the opposite combo of young/old. But whatever, we can still win it this year and right now that's all I'm focusing on. I'm not enough of a masochist to be looking towards our future under Hurney and JR...

I think it's a bit too early to proclaim that Buttkicker will be something "special".  Gano has kicked very well this year. In the controversial no field goal attempts this year, where a different kicker could have played a roll in the season.  I don't see RR allow Buttkicker to kick the ones he didn't let Gano kick. Also, with Buttkicker, he was a built in excuse, "...didn't want to put a rookie in that position..."

 Nonetheless, I wish Buttkicker nothing but the best. I always like an Andy Reid coached team and he landed in a great place.

      OTA's

      I think he's gone, and rightfully so, if he turns in another losing record. The "talented roster," regardless of how true or not, is a double-edged sword. If the roster is so much improved now from 202X then why are you still producing losing seasons? On one hand, maybe that's what needs to happen. Have the GM hire the new coach, and then have the new coach pick his guy to run his system. That is typically how it works in the NFL. Not the forced inheritance deal we have had in place.

      The running back situation....

      Hinging on Brooks to be our spark...be good if it happens... but not holding my breath....RB next draft. Morgan gambled...it would be a 2 year payoff if thing happened.

      Only way Canales is fired is if we are attrocious everywhere....  defense /special teams and offense..  There are enough "questions" on if BY9 is the guy that ownership wouldn't fire the coach for "just" mid qb play.  Especially with as talented a roster that has played "well enough" to win some tough football games and hang in there against the top tier of the NFL ...(mostly).   Now total team suckage..yeah .. but I don't see that happening.
