Nuge isn't "middle of the road" even. He's a bottom-tier kicker based on actual numbers.
He might boot around the league as a traveling injury replacement (ala Shayne), but no team is going to make him "the guy" as we have for 7 years. We could've always done better than Nuge. A kicker on the street (Brown) outplayed him for Pete's sake. Yet we won't even bring in legit competition for the guy.
It reeks of a Mike Brown decision. Loyalty to a subpar player. If Mikey actually has taken a liking for Nuge, it's going to take an utter catastrophe to get him gone. Hopefully it doesn't happen in the playoffs.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
