Graham Gano has to Go !!

Gano won't stuggle in Detroit, because its a dome. I would hate to be Robbie Gould and have to kick in Chicago 8 times a year. These dome kickers have it made.

Or a kicker for Green Bay. Probably feels like kicking a cinder block.

Totally agree.

I totally agree. Gano is the most talented young kicker we've had since Chip Lohmiller, whom I recall lost games with big kicks as a rookie. I say ride out his growing pains, and we just might be rewarded with years of solid kicking. He's certainly the best that we've had on kickoffs in years. Don't forget the long kick he made at the end of the Dallas game. People act as if he's choking on every clutch kick, and that is certainly not the case.

I totally agree that we should KEEP him. He is young, has a great leg, has made great kicks, and again, HE IS YOUNG! I love his kickoffs as well. I think accuracy will come with maturity.

FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Innovative Statistics, Intelligent Analysis | 2010 SPECIAL TEAMS RATINGS (http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teamst)

Can't underestimate the role of kick coverage in this rating, but only Atlanta, Baltimore, and Seattle have even 50% of our kickoff unit value. A lot of that is power and directional accuracy from Gano.

i honestly can't believe all the Gano lovers on here. The fact is there is one kicker statistically worse than him. So, how much worse could it possibly get. Fact is, he is missing some pretty damn improtant field goals. Not just this year either, he missed a few important ones last year. One that comes to mind was the Cowboys game that would have won the game. He hasn't shown me anything on a consistant basis worth of giving him a pass. It isn't like the kid misses from just 45 and over. He misses from any distance. What was it last week...35, 37 yards?? Come on, that should be freaking automatic. that isn't the first one he has missed from that range either. The only reason all these lovers are here is because we haven't lost the games (except Texans) where the field goals mattered. Those ones he has missed (chicago, green bay, dallas) if we lose those games his kicks would have made all the difference. I am sorry, i was a Gano fan because the kid has a leg, no doubt. But I will take a guy that can bang 40-43 yards in on a consistant basis than a guy that "could" be good, and has a leg to make from 50+ easlily. I am tired of the freaking revolving door of kickers at Redskin park. We can never find a guy that is any good. I would be bringing someone in and giving them a chance. We have 9 games left, and all but one has come down to the last minute, and withing 3 to 5 points. Field goal kicking is brutally important and we are suffering in that part of the game.

Suisham missed those kicks last year, Gano came in at the end and was 4 of 4.

The way I look at it is Gano is 50-50, when the game is on the linne. Siusham was 100% miss in those situations, so I am willing to give Gano the chance to get better.

I love it when people are tired of the revolving door at kicker, yet they want to bring in someone else. Go figure. How about giving Gano a fair shot to develop?

I think the sentament would be different if we had lost the games this year. You can't honestly think it would be the same. the revolving door i am tired of is the inadequate kickers we have had here for the last how ever many years. the fact remains he is the worst kicker in the league, how could it get worse if we gave someone a look. With the way we play we need a reliable kicker and he just isn't AT ALL. Wait until all these close games go the other way, where his missed kicks are costing us the games, then lets see how much you want to "develop" him. You and everyone else will be saying he has to go. WIth the win now attitude, we aren't going to keep a kicker around that is costing us games.

hopefully i am wrong and he'll work out for years to come. But haven't seen any improvement from last year to this year.
