Time for Nugent to go

The average NFL team made just over 3 FGs from over 50 yards last year.  So how the hell do you figure that they all average 2 points every time they get in range for a 50 yard FG?

You're not a math major are you?

Ok, I'll put it in very simple terms for you.  If a team reaches field goal range of 50+ yards 100 times and they attempt to kick a field goal each time, (are you still with me?), they will make, say, 66 field goals and miss around 34 field goals.  (2013 NFL kickers make 65.8% from 50+)

Here's the tricky part.  Each FG is worth 3 points.  66 X 3 = 198 points. 

Now we're going to get crazy and DIVIDE 198 points by 100 trips = 1.98 points per trip.  Crazy huh?  Let's round it up to 2 points just for argument's sake even though it's not exact. 

Face it,  unless you can go back in time and make Nugent's kicks for him, he's still 40.7% lifetime from 50+ and that sucks for an NFL kicker.  That's not going to change no matter how hard you try.

What's shocking is that since 2014 he's attempted 8 and missed 6!  (That includes his 0-2 for this year).  I doubt very seriously he's getting better.

You are not going to convince me Nugent is a decent long range kicker and I'm not going to convince you otherwise.
