Who is the worst high pressure kicker in NFL history?
I don't see how it isn't Mike Vanderjagt.

Billy Cundiff no debate. I sitll cant believe he is the highest paid kicker in the history of the NFL. He took 3 years to juice out of his ******* mind then when they make PED rules he stinks like he did before his first year with us.

It's Vandy. But Kaeding is up there too.
But yeah, Vanderjagt hands down is the worst.

I understand that pressure kicks are attempted in the regular season, but true pressue comes in the post-season. With that said...
Norwood may have one of the most famous misses in NFL history, but he was 13-18 (72%) career in the playoffs and 2-3 in Super Bowls.
Billy Cundiff was 12-14 (86%) in the playoffs.
Mike Vanderjagt was 11-14 (79%) in his career in the postseason.
Nate Kaeding, on the other hand is only 8-15 (53%) in the post-season.

Kaeding is clearly Vanderjagts understudy but who's after Kaeding? The Chargers need to get back to the postseason for Kaeding to defend his title.

Medlock did attempt 2 regular season FGs making only 1 and was released after week 1.
1 name sticks out to me, Lindley Franklin Elliott Jr. he missed from 35, 39 and 42 in a 3 point game in a playoffs that the Chiefs had Home Field through out. mentioning his name in KC starts fights.

Medlock just didn't belong in the NFL and never should have been drafted. He certainly shouldn't have been drafted ahead of Crosby. I can't imagine what the Chiefs were thinking.
A lot of the guys being mentioned were just not great kickers. You have to figure that if a guy makes 75% of his FGs, he misses one of four. It's not a shocker if these guys miss some in the post season. Kaeding is a neat case because he really does seem to have choked his ass off.
Also, Norwood didn't have a very good hold on his kick. It's the most famous miss in NFL history, but it wasn't entirely his fault.
