    So one can compare.. here are the stats for kickers so far in 2016:

    0-19 yards: 8 out of 8 = 100%
    20-29 yards: 227 out of 235 = 96.6%
    30-39 yards: 260 out of 280 = 92.9%
    40-49 yards: 227 out of 280 = 81.1%
    50+ yards: 82 out of 143 = 57.3%

    Overall FG percentage: 84.8%
    Overall extra point percentage: 93.4%


    Now.. for Franks, his career extra point percentage is fine at 94.7% but his FG percentage is a horrible 78.4%. And he's 30th in the league in 2016!!

    Comparing his career splits (2015-2016) you have:
    0-19 yards: 1 out of 1 = 100%
    20-29 yards: 11 out of 13 = 84.6%
    30-39 yards: 10 out of 10 = 100%
    40-49 yards: 5 out of 9 = 55.6%
    50+ yards: 2 out of 4 = 50%

    The guy just isn't good from 40+ yards out. His stats are respectable for a kicker in the early 1990's, but kickers have improved by leaps and bounds since then. Guy definitely needs to be replaced (how he can have a job with 78.4% FG% is beyond me).

    Think it may have been 49ers game or Rams
