The Bengals already had the chance to replace Nugent with a better kicker and they passed. I'm not sure why people think the only thing stopping the Nugent from being replaced is that a better kicker hasn't shown up.
Nugent was a better kicker than Brown at the time we decided to keep Nugent.
In 2012 Brown was on the street without a job when we signed him after Nuge got hurt. At that time Nuge had a career .839 career FG percentage and was coming off a year where he finished 2nd in the league in FGs (33) and 8th in FG% (.868). Brown had an .808 career FG percentage and was coming off a year where he only hit .750 of his FGs and got cut by the Rams.
