Comment (by grapplerulrich):

 Have you tried the patch with jQuery? I tried the patch with the following
 snippet and it did not work.
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 function grappler_move_jquery_to_footer( &$scripts ) {
     if( is_admin() ) {
         return;
     }
     $scripts->add_data( 'jquery', 'group', 1 );
     $scripts->add_data( 'jquery-core', 'group', 1 );
     $scripts->add_data( 'jquery-migrate', 'group', 1 );
 }
 add_action( 'wp_default_scripts', 'grappler_move_jquery_to_footer', 11 );
 }}}

 When I was trying to make it work I looked at
 https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/4.4-branch/wp-includes/class
 .wp-dependencies.php#L111. It adds the alias script to the header without
 checking the group.
