4th Quarter Joey Slye is abysmal

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”?

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
