I assume you are saying that because of completion percentage, but we need to look closer.
The guy didn't miss a FG inside of 50 yards, He was only 1 of 4 to do that.
That; 's because of the number of 50+ we ask of him Only 1 kicker was asked to kick more 50+ than MM. Gay had 13 to MM's 12. Gay had a completion percentage over 3 points lower than MM.
He had 0 FGAs blocked. 15 of the top 25 did
he missed 0 XPs 17 of the top 25 did
He had 0 Kickoffs out of bounds 11 of the top 25 did
So, I'll disagree with the mediocre rating and say there's yes way to him being among the top kickers in the NFL
