Graham Gano has to Go !!

In his 4 seasons here Hall was 54/69 - 78%

No great, not horrible, certainly not as bad as some seem to remember

I'm so sick and tired of hearing that. Gano flat out sucks. How many under 30 yard FG does he have to miss? If a FG kicker causes everyone to sit on pens and needles for kicks under 30 yds, he needs to go.

If you are so sick and tired of hearing that, then lots of people must not agree with you.

I think with Hall it was an injury issue.Hall was excellent when the Skins first acquired him, but was never the same after injuring his kicking leg during his first season here.

I still stand by my statement that Gano is the most talented kicker we've had since Lohmiller. I recall my youthful venting on the airwaves with Ken Beatrice, calling for Lohmiller's head when he missed a PAT and a short FG during a 1 point loss to the Giants in his rookie season. Thankfully, Gibbs had faith that Lohmiller's talent would prevail with more experience. I'm still very bullish that Gano's talent will shine through as well. Obviously, Shanahan still has a similar opinion, and hopefully he brings competition into camp, and pushes Gano to a higher level of performance next season.

LOL, he can only go higher.

Gano's lining up right now for a 30 yd FG. Are you confident he'll make it? I didn't think so.

Good lord, its frickin January and we're not in the playoffs and we have a 17 page thread about Gano.
You guys have no idea who our kicker will be next year.
I doubt Shanahan does either.

I really think that with some competition he would preveil. I really think if we let him go, he goes somewhere and becomes an probowler i.e. David Akers

The Akers argument is getting kind of old. We've released plenty of kickers that didn't go on to have a career like him. I'm not saying it wouldn't/couldn't happen but it's sure as hell not certain.

I tried making that point...deaf ears

mah fault bro, didn't figure there was enough worth it in a K thread to go back and read it all

QFT though

Actually at 30 yards, he's as good as any other kicker in the division. Look the guy did not kick well this season but that does not mean he is not a good kicker.

The whole team played lousy. Do we cut them all? Or give them time to mature in their position?

Gano does have a lot of potential. Sometimes you have to give a player time. From what I have seen from Gano, he will be a good kicker in time. IMO.

And again, give me a team that does not have to rely so heavily on a field goal kicker instead of a great field goal kicker.
