Quote:When did I ever say Scobee struggled last year?  He didn't.  And use all the hyperbole you want, he didn't kick it into offensive linemen.  The defensive line got penetration and blocked it, but blame Scobee for not sky hooking it over their heads if you wish.  Scobee has had like 5 seasons that were worse than last year, but nobody called him a bum then.

 

I don't know how an incumbent loses his job by making every kick.  Stop apologizing for EVERY move the Jags make.  They thought they found a new young stud and jettisoned a good kicker.  They got burned and refuse to admit the mistake by bringing Scobee back now that they can.

 

Even by his standards, he admitted he didn't play well last year.  Guess what?  That carried over to this season too.  There's a reason he's got extra time to work on his golf game right now.  It's not because he's so good at his craft that he doesn't need to worry about it.  He's out of the league.

 

Nobody is apologizing for the move.  Scobee was done.  That's proven to be true now.  Myers showed a bigger leg than the veteran in training camp.  He also was significantly cheaper at the position.  At the end of the day, the team would be better off if neither of them was on the roster, and there's a good chance that happens.

 

To say the team got burned is laughable.  Scobee wasn't the better of the two kickers.
