Scott is 27 and has one year as a replacement level starter. Last year, he was roasted for over 600 receiving yards and a 118.5 Passer rating allowed when targeted per Pro Football Reference to go with 10 missed tackles.   He's the equivalent of a Bobby Hart type signing.  I am just not comfortable handing him a starting job without competition.  He is by every estimation the weakest starter penciled into the lineup right now.

I think with Nick Scott, he's more of a traditional box SS and less of a coverage safety.
I think if the team wanted more of a coverage guy, they would have gotten someone like Taylor Rapp or John Johnson (who is still available).
I'm not saying I agree with the decision (in fact I never had Scott on my radar for safeties to replace Bell with), but it might be a reality that we have to deal with.
