I'm not defending his lack of clutch ability but to look at all angles....what are the distances of those attempts? Just trying to understand those

I've seen people here mention the two 60 plus attempts shouldn't be held against him. Thats fair....though when you take those 2 out he's 1 of 4 from 50+ which is still one of the worst percentages in the NFL.

Still seeing a lot of excuses for a guy when Gano didn’t get a pass and was arguably more consistently clutch in tight game scenarios. 

He was more consistent but he was also kept on the bench at times because Ron didn't think he could make a kick in the 40s. Thats as worrisome as a kicker who misses. Add in that contract when we had Butker and it was a recipe for a lot of discontent. I'm not mad at Gano, I'm mad at Hurney for paying him what he did with a rookie who looked just as good on our roster.

I love Ron but that might be more of a slight on him. Not trusting your kicker but keeping guys in past their prime is a little contradictory to say the least.

It makes that a lot more obvious when you see that he is 12 of 13 from 40+ this year(4 of 5 from 50+). A lot of things can directly be attributed to Ron being Ron.

Not to mention he had a string of bad luck with injuries. A healthy Gano has always been a beast. If he wasn’t healthy enough to get the job done that’s hardly his fault unless he is pulling a Cam and not being honest with himself or coaching/medical staff.

So he was injured every year but 2017 when his coach wouldn’t let him kick it 50 yds. When was he ever a “beast”?

      His PPG actually did go up a little in Colorado. We will see. I still sort of believe we saw pretty close to the peak of his abilities last year. Not wishing him ill or trashing him in any way. Just tend to believe we did sell high and correctly so.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Well, other teams also had an offseason. I honestly agree with him. Right now I have way more faith in Coker ascending then I do XL. I think it's the TE/WR group dragging us down. Plus he does mention that the list was made with WR's very much valued more than RB's and TE's(I understand the thought process). In that context, we have a very aging AT, two "wait and see" second year players(one leaning bust) and a rookie.  I really think this is a very fair rating, on paper and in the offseason. Quite frankly, aside from the aforementioned and aging AT, this is a bunch of guys still trying to prove themselves.  Then when you go to TE, it's easily a bottom 3-4 unit on paper. That is probably being extremely generous.  RB is where we make our hay. Probably a top 5-10 unit. But....he mentions early in the article that he doesn't value the RB units as much.  So, really, it's the weighting of the skill positions that is what really fugs us.
