Y’all hated his ass when he was here don’t rewrite huddle history to fit your whiny ass narrative. 

No, if I'm being 100% honest...  And anyone can search it to verify it - I was one of the first and very few, if not only, people on here to vouch for Gano while Mare was here.  I was also adamant I did not want Mare when we signed him...  I followed and watched Gano since college and quite a bit with WSH, so I wanted us to go get him when he was available.  And I loved him those first few years...  but, he did the struggle the last year or so, and he had become inconsistent enough that I felt we should move on.  He missed a enough clutch kicks that he didn't feel reliable anymore, and that season opener miss against Denver is 16 was the beginning of the end.  It felt like time to move on.  Slye looked like a young kicker with huge potential and an even bigger leg than Gano, so I was fine moving on.  He just seemed broken.

And he honestly had never been as consistent as he has been now with NY.  No one could've predicted this.  He was great at one point for us, but not like this.  This is Vinatieri level good.

It sucks.  Kicker is a fickle position.  I mentioned Mare, and funny enough, he was considered one of the league's best when he was with the Dolphins...  by the time he got to us, he was absolutely horrible.  Gano was struggling here, now he's amazing.  Slye was struggling here, then goes out and makes every kick in his debut with the Texans.  John Kasay was a 78% kicker with Seattle before we got him our inaugural season, and he ended up being a career 82% kicker with us.  Kickers are hard to figure out...  and the thing is, if we had just made the move to Butker, none of this would be an issue, no matter how Gano has done since.  We just made every wrong move we could make at the position.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
