None of those tell you who the better punter is. Punting is situational. Kicking from midfield, who is better - the guy who booms a 55 yarder or the guy who kicks a 40 yarder with halftime.
In order to say who the better punter is, you have to watch every play and determine if the guy executes what needs to be executed in each particular situation.
The NFL ranks punters on gross average. Surprised you did not know that.
I watched McInally punt and he was damn good. Obviously everyone else who watched him play agreed because they selected him as First Team All Pro which means he was considered the best punter in the entire league.
