Nugent's FG% Rankings...

2015: 23rd
2014: 27th
2013: 23rd
2012: 20th
2011: 8th (14/14 FGs of 29 yards or less, aka shorter than 2015 PATs)
2010: 21st

Yes, you read that right, the only time Nugent has been better than 20th in the NFL in FG% was 5 years ago. Even that was mostly due to his 14/14 on FG of 29 yards or less. You might recall 2015 PATs are 32 yards, so literally shorter than PATs now and not even attempting a 50+ all year was the only way he could manage a higher ranking than the 20s.


Repeat after me: Nugent is not a good kicker.
