Pure speculation. Forbath never kicked for us and with a full season, who knows how things would've went? Forbath has been a very accurate kicker in the past so maybe he just needs some stability. He'd certainly get that in Cincy. He only had 15 attempts last season. Hardly a big sample size. I wonder what Nuge's season % would've been had we cut him after the Panthers game in '14.

If you want to criticize the Bengals for this then you also have to criticize every other team in the league.
You are just trying to make yourself look smart by using the amazing gift of "20/20 hindsight". That is lame.
I am not criticizing the Bengals for not seeing that Boswell was/is a great kicker. I'm criticizing them for not even attempting to give Nugent any serious competition over the last 7 years. Again...do you disagree with me there?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
