SO APPRENTLY SCOBEE WAS HURT

http://www.steelersdepot.com/2015/1...d-quad-strain-prior-to-release-from-steelers/

Why the hell was he out there if he was hurt. What a bunch of morons


three teams are interested in scobee

 

AS the article clearly states he was never on the injury report so it probably happened on Thursday. Perhaps that's why he wasn't given the opportunity to try anymore field goals that night?

 

We all knew there had to be an excuse! Heaven forbid he'd come out and say that he just plain sucked!

 

We need to reach out and drop kick him in the ass. Steelers should recover all money paid to him if it was unknown to the team too

 

Probably finding a scape goat and having to do something to save face.... but the story sounds like a bunch of BS to me. Seems to me Scobee pulled both kicks left of the upright..... not a sign that he was weak in the legs with a pulled quad. Sorry, sounds like a reporter excuse or made up by Scobee to save face.

 

My question is if someone else picks him up yet this year do we still owe him $2.5 million or is the next team responsible for the rest of that money?

 

Sigh.............

 

Awww, I feel badly that I kicked him when he was down if, in fact, he was hurt.

With that being said, the other three teams can have him.

 

i was hurt by scoobee.

 

The only things that are hurt on Scobee is his pride and his former football team- the Steelers.
If Scobee did get hurt on Thursday, and I was a kicker, I wouldn't be signing with us- Our kickers are dropping left & right.

 

wide left and wide right.

 

He got the 2.5 million guaranteed leaving us with a 2.5 mill dead cap hit for this year: Boswell signed up for a cheaper contract......Chris Boswell signed a 2 year, $1,100,000 contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers, including an average annual salary of $550,000. In 2015, Boswell will earn a base salary of $390,000. Boswell has a cap hit of $390,000.

 

Dang! Talk about "cheap" labor!

 

and Barth is back in Tampa
I hope this kid works out

 

Man must be nice to collect 2.5 million for 4 games played and then get paid even more after failing miserably in the first 4 games. The only people I know with a better gig are the weather folks who can be wrong 99% of the time and keep their jobs...

 

Interesting.....

 

I didn't like the trade when it happened. And STILL don't get why they even did it to begin with. Even if Scobee turned out to be good for this team, I still think it was too much to give up on a player that everyone KNEW was going to be cut. At least they got something out of the Giants for Wing to help offset the Scobee trade

 

i didn't know we traded wing .. what they got ? a 7th ?

 

I forgive them for trying since kickers are directly responsible for putting points on the board, and also for keeping them off. If Scobee was their guy, then I applaud them for making a move to acquire him before anyone else with a problem kicker could pick him up. I didn't think it would turn out this bad, considering his relatively successful career. I think kickers are worth a good investment, and I would even draft one pretty high, like 3rd round high, in order to secure one. So to give up a 6th for Scobee, in my mind, wasn't bad.

Again, this all hinges on the team believing that he's the best guy available. Panicking and throwing a 6th a someone to get any old kicker is a different story when there are plenty of pedestrian kickers to be had off the street.
