Best kicker in franchise history

[Randolph Panther]

Argue that

Overreact much?

He could've hit that from 67. Only thing is at 67 it would've went right but he put the boot on that one

Is Jon Kasay

Eeehh no, that's still John Kasay.

Gano is capable of hitting from 60 and missing from 40.  Luckily we got the good side of the coin today.

At this point all of Gano's stats are better, both regular season and playoffs, and he's been just as clutch if not moreso. Kasay deserves his honors, particularly for his role in Smitty's maturation, but Gano has earned the nod.

Gano is without a doubt better than Kasay.  Numbers back it up and he def has the stronger foot.

No he hasn't. Gano usually chokes under clutch situations where Kasay usually was money. Kasay is one of the best kickers in NFL history. Without him in 2003, we wouldn't have been in the Super Bowl. Gano has cost us playoff games. Kasay has also made 43 50 plus FGs while Gano has only made 19.

Wow, dude wins a game for us and he’s the best in our history...

Next time he misses a fg or extra point and people will be calling for his head

[OneBadCat]

The best asset a kicker can have it to be clutch. Kasay was one of the best in league with the game on line. And in his prime he was hitting 50 yarders all the time.  

If I remember right Kasay didn't start out as an exceptional kicker. He grew into it and I think it may be what we are seeing with Gano. He's had a great year. He's got a bigger leg than Kasay but I still think John is better right now.

I didn't take anything away from Kasay and Kasay choked sometimes too... are you forgetting that same Super Bowl? Does Carolina get to the Super Bowl in 2015 without Gano and his multiple game-winners?

Kasay by far, if you think otherwise you are brain dead.

[ChibCU]

I'm not a Gano fan and I'd have to say he's a better kicker than Kasay was while here.

 

We had to waste an active roster spot to f'ing field two kickers. Kasay also lost us the Super Bowl.

You're a moron if you think he lost us the Super Bowl
