Remember that time we drafted a kicker and hurney pulled a hurney and overpaid an aging veteran who wasn't consistent or that good to begin with? Fire his ass.

I'm no Hurney apologist but I think that was Ron's move and say so.  You know Gano is a nice guy and has a family and all

[rayzor]

it's all a ploy to help us appreciate gano more.

 

 

 

btw, I don't actually believe that. I mean maybe I believe it a little.

 

 

and by little, I think that rivera is stooping down to some pretty low levels to try and protect his job so maybe...just maybe it's a conspiracy for real.

but probably not.

I won't admit to thinking any of it, though. 

go panthers.

Move is obviously terrible in hindsight, but wasn't it reported that Butker wasn't exactly impressing in camp? I thought I remember him struggling. 

In TC there was a much trumpeted kicking contest. Gano nailed it. Butker missed a couple. I think they wanted to see Gano respond and be sold on the idea that he had missed key kicks (Denver) because he had become complacent. Deep down I think they’ve always liked Gano’s ability to kick long range and get his touchbacks and are comfortable with his overall percentage despite frequently missing clutch kicks. The tragedy of Gano is that he has all of the tools to be a great kicker but he’s just cost the Panthers in so many key moments. I also think because Butker wasn’t drafted by MH that he wasn’t invested in him.

It was obviously something they were a bit conflicted over though because we had that nonsense with 2 kickers on the roster. It’s fairly daft that in the end we needed the chiefs to settle our kicking competition for us. Yet another example of our hand being forced. At that point they had no choice but to lock themselves to Gano again.

 My bias is plain. I’m not a fan of Gano. I can acknowledge that he was phenomenal this season but he just seems to make kicks easily when there is nothing hingeing on them. I know that if we let him go he would probably rightfully be snapped up immediately. He would probably go on to be remarkably clutch for someone else. I just find his lapses too frequent and devastating to get past.

Well at least having a 2nd kicker makes more sense than having Amini on the roster

Can't argue with that.

[Lumps]

I’ll take a kicker who can make the clutch kicks vs any other stat every time

 

the anti Gano

[Pimpdaddy]

Jayzus... take a flyer on a 5th round kicker in the draft or find a freaking soccer player ...Gano is not bad not good but highly over paid....he can win it or lose it for ya but his inconsistency will drive you nuts....Kasey spoiled us in that department.

He looks a lot like Arthur Morgan in some pics. I bet thats where Rockstar got their inspiration from.
