If he makes a game winner, I'll happily eat crow.
Bullock has missed a few game winners in his career, but I look at it like this. In a league where most games are won by a small margin, all kicks are big. Bullock is probably going to hit more kicks than Elliott would have. Like Marvin said, they would've kept Elliott if the competition were even close. It wasn't close.
So if Bullock is (by most estimates) average at best, what does that make Elliott? By the sound of things, I'm starting to wonder if the Bengals will even offer Elliott a PS spot. Judging by Marv's comment, it seems they're pretty disappointed with their 5th rounder.
All this said, I'm not content with Bullock and think they should bring someone else in...although it seems the Bengal thing to do is roll with the average guy they know rather than try to upgrade at the last minute.
