Yes, it would be SILLY to cut that absolute greatness. Put that man in the Bengals Hall of Fame!
So basically Nugent is almost never in the bottom ten in FG% yet you think that we can just plug in anyone and he would be better.
If there are so many unemployed kickers better than Nugent then why haven't all of those teams with kickers worse than Nugent signed them?
Since 2010 there are 35 kicker with at least 80 FG attempts and Nugent ranks 23 among them. Not great, but far from the bottom of the barrel that many of you claim he is.
I have no problem with the Bengals bringing in other kickers to compete for the job. I would also like to have a top ten kicker. But to claim we should just cut a guy when nhe is consistently better than lots of other kickers in the league is just silly.
