Well said, iapetus.
Ok... Sign Bullock to replace Myers. The dude has made 80+% of his NFL field goals, has a cannon for a leg, and was the former Lou Groza Winner (#1 PK in college football).
Quote:He's not good. How he managed to beat Josh out amazes me. The kid stinks on ice. Gotta look at the kicker position this week.
He stinks on ice, standing in a bucket of liquid Nitrogen.
Bring a guy up from the Arena League and expect him to be good.
Shame on us, not him.
Quote:Yeah, you didn't see what happened to Scobee in Pittsburgh, did you?
Sigh lets try this again, it was said in this thread that Myers beat out Scobee...which would obviously be before the trade. All I said was did Myers beat Scobee in the competition. I'm not saying slurp slurp sign Scobee...nowhere in this thread am I saying sign Scobee.
Trading Scobee was a good thing, Myers is still garbage though.
Quote:Sigh lets try this again, it was said in this thread that Myers beat out Scobee...which would obviously be before the trade. All I said was did Myers beat Scobee in the competition.
And all I'm saying is that after the trade Scobee was bad enough that there shouldn't be any question of whether he was beaten in the competition.
In all honesty, blame the GM for this one. We knew Scobee was steadily declining last year and could have picked up someone in the off-season. Leaving kicks on the foot of an arena league kicker is on Caldwell IMO.
Quote:And all I'm saying is that after the trade Scobee was bad enough that there shouldn't be any question of whether he was beaten in the competition.
but he wasn't beaten was the point, and Myers has been terrible, for all Scobee's issues he was at least missing in Pittsburgh, Myers missed what 3 in Indy's dome -_-.
Quote:He lost his confidence during the colts game and doesn't have the experience to get out of the slump. We should have kept scobee.
He had confidence to lose? Seriously, I wouldn't necessarily say he's sucking because he lost confidence but because he may simply not be very good.
Quote:Yup we should be 3-4 going into the bye, Meyers cost us and has to go
Hmmm... Then there's this. While it is quite easy to say we lost the game due to Myers (I mean, he missed the game winner...twice, realistically three times), there also is the case of the other games we very easily can argue should have been won but weren't. We should most definitely be better than 2-5 going into the bye, and Myers is far from the only reason. Just an easy scapegoat due to that one particular loss and his other misses.
Quote:Myers only made 24/38 in college at Marist for Pete's sake. Then he kicks indoor for arena league team. Then Gus hires him.
You know those big cooling fans that are about 6 ft. tall? The coaches should build a platform and stack 4 of those on top of each other and put them in various places to the side and in front of the goal posts. Then let him practice for hours on end and no sweet desert treat with assorted flavors of candies for him until he hits 10 for 10 outside of 40 yards.

THIS. Awesomeness. Except I don't think we should limit him to 40+. He struggles under 40 as well!
But seriously, there's another thread somewhere that I had just commented a day or two back that I believe(d) Myers would be alright and wouldn't miss more than 2 more PATs the remainder of the year. Very next game? He misses another. I retract that statement.
I do believe he is not good nor really worth a roster spot but Im not sure what other options we have currently.

It can't get worse. He already missed everything including extra points. What's the worst that can happen? We find another guy who also misses extra points?
Bullock is the best available. I've done some research today. Bullock was 10/11 FGs (91%) most recently in 2015.
Forbath may have been a good choice, but just got picked up in NOLA.
Is Long Ding still availabe? If so, sign him
Wasnt i screaming this before they let Scobee go but you guys were for the kid? Smh dont worry the train still in town , all aboard!

Who told you my nickname? Is my wife talking again?
Maybe try out Scobee. Sure, he failed in Pittsburg, but maybe if he comes back to familiar territory here in Jax, he'll be okay. Can't be worse than Myers.
Quote:Alright message board GMs.
Find me another kicker THAT IS FOR SURE BETTER than Myers or else you make yourselves look childish, Dumb, and ridiculous.

When FBT has given up on a player, you know it's time to move on.

TRUTH. FBT stays on the sinking ship til it hits the bottom of the ocean too.

Forbath missed a PAT for New Orleans today

Hahahaha yo... Chill out.
The guy has missed 3 XP and multiple game winners. How are you standing behind the man?
