Re: Graham Gano has to Go !!
 

[quote=44ever;775030]I like Gano. I believe if given the chance, he will become a solid kicker for us. He does have the skills and the leg. What he needs is time. Also the microscope gets stronger when so many games are so close and go into OT.

Or we can release him and watch him win games for another team while complaining about how Gano is so much better than our "current" kicker.[/quote]

Sounds like the John Hall argument.

Is Ray Finkle still avaliable??

Re: Graham Gano has to Go !!
 

Graham Gano has a decent leg but like someone on on this thread mentioned, there's no gimmes with this guy and at this level 35 and under kicks in decent conditions need to be gimmes

Re: Graham Gano has to Go !!
 

[quote=FRPLG;774699]I'd give Gano a very committed second chance next year. He has a lot of promise but he needs to deliver with it. Bring in a serious competitor with experience and make him show in training camp he can handle the pressure. It'd be nice too if they could get him a holder and keep him. Switching up mid-year probably wasn't helpful.[/quote]



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

Re: Graham Gano has to Go !!
 

I say we keep him. It's not like we can't cut him if he falters

Re: Graham Gano has to Go !!
 

Give him a lil more time, push him with competition

Do the same with McNabb. :D

I think with Hall it was an injury issue.

Hall was a suckage issue.


He was OK for the Jets and I excited when he came here...blah.

Better at tackling than kicking. Yeah and inury-prone too.

Re: Graham Gano has to Go !!
 

John Hall was a veteran and Joe Gibbs loved vets, but Hall sucked. I know he was injured alot and stuff, but the man plain sucked.

Re: 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

Re: Graham Gano has to Go !!
 

[quote=DM72;775105]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.[/quote]

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

[quote=firstdown;776006]I think with Hall it was an injury issue.[/quote]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.
