Quote:There are more than a few calling for Myers replacement.  Sure he missed a couple of big kicks but also he made a few big kicks.

 

Let's compare his rookie season to Scobee

 

Scobee Rookie year: 24-31  77% with a long of 53

Myers Rookie year: 26-30 for 86% with a long of 58

 

The one knack on Myers is the pat's but they were moved back this year and scobee didn't have to deal with that.  Explain to me the hate on Myers so I can see where some of you are coming from.

 

It's understood by realistic fans that some kicks will get missed. His FG kicking was largely not the problem outside of him missing two shots at game winners in the first colts game, but I'll forgive him that, because of the team as a whole would start taking care of its own business then it wouldn't need the FG kicker to try to win the game against a team as bad as the colts, but I digress. The big problem with Myers is that he was far and away the worst kicker in the league when it comes to extra point kicking, and that's just not something you can have. Had he kicked his extra points through in the second tennessee game the Jaguars would have at least gone to overtime, the tennessee kicker didn't miss any of his extra points in the game, why should Jaguars fans settle for a guy that can't hit them on our team?
