There were 3 Fg attempts over 50 yards this preseason. Bukter made his, Gano missed both of his. Tell me how they are even?

Yikes

 

didn't realize that.

He had to. Just like LTs in the market, you gotta pay to find one. You can't roll the dice on some new kicker just because you don't want to pay him, especially when he's been a consistent force on kickoffs. 

Now that Gano is struggling, there's no doubt in my mind he'd get cut by Dave. Butker is emerging while Gano continues to choke.

No, he didn't. Gano has shown throughout his entire career he wasn't worth the contract he received. Using your rationale of thinking is what gets teams in trouble. Gano has had one really good year.

The basic choice is.  An inconsistent Veteran or and unknown inexperienced rookie.

Gano never should have been given that contract. It was more than we gave Olindo Mare.

Take off the homer shades.

This is why I was so damn mad when Gano went in for that kick. Butker deserved the chance to see if he could keep it going under the lights.

Take a look at the cap allocation for the kicker position for each team in the NFL for 2017.

Guess who is #1 on the list?

Honestly that is going down as one of the worst contracts in Panthers history. There is absolutely no polishing this turd.

Please litter another thread if all you can muster is "lol no".

Cut Gano, put part of that money to Norwell/stah...two very big needs.

If you can't hit a 50 yarder you shouldn't be an NFL kicker. Thanks Gano but this is it.

Too many games where he chokes and misses 30-40 yarders. 

[rippadonn]

John Kasay spoiled us for far too long. At 50-55 yards he was money.

Death by drowning or burning. Neither ideal. Both extremely painful to witness.

He made the extra point kicks. Gano is still trying to figure out how the kid did it.

Gano has missed 6 extra point kicks the last two seasons. 6! For what should be a chip shot everytime.

Don't forget the one he squeezed though in Nashville with body English and clinched butt cheeks.
