I've studied Domingue extensively. Awards are only worth the production behind them. He was a Lou Groza semifinalist, btw.
After he missed 4 of his last 7 FG's of 2015 he didn't make the final cut.
So far over his career he trails Nick Rose in 40+ accuracy, longest made FG, and touchback percentage. All areas displaying leg strength.
As for 39 or less and overall accuracy they're even. Which as I said means we now have a consistent kicker from reasonable distance.
He's yet to show elite accuracy the likes of Dawson (59/79, 75%) and Tucker (40/48, 83%), who had those high rates over MANY more attempts.
Expect a kicker with Rose-like consistency and a less powerful leg, which is nothing to be ashamed of as Rose has a booming leg...
Domingue:
15/21 (71%) all distances
12/15 (80%) from 39 or less yards
3/6 (50%) from 40+ yards
Longest FG - 45 yards
35/83 (42%) touchbacks
Nick Rose:
27/38 (71%) all distances
16/20 (80%) from 39 or less yards
11/18 (61%) from 40+ yards
Longest FG - 51 yards
153/281 (54%) touchbacks
Sure he can improve distance aspects in his second year starting, but past production trumps assumed improvement until it's realized on the field.
We should all just be glad we now have an 80% kicker from 39 and closer.
