Landry Jones

Hey all, it's been a long long time since I've been here. Hell, SR had to help me get online.
Feel free to bash the **** out of me because I deserve every single bit of it. I was a friend of Kip and SR, and I let them down in the biggest way ever possible. ... So let me have it. I deserve a ration of ****.
... But more importantly, our QB Landry Jones is my topic:
I have to say that I was one of the folks that said he should have been cut during preseason. His play was somewhat less than good. The offense seemed to "deflate" (pardon the pun) when he came into the game each and every time this past pre-season.... But that was just that.... Pre-season.
In my humble opinion we definitely have the proper backup for Ben in Mr. Jones. Vick can go find some dogs somewhere because he no longer has the skills of a young mobile QB that is attractive as a backup QB. Jones showed me something today. He showed a certain amount of "presence" under fire late in the game. And make no mistake, the game could have been lost at the point that he came in. Thankfully Vick had some sort of ankle twist to go along with the possible concussion issue. As long as Vick is off the field we are a better team.
Jones went 8/12 for 168 yards and 2 TD's while Vick did diddly squat the entire game, and really hasn't done **** other than a few passes last Monday night.
My point is that when Ben comes back, whether next week against KC or the following week at home v Cincy, we definitely have a quality backup and next star for our team. We do definitely not need the likes of Vick on this squad.
Ben is obviously the QB, but I urge everyone to believe that Landry Jones is a quality understudy and deserving of any sort of backup role. He will do his time on the bench, but it will serve him well, just like Rodgers in GB.
We got ourselves another QB, folks....
