I remember the reaction when we signed him. I didn't know enough about him to form an opinion though. He was a redskin right?

 

Yeah and his nickname was "Oh No, Gano" because he was terrible with them.

 

Maybe the change of scenery is what did it. Or the Bojangles'.

 

I don't know.

 Gano has been great.  Would love to know what made the difference for him from last season to now.  Good move whoever saw it in him and recommended the Panthers sign him.  He has an impressive history...made a FG from 71 yds in high school !!!!!

 

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Gano

 

In high school he was an All-American First-Team selection by USA Today and the nation's third ranked kicker by Rivals.com.[3] Gano played in the CaliFlorida All-Star game, completing a 50-yard field goal in the game. During his senior season, Gano kicked three field goals over 55 yards (57, 64 and 65 yards) and had a 71-yard field goal made which was negated by a penalty. 36 of his 38 kickoffs were touchbacks and he averaged better than 42 yards per punt as a senior.[3]

 

 

During his senior year in 2008, [FSU]he finished first in the FBS for field goals made, percentage of field goals converted and 50-yard field goals made, and was the Lou Groza Award winner as the nation's top kicker. He was one of only two kickers in college to make over 90% of his field goal attempts in 2008. He was the highest scoring kicker in America and fourth overall in the FBS in scoring. He also was a Rivals.com, Scout.com and CBS Sports first team All-American. Gano was listed as Walter Camp, Associated Press, Sporting News, SI.com and Phil Steele second team All-American. He earned All-ACC First Team honors as well.

      A lookback at Morgan's first draft

      They still make all the major personale decisions during the off-season. Especially during the draft and early free agency.

      The Panthers’ Bryce Young Problem is Getting Old

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      Fine.  It's his 3rd season which makes his progress and mental fortitude even more impressive after overcoming one of the worst situations to be in starting your NFL career. If the hard takes on Bryce were not filled with so much hyperbole, assumptions and outright lies it wouldn't annoy me so much. Bryce can't throw downfield. He threw it fine downfield to Legette on that deep shot he dropped last year. He threw it fine downfield to T-Mac sunday who proceeded to drop the pass. Bryce is too small. Boy takes a beating before we invested in the offensive line and so far he'd held up physically with no issues. Bryce is too short. The majority of his throws are over the middle which would be the most difficult routes for a shorter QB to see.  He doesn't get balls batted down more than any taller QB's. Bryce is too slow. Last year he ran for 6 TD's and 249 yards.  That ability is a real weapon. Most of the takes around here are of the "Omergaud, he suks" variety with little actual insight.  If a guy is able to play and win multiple NFL games he has to have some talent and ability and if a person continues to say there is no redeeming qualities and you can't tell me what he is good at as well as what he's bad at, then you're not being honest, realistic or genuine.  You're being a fool.

      CSW might be the best pick of the group, and I see his ceiling as solid.  I’d say Munnerlyn is a good comp, but Munnerlyn actually was very good in his role. The more I see of Sanders, the more he feels like the new Ian Thomas.  But can’t make a definitive assessment on that until he plays with a good QB.
