4.25 MIL a year for an inconsistent kicker, Hurney 2.0 

Why are we paying top dollar in March for a kicker. 

Moron 2.0

Solid deal for a very solid kicker. Gano gets the job done and then some. I don’t really understand some of the negativity towards him. I feel as if we expect kickers to be automatic robots some times but they have a tough job in my opinion (which may not be worth anything)

Olindo Mare says thank you to Marty still.

Ugh. The contract isn’t the worst, but I was hoping to move on from gano. If your coach cant trust you with 50 yard fgs, you don’t deserve a job kicking in the nfl.

The Atlanta Falcons just extended Matt Bryant for 3-years, at 10.5 mil and includes incentives that could boost the total to $12 million.  

If we paid anything over 15..... I think we got hosed. 

But Bryant is 90 years old and he could fall off at any given time.

When Gettleman signed Gano it was for 12.5 million for 4 years. Or 3.1 million a year on a total salary cap of 133 million or 2.3% of the cap. Hurney signs him after a probowl year for 4.25 million on a salary cap of 177 million or roughly 2.4% of the cap. So if people weren't pounding Gettleman in 2014 why pound Hurney now? Given the economics of the salary cap which drives the increase in salaries the salaries are almost exactly the same. You could argue that given Hurney was negotiating with a player with more leverage coming off a probowl season that this contract was actually better than the one Gettleman handed out 4 years ago. Sure the guaranteed money was higher but that is where contracts are going. Look at Cousin's contract which is fully guaranteed supposedly.  Crazy. You either have to pay more and guarantee less or guarantee more and pay less.

Close the thread.

He attempted one from beyond 50 and it was his only miss if I remember correctly. Was the 25 yarder clutch?

In fact, we were DESPERATELY trying to score a TD near the end because, you guessed it, Gano shanked a gimme 25-yarder which, if made, would have changed the situation to moving into FG range.  This, of course, was the cherry on top of his "best" year which you and all others who believe like you drool over thinking it deserves a long-term $4M+ per year contract.

Looking forward to many more years of Gano letting us down even, as noted above, when he's at his "best".

Yeah I think you forgot Clay had the easiest td go right through his hands. So guess what we would have been winning the game and would have been running the time out going to the divisional rd. I think everyone is full of crap on here about Gano. Look at the weeks Cam struggles does anybody jump on his ass for all his high throws or the weeks Olsen can't catch a cold. Gano missed one fg all year. Beat the Patriots with a clutch 48 yd fg. Look at the season as a whole imo Gano was the most consistent guy on the team all year.

Did we just sign Clay to a 4-year $17M extension with $9M guaranteed?

No?

Then what's your point?  The only reason Clay was playing was because of Ron and Marty trading away WR1 mid-season and a host of injuries at the position.

Did Gano miss that chip shot because he was injured?

No?

Then you don't have a leg to stand on.

19 of his made FGs where from the 30-yd range or less.  He made all of those in the regular season (for the first time in his Carolina career, I might add).

But then come the playoffs where he has become a specialist in choking.

Sure sounds like a guy who should be the 2nd highest paid kicker in the league to me.

And that's what I mean u don't blame any of the other games we lost during the season on nobody else. Get the hell out of here with that other crap man. To base his contract on one 25 yd fg missed ur freaking ridiculous. We need some real fans to take over this site, alot of you are morons on here.
