To accurately rank Nugent among his peers, you have to compare him almost strictly to AFCN kickers. Comparing his average to kickers for teams that play in warm weather or especially in a dome, let alone in Denver, is ludicrous. If Nugent kicked in 80 degree weather or inside all the time like some of these other kickers, his percentage would skyrocket. Kicking in the AFCN off of frozen or wet turf, in cold weather and in swirling winds is a brutal profession.

Ok, here you go.  FG% ranks.

Year    BAL  PIT   CLE  CIN
2015   21   7       11    23
2014   16   5       30    27
2013   T6   5       25    23
2012   T6   7       T2    20
2011   28   31     T17  8

So FG% in the AFCN, Nuge has finished 4th, 3rd, 3rd, 4th, & 1st.  Yay.
