If I remember correctly Gano only missed 3 FG's.

@ New Orleans

@ Miami

@ San Fran

He was never really asked to come in and make big time kicks. Not his fault obviously but I still don't have alot of faith in Gano. That shank on the extra point in Philly will not escape my memory! I'd say the 2 biggest kicks of the season for him came in San Fran where he went 1 for 2. After missing the first he bounced back nicely and hit the second.

Most games were either blowouts or Cam led touchdowns drives. Now he's awesome on kickoffs, and it's better to have 1 kicker doing both than having to pay two guys.

I like Gano and like the power he has in his leg, I'm just still not sold on him in crunch time yet.

I've seen a fair amount of improvement from when he first got here.

Add in that our assistant ST Coach is a well-known guy with a history of success.

Remember, we used to have 2 roster spots doing what he does.

and most were cool with it as long as we could keep kasay. oye. sometimes you've got to move on from a team icon when the cost well exceeds the level of talent. just make sure you replace that icon with someone that doesn't crap the bed (mare). the only thing worse than losing a  favorite is watching their replacement suck.

 

btw, this contract is so much better than the on  we gave mare. i mean it may be more, but we gave mare his contract before we realized how bad he was. gano is much better than anyone could have thought or hoped for. dude realy helped us and earned that deal.

With Mare, it wasn't just the fact that we gave him a huge contract, but it was without even seeing him play a single game in a Panthers uniform. Gano came in, and rightfully earned his place here. Which is how it should have happened to begin with when we let Kasay go.

Yeah, I even said to myself a few times last season that it's amazing how much Gano had improved from when we first got him.

Dude has a monster leg, so the potential is obviously there.

It was encouraging to see him make the second kick in SF after missing the first. Once a kicker is beat mentally, it's usually game over.
