Kind of feel bad for the guy since he didn't really get a chance but with him missing that extra point and a 7th round pick being on the line we couldn't afford to keep him around. That pick might not seem like much but sometimes that can be the difference between making a trade in the draft to move up or for trading for a person you want.

Yeah, cutting Gano without a legit replacement or even fuging plan was a huge botch job.

It was a major botch job, For all the flank people here want to give Gano he's a good kicker and it is just salt in the wound that we drafted a guy that is a top two kicker to replace him and lost out by trying to stash him.

Yeah, it was beyond dumb. The decision to try and stash Butker when he was our future plan, rather than just biting the bullet and cutting Gano then was just beyond idiotic. They tried to have their cake and eat it too and ended up with no cake at all.

A young kicker would have gave us more options, but because we snagged Zane G. from a practice squad we have to use a roster spot on him for at least 3 weeks, even if we cut him prior to 3 weeks- he takes up a spot. So most likely he's our guy for a while.

You can bench him but you can't cut him prior to 3 weeks on the roster.  Same difference I know but just wanted to clarify for those new to football.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
