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.

Sounds like the John Hall argument.

Is Ray Finkle still avaliable??

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

Switching up mid-year probably wasn't helpful.

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

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

Give him a lil more time, push him with competition

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.

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.

[MTK]

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

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

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

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.
