In fairness, Nuge has hit 75% of his kicks from 40-49, which isn't too bad. When you look at his career splits compared to Josh Brown, you can see where his problems are:
Josh Brown
From 0-29: 96 of 98 (98.0%)
30-39: 93 of 103 (90.3%)
40-49: 82 of 113 (72.6)
50+: 37 of 54 (68.5%)
14.7% of all his kicks have come from 50+ yards
Nuge
From 0-29: 70 of 71 (98.6%)
30-39: 66 of 79 (83.5%)
40-49: 66 of 88 (75.0%)
50+: 11 of 25 (44.0%)
Only 9.5% of his kicks have come from 50+ yards
So it looks like Nuge has missed too many easy FGs in the 30-39 yard range, and he's practically useless from 50+.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
