I don't disagree... McCoy is a scapegoat. I'm ok with that word. The team needed to show that they are doing something. Firing VJ looks bad on Elway, and firing anyone else either doesn't make much sense, or seem like it's actually addressing a "problem".
So... the word scapegoat isn't unfair at all.
At the same time though, McCoy's offense has sucked out loud for basically 9 out of our 10 games.
