I'm still pissed about that. Hurny is such a moron.

Yet he still has a job 😂

He definitely owes Rivera, big time. Lord knows he never got so much as a sniff after the first time he was fired.

Hey, at least they didn't try to stash one on the practice squad thinking nobody would pick him up 😕

We've had offenses that were so inept that keeping two punters would have been a good idea.  In fact, devising and running the "twin punter formation" would have had its upside.

Gano is/was better than people give him credit for overall but yeah everyone knew Butker was the real deal and at that position you go with the cheap younger option over the decent vet (who had also not shown much clutch ability by that point).

Don't forget, when they mic'ed up players for our preseason game they chose the punter and the long snapper. I mean, that says a LOT.

Hurney kept him on the 53 at the start as well - he was actually rostered until week 2.

Everybody and their brother knew we weren't keeping two kickers. All they had to do was wait.

Honestly, if the Steelers get something for either of their punters, I'll be surprised.

(and honestly, disappointed) 😕

Dumbass Hunery could have traded Gano but elected to keep him because Ron and his hardon for vets.

    • That's mostly me. I came into the season basically believing he was not ever going to be the guy but with a little bit of wait and see. It didn't take long of me seeing before I saw he was the same guy he has largely always been. Maybe in some future scenario 3-5 years from now he is confident enough to be a decent NFL QB. I don't really want to be the team waiting for that to happen. Let his 3rd, 4th, 5th or whatever team be the ones that figure it out.
    • Naw let him get to Tampa and crack his old fragile body with Radsom or Trey M I’d love to see him get rocked by this raw defense. He’s a fool thinking he would leave us for greener pastures I’m glad it played out this way should’ve stayed loyal to the ones who really wanted you.
    • And a legitimate question to ask is what does this offense look like once Bryce is off his rookie contract? How is that offensive line going to look? We have a ton of money invested up front and that is 100% unsustainable with Bryce making starting QB money. Icky and Moton are going to be 50m per season plus the guards at 32 and possibly Mays at 6-8 if we're lucky. Add in Bryce and that's 125m just on those 6 players if we tried to keep them all. It's just not doable.  So then the real question IMO becomes, if we spent the money on our OL, and less on a QB, would the outcome be that much different? I haven't seen Bryce elevate the offense enough by himself on a consistent basis to warrant the contract we would have to give him, not to mention the players we would have to give up, based on the accelerations of the bonuses as I understand them, would likely include Icky.
