Also I like how you passed over the dreadful practice and preseason Elliot had, the Bengals gave him every opportunity to win the job, last year there was pressure on both kickers neither were perfect but Bullock outperformed him and then clearly was more accurate last year. To be honest not sure why elliot matters this year, Bullock took the job performed above avg. And has the job now. You are being critical of Bullock, he made his only chance over 50, so be critical of organization for not allowing him more chances.

Bullock had a good year.  He's good.  Not great.  This Brown project has been going on for a while now.  Looks like part of a plan.  And it looks like the plan is getting pretty close to fruition.  Brown just has a better leg, probably by far, hits the ball better, just looks better at kicking a football.

This year is just a prelude to next year, where the big plan is really headed.   They want to have a good year this year and then next year, when this year's new guys have a year under their belts, be a force. 

That's why you replace the decent vets with guys with much more upside.  And you do it now, even if they aren't entirely ready, so they will be ready next year.  Brown is, imo, a definite part of that plan.  No more stopgap kickers.  Marv wants his own Tucker.
