Nugent will cost us at least 1 game this year

How big is a "percentile"?

Here is the deal.  Nugent does not always rank in the mid to low 20's.  And with the difference between FG% being do small and the average NFL team attempting 31 FGs the difference between #20 and #10 is about one miss.  Nugent is solidly in the middle of the pack.

Ranking/Total # of players who Qualified.

2015 - 23rd/32
2014 - 27th/31
2013 - 23rd/32
2012 - 20th/31
2011 - 8th/31

He has been a career below-average kicker.

A lot of the issue people have around here is that it seems that Nuge's job is a lock every year.  It doesn't seem like the Bengals bring in serious competition.

*ahem* oh freddy.....

.....and sorry for the grammatical error, but you got the gist.


As to the bolded, yes BleedNOrange, that is the issue at hand.
