One of my favorite lines from a fellow coach was on the word "potential"  it means have not done shit yet..lol.. 

Do you happen to have any stats on how many times we punted when we were on the 35 to 40 yard line? Because Bullock attempted exactly 1 50+ yard field goal. And it was 51 yards.

Meanwhile, Elliot was 5 for 6 from beyond 50 yards with a long of 61.

Sure, Bullock hit more kicks that his team asked him to take. But how many kicks did we not even attempt because we KNEW Bullock could not hit them?

Elliot had a few hiccups between 30 and 39. He was a rookie. But he was 12-13 from 40-49. So he was by no means erratic, as you're trying to paint him.

It was a mistake to cut Elliot. The stats show it.
