Whichever guy we keep, I hope they make EVERY kick they attempt.  And, wish the other nothing but success.  

It's worth it because kickers aren't as static as you seem to think they are. Injuries, bad play...there will be turnover this year just like every year. If he's cut outright, he's free to sign anywhere he's needed. If he's plucked off the Bengals PS, he has to go on someone's roster. The Bengals invested a draft pick for him so there's a pretty good chance they want to keep him in the bank, in case he's needed in a pinch. 

Unless you like signing another retread that probably won't work out for the long run.
