Says Gano or Gostowski are more deserving of the Pro Bowl than Prater.

Having an elevation as an aide sure does help getting into the pro bowl. I agree Gano or Gostowski should have been in.

[KendrickPanther]

I'm fine with Gano but we really don't ask him to kick much. His attempts are pretty low and his misses were in important games.

[Cam's New Arm]

He also rebounded after a miss to put in a game winner, I believe.

Gano has been a huge surprise to me but a very good one.

their argument is someone who is 6 for 6 from >=50 yards vs someone who's 5 for 6 and broke the nfl record. this is really nitpicky.

Posted this in the pro bowl thread just a sec ago.

I guess I am a little selfish but Gano not making the pro bowl is probably good for us re-signing him.

If he stayed at 100% in field goal percentage we would have run into trouble since he is one of our free agents next year.

A good bit of evidence for Gano was his touchback percentage. Field position is a pretty important part of a kicker's job too.

I didn't know that, who "deserves" it matters.

This is the pro bowl we're talking about.

It should matter if guys have contracts that name the probowl as an incentive.

Again, Prater set the record for arguably one of the most impressive stats kickers can have. He was going to get on based on that alone.

Prater broke a 43 year old record.   Pretty much cut Gano's chances in half.
