Problem is that 23 yr old could F up a wet dream. He sucks.

While Gano has stuggled as of late, I'd rather give him a chance to prosper as a Redskin than let him get away ala David Akers. He's still young and seeing how he bounces back over the next 3 games will go a long way in projecting his future.

Mark Moseley, 1982 NFL MVP, is regarded as one of the best kickers in Redskins history. His career FG percentage? 65.6%. Chip Lohmiller, kicker during the back half of the Gibbs I era has a 71.8% career FG percentage. And while the kicking game has evolved over the last 30 years, the Redskins have gone through their fair share of mishaps and shoddy kickers (Ola Kimrin, Jose Cortez, James Tuthill). The Redskins kicker with the best career FG percentage? Shaun Suisham.

All I'm saying is give the young kid a chance. Gano has a booming leg and will get better and tougher with experience.

I'd rather have a consistant inside the 40 kicker than a deep kicker that is irratic....of course, that depends on how much you trust your kickoff coverage unit. Some teams have a kickoff guy and a kicker...we just need another roster spot...axe sundberg and you solve that problem.
I was envious of TB's kicker....no misses inside the 40 all year..unreal

I didn't like Gano's performance this week...but due to the fact that we suck....let's let the guy finish out the year to see how he deals with slumps...perhaps, he comes back and suprises us....but changing the holder on him is just gunna mess him up...The FO knows that...they must....that is going to be a huge challange for Gano and Sundberg....we shall see.

I really think the FO is setting up the kicking team to fail so they can clean house this offseason.

I don't call missing a 20 something yard kick a slump I'd call it totally inexcusable and fire the guy.

So... I guess you were ok with cutting Suisham last year after all
