But Brown is making us wonder if we should consider diverting from our regular pattern. They believe Bullock performed well enough to keep his job. But Brown is looking like he could become something very special. He came out of soccer as everyone knows. He's been learning how to kick a football for 3 years? If he can be consistent, he can compete with guys like Justin Tucker. Tucker's a freak, there's no doubt. But Brown's leg is stronger. Can he be as accurate? We don't know. Do you want to take that chance? I don't know. Don't you think it's worth considering? Yeah, it's a risk, but do you take it? 

The way I see it, the risk isn't going with a guy based on his upside or experience or so on.  Taking a risk would be going with the guy who lost the kicking competition, regardless of who it is.  When we kept Bullock over Elliot or Nugent over Brown it was the safe bet because we kept the guy who performed better in the competion.

A risk is saying that you want the guy who isn't superior based upon the evidence.  Think of Hue Jackson saying "Trust me, take Cody Kessler" and so on.
