Anyone else doesn't fully trust Gano?

I know he's been better than average since we signed him, but I just don't ever feel like he's automatic, especially in the clutch.

 

I never felt this way when we had Kasay. 

Teams are constantly switching kickers in today's NFL. In the mid 2000 almost every team had a long term kicker. Anyone notice that?

He's good enough that he can't be replaced by Justin Medlock but he is not in the category of Justin Tucker or Stephen Gostowski. But if he continues to miss field goals at crucial situations, he will be released because his teammates will no longer trust him. But I hope he does not turn into a Billy Cundiff.

People will assume that my opinion is influenced by his game-losing miss on Thursday, but I've never trusted Gano.  I walk out of the room whenever he kicks a field goal, whether it's a game-winning FG try or a 20 yard chipshot.  I just don't think he's an elite kicker.  We don't really have any other options though, and he is somewhat consistent.  But no, I've never trusted him.

We played very poorly in Denver

Oline, Dline, CB's, S, Special teams and coaching.  Still a 1 point game at the home of the Super Bowl Champs.

3 days of threads on getting rid of everyone.  If Gano had made the kick, everyone would be all rosy

1st season for you guys?

And apparently all missed the snap...

I knew a great coach once. He made one of the best points I had ever heard after our teammate Andy struck out to end the game when we were down by one.

We were about 13, so Andy was very upset. It was an all-star game.

Coach Kellum said "Andy, you can't blame yourself for the loss. Derek missed a pop fly in the outfield, and that let up a score. Coby overthrew fist base on a routine grounder and that put two men on base who later scored. You can't take the blame for the loss".

 

Yea I get it, Gano is a professional kicker. At the same time, there was lots of mistakes that were made that could have won the game much earlier and not made it all rest on Ganos shoulders.

    • Man, what interesting polarization here.  Some, hard pass while others would jump their own mom to make  the pick (ok, I just inserted that mental image, ha ha). Warren produced despite being the main focal point of the Penn State offense.  I didn't watch Penn State, but that's what a lot of talking heads are saying so take that with a gigantic grain of salt here!  When I watch the highlights and listen to the analysis: dude is a bully.  He's big, strong and fast enough.  Not a home run threat of a guy, but someone who can use his size and strength to his advantage, like how Gronk did.  Does that make him a sure fire HOF player before he plays a snap?  No, of course not! But I think it's also very important to look at what's happened to other high draft pick TEs.  Top 10 TEs rarely make an impact.  Look at Kyle Pitts in ATL.  He's a great athlete, but was he a worthy high draft pick?  TJ Hockinson.  He was suppose to be a can't miss product, and was traded to the Vikings.  Here's a handy list (despite the source, eww): https://thefalconswire.usatoday.com/gallery/nfl-draft-falcons-tight-end-kyle-pitts-hayden-hurst-atlanta/ There has been much better value drafting guys in the 2nd-4th rounds.  I have no idea if Warren will wash out or not, but I'd MUCH rather draft the best pass rusher, CB or even WR than a TE in the top 10.  Now if the Panthers traded down into the late teens or early 20s and they are sold on him being a difference maker...  I guess that's a different conversation. It could also just be a smoke screen.  Since we telegraphed Legette last year, could be gaming some of the other teams.  Or we could have a hard-on for him. I do enjoy the off season 😃
    • Guess I'm in the minority, love this mock. If you told me we somehow could get both TMac and Starks I would have thought that meant we traded future picks to move up.
