How Much do you Trust Nugent?

Nugent did a good job today, that OT kick was iffy but went in (can you admit that? lol).

I laid out a stat that shows Nugent (career accuracy) is 21st in active kickers. We can assume that is of starters, it would be a shame if another kicker had enough kicks to make his active % higher than Nuge and is on the bench somewhere, lol (who has 2 kickers?).

He's a hometown legend, a good story, and a good guy. But he's still 21st in the league. If we had a backup he would have been in there this game IMO with Nuge being 3/5 before this game, just like Hill got yoinked quick for Gio (the better back).

For me it started sometime last year where he missed 3 or 4 in a row and multiple in the same game (which happens), but 4 in a row was pushing it for me. I can live with can't hit the 50 yarders, but nowadays we need an accurate 45 yard and less. The question is do you trust Nuge to win a game for us, and I say I don't have full trust either unfortunately, based on stats.

Devon Still is a great story too, but he's not on the team.
