Why should a 50 yard punt from my own 10 be worth less than a 50 yard punt from my own 20?
It definitely has some holes and i'm still trying to figure out how to compare punters based on the numbers but...it's not about which punt is more or less (better/worse). It's strictly based on, wherever the punter is, how close did he come to getting the ball downed on the opponents 1 yard line (what i would call, the perfect punt). That's why i call it 'Percentage of Maximum Yards'. How much, or how close, did he come to the max yards before a touchback.
Longer punts--from your own 10--are going to inherently result in a lower percentage, in the vast majority of cases. That's why i included AJ Cole from the Raiders. He had something like a 50yd average last year and in that game, he had three 60+ yard punts out of 6 total punts.
