Scott has done well in the preseason, but let us not forget the competition level he played against. Also, everyone is basing it only on the pre and not training camp, where as others like Norv when he was with SD and JH here have seen things upclose. Until Scott faces stiffer competition we will have to wait and see. Kaep may not come across as fluid as ST, but then again he maybe like Larry Bird, not pretty looking, but gets the job done.
If the kid gets the points on the board, I can live with ugly. People were saying all kinds of things about Randy Moss, but as his peer and fellow wr said all he does is score TDs, in the end that is all that matters.
Stop already with the harping about the competition he's facing. There is SOME truth to that, but when there are 300 pound behemoths literally in your face, or a 250 lb linebacker or safety barreling right at you, and you can still accurately deliver the ball to a receiver, then it doesn't really matter what "string" those guys are. Calm and accuracy under pressure, sometimes extreme pressure, and making the right reads, is the same no matter whether those guys are starters or not.
I don't get the point about "third stringers" since these guys are on the fringe of making the team and play THEIR ARSE OFF to make the team and the concomitant money that goes with an NFL salary. Quite literally, these "third stringers" are playing for their lives . . . or livelihoods
