It’s the same story with every franchise. Everyone
feels the need to hate on the kickers until the team is two points down and
forty yards away from the end zone with the clock winding down. There are few
Kickers in the NFL who are better in these game-winning situations than Josh Scobee,
and luckily he will remain a Jaguar for at least the next four years. Yesterday
Scobee signed a contract worth $13.8 Million, with $4.75 million guaranteed.
For some people this may seem like a hefty amount to
pay a Kicker, but for Jacksonville it was the right move. Josh Scobee has
developed a bit of a cult following in his years in Jacksonville and as I see
it is now one of the more popular players on the team. I’m not saying that if
the Jaguars were to lose Scobee in the near future it would be devastating but
on a team with two playoff appearances in the last decade, fans tend to latch
on to what bright spots they can find, and Josh Scobee delivered several happy
moments. So congratulations Josh, and thank you Jacksonville, for letting us
fans keep one of our favorite players. Now if we can just do the same for MoJo…
