In Hindsight, Still Think Keeping Gano over Butker was a Huge Mistake.

[Proudiddy]

We've missed consistency since Kasay, and Gano is still unreliable despite a strong showing so far this year.  I hadn't kept up with Butker since his first game with KC until tonight...  he is a rookie, has made 11 straight attempts and just drilled a 53 yarder right down the middle, and again, he's younger and cheaper than Gano.  I know, no use in crying over spilled milk, but Hurney screwed up here.

[AggieLean]

Yep. Hurney will probably look back and realize he made a mistake

agreed, butker is gonna be something special in this league. 

he just has "IT" ... something gano has never had.

4 pats in the first quarter and a touchback that hit the crossbar

We should've gone young for sure. They are about equal but Butker is much younger and cheaper. Should've kept Lee (Palardy looked good in preseason, but just like last year, has been terrible this year, easily bottom 5) and Butker. Should've went with the opposite combo of young/old. But whatever, we can still win it this year and right now that's all I'm focusing on. I'm not enough of a masochist to be looking towards our future under Hurney and JR...

I think it's a bit too early to proclaim that Buttkicker will be something "special".  Gano has kicked very well this year. In the controversial no field goal attempts this year, where a different kicker could have played a roll in the season.  I don't see RR allow Buttkicker to kick the ones he didn't let Gano kick. Also, with Buttkicker, he was a built in excuse, "...didn't want to put a rookie in that position..."

 Nonetheless, I wish Buttkicker nothing but the best. I always like an Andy Reid coached team and he landed in a great place.

It's been in the back of my mind every time Gano walks out onto the field.

Unfortunately, nothing surprises me anymore with this franchise.

[Shocker]

No, but the punter decision is a different story.

[mc52beast]

No worries,Hurney will make up for this mistake by doing really well in the draft...

[TN05]

Lol.

[JawnyBlaze]

You mean they actually let him try a 53 yard fg?!?!  What sorcery is this

[juliosantos]

gano has been fine

More than fine. One of the best kickers in the league.

Still not enough for some people.

[beastson]

Gano is the now.

Butker is the now and future.
