'10: 21st
'11: 8th (he had 14 FGs of 20-29 yards, aka shorter than a current PAT, and 0 attempts of 50+ that year)
'12: 20th
'13: 23rd
'14: 27th
'15: 23rd
'16: 24th
So the only year he wasn't a clearly below average kicker for the Bengals was the year he kicked a ton of PAT-FGs and didn't even bothering to attempt 50+.
He was actually really quite a bad kicker his entire Bengals career. I don't feel the need to keep bashing him for it, but I can't stay silent while people are calling his tenure with the Bengals "good".
Yeah, he wasn't that good, so if pointing that out is bashing him, then I guess I'll keep on bashing him. One big point in his favor: when he did screw up we weren't subjected to his braying sister shrieking at his critics. Yep, I'm looking at you, Shank.
