Well with Gano's historical percentages, you should right?

Well, probably makes more sense to take the attempts away, so 31 out of 36 non blocked attempts. Still gives Gano an 86%. That's not bad, but you may argue that he's responsible for half his blocks (too slow to the kick, too low a kicking angle) so then 31 out of 39, which would put him at 79%. I don't know where that puts him in terms of the league. In my mind, it certainly doesn't equate with an unchallenged spot on the team, but it also doesn't equate to being let go as a failed kicker.

I do remember the GB overtime game where he came on and won it, just one game, but it was an extremely clutch kick, and I think he has the make up to be a long term kicker in this league.
