Look, I know it's en-vogue to bash on Myers.  And here in the Jungle we like to find a player or a coach and just go nuts on thier ineptitude, IE Fish, Bradley, Alualu.

 

But I would submit, in the case of Myers that we maybe hold off for at least 1 season.

 

Is he inconsistent, yes.  But let's not forget that Scobee was not the model of consistency at first either.

 

Scobee's rookie year, he hit at a 77% FG rate.

 

Myers is hitting at 72%.

 

Yes, Myers is still off by 5% from Scobee's rookie year, but we're only through 6 weeks.  The kid clearly needs to pick up the pace.  But sometimes rookie kickers (yes, even Scobee) need to get used to the new expectations and pressures of the NFL kicking game.

 

Let's see this one play out before we flog the kid out of town.
