I wasn't as anti-Jones as some, but he is wearing on my patience and causing concern whether he can make it.
I'm still more concerned about the 1st round pick Jones who is suppose to starter than the 4th round pick Jones who is not intended to play except for a disaster. I do find it kinda funny that the 4th round Jones is getting destroyed and the 1st round Jones is getting a pass for doing pretty much nothing.
Aren't we a fickle and wierd bunch??????"My team, may they always be right, but right or wrong...MY TEAM!"Comment

First round jones ended his disappointing rookie year with 9 tackles and a sack, his first action in preseason had a really nice sack.I wasn't as anti-Jones as some, but he is wearing on my patience and causing concern whether he can make it.

4th round Jones looks lost and scared (scared is justified being behind that oline) but theyve been saying hes been struggling bad with finding an open reciever even in practice, when bullets arent flyingComment

Not really, the limited action 1st Jones has had has been good and reports out of camp are good as well. If he stays in the tub or looks lost yet again beginning 9/2 then I'll be concerned. I'm not all that concerned about 4th Jones, because if they cut him, they cut him, big deal a 4th round 3rd string QB.I wasn't as anti-Jones as some, but he is wearing on my patience and causing concern whether he can make it.

So, I don't think we're being fickle, until 1st Jones sees more playing time he'll get the pass you mention. I think we'll see him vs the Eagles, anxiously awaiting the Worilds, Shazier, Timmons and Jones debut actually.

When guys such as Wexell are tweeting about how shocking it is that L. Jones had a single good practice, it's time to cut bait. Almost all other reports say he's not had a good camp. And 4th round Jones isn't getting a pass because he's not shown a single play that showed potential. When I watch him play; its shocking he played Division 1 football. 1st round Jones looked lost but showed flashes (and looked decent in limited action this year with camp reports all being positive), 4th round Jones shows no acumen whatsoever to being a football player.
Pappy mentioned it and I mentioned it in another thread, but why is Kay (U of Cincy) not getting a cursory look? I can't fathom being worse.sigpicComment

My patience with L. Jones is also beginning to wear thin. I like to give players, especially QBs, time to develop but I need to see some improvement. He looks as lost this year as he did last year.
I am really impressed with how well Jimmy Clausen is looking with Chicago and I was never a Clausen fan.As many on this site think ... The Rooney's suck, Colbert sucks, Tomlin sucks, the coaches suck, and the players suck.
but Go Steelers!!!

That left a mark. Gabbert is just terrible. I laughed. When he came into the 9ers game last week; the announcers said, right away, "The coaches for the 49's said it's not a matter of if Gabbert ends up a starting NFL QB, but when." Right after they said that, he threw a terrible pass, and then continued to play awful the rest of the game. He is just horrid.Comment

I have always hated Clausen even coming out of high school heading to ND. He was beyond cocky. I think he needed life to beat him up a bit and I believe the NFL has done that to him. When I saw a Clausen was in the game, I wondered who it was; I didn't realize it was _that_ Clausen. And, yes, he looked good. He finally must have had a light get switched on.My patience with L.

Ovi's dislike for Jarvis Jones doesn't make any sense. It's a waste of time to even respond to those posts. I don't quite understand his agenda against the guy but it has nothing to do with him as a football player. Yet, he has a love affair with Timmons... How can you hate on JJ's rookie year but yet defend Timmons' rookie year. It's laughable.Not really, the limited action 1st Jones has had has been good and reports out of camp are good as well. If he stays in the tub or looks lost yet again beginning 9/2 then I'll be concerned.

Maybe you'll be happy with Landry Jones in 2017...Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.Comment

It's cause their QB is a better leader than our QBDid anyone watch the Denver game last night? Zac Dysert was playing in the 4th quarter with scrubs and played well, he wasn't making bone headed plays, ate it if he had to and made some nice throws. I'm sitting there thinking, why couldn't the Steelers find someone similar that isn't panicking at the first sign of pressure. Oh well, Grad and Jones looked really bad, IMO, and if there are other options out there I'd be looking that's for sure

thats why their back ups play better
