Who cares? Hurney fuged the K decision up. If we move on from Gano we are basically still paying top K money for 2019. Should have gone with Butker and saved $14m. Gano botched 4+ games in 2016 and helped lose the 2017 playoff game and we reward him like he was Justin Tucker. 2018 comes along and we realize he’s the same shitty kicker as 2018.

Yes that boat has sailed but it still makes me angry, especially since Butker has proven to be an excellent kicker at KC. So much for the individual who told me during TC last year that Gano had completely outkicked Butker off the basis of like 4 kicks each. We shouldn’t be surprised that RR didn’t have the courage of his convictions to get behind a rookie though. 

 Gano, whose distance and kick percentage are impressive, but who costs this franchis repeatedly when the chips are down. He’s been paid again. SMH.

No one on here defending that move this season when people were calling it short sighted and not a great move last year even when Gano was decent.

Gano has come up short this year but I wouldn't say that Butker has been an excellent kicker for KC though:

1-39   Butker 14/14.  Gano 7/8   

40-49 Butker  6/7.     Gano  4/4.   

50+    Butker  1/3.     Gano  3/4

Total: Butker 21/24 (-3) Gano 14/16 (-2)

2018 Contract:

Butker - $555,000

Gano - $3,437,500

So for 1/6 of the price we would essentially get the same production.

And that money could have been used on a DE/CB/Safety/OL in free agency this past season.

My argument isn't that Butker is inherently better, it's that he offers the same production for a fraction of the cost.

The obsession with Hurney's decision to keep one of the best kicker's in football---the best last season---will never end. Damn you guys are petty as fug.

Remember that time we franchised the best pass rusher for one season, it blew up in our face and 4 years later Nails is still making threads about it?

It's not getting dropped until Hurney is dropped or Gano is enshrined in the HOF at the end of his career.

My statement isn't that Bukner's financial numbers aren't more favorable than Gano's, but against your words that stated, "Butker, has proven to be an excellent kicker in KC".

      Ppl want to trade Melo? Am I wrong for thinking that would be a bad idea?

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
