I seem to recall that Forbath, after starting out a bit shaky, seemed to settle down nicely and do a decent job for the Vikings. Hit a huge field goal for the Vikings to take a lead late in the playoff game last year against the Saints.

I know that Ficken was an easy choice for the Rams because of the familiarity they have in each other in addition to GZ supposedly only going to be out for a short while. However, seems to me that GZ has become an injury concern after last year and now this year and if the Rams end up looking for a longer term alternative to GZ then I'd prefer Forbath over Ficken. All that said, I am a big GZ fan and would prefer him back and healthy over any other kicker.
