This is an interesting nugget, and it says something about this franchise that we hold our kickers to a much higher standard than our other players or our coaches.

It's not that we can't find a kicker, it's that any kicker we find is going to miss a few FGs. And we've decided that's unacceptable. But players/coaches that make mistakes? They just need more time. It's a weird double standard that has been here since the Cerrato days.

This is actually probably really interesting, and pretty true. I'll say this, out of our last few kickers; releasing Gano I didn't really understand for Cundiff, and he's doing pretty well in Carolina. Shaun Suisham I still dislike to this day; and he needed to go. Guy choked in the biggest situations.

I know Forbath hasn't been great this year, but field goal wise, I'm still pretty happy with him. He also tends to be pretty clutch. However, I'm 100% on board with carrying two kickers and just letting Potter boot it out of the endzone. Forbath is a liability on kickoffs.

SO true. Typically, I'm firmly against having two kickers, but in this case if it was all but guaranteed he'd boot into the end zone, I'd be all over it.
