A Landry Led Offense

[NorthCoast]

Landry... 24 of 37 for 275 and 3TD's... and a really bad INT.

Not bad. I think we keep him until Ben retires.

With the qualifier this was against the 31st ranked defense in the NFL. I wasn't a fan of the play calling so I suppose the positive is he was able to overcome his own OC.

Landry Jones is just the modern day version of Cliff Stoudt.

[SidSmythe]

Yeah. I can't think of any backup QB's who can lead their team's on 6 game winning streaks (and probably only a handful of starting QB's).

I didn't mean a 6 game winning streak but leaving ur team in a position to win a division or make the playoffs in the event he would be needed to fill in for a significant period of time

Once Haley took the handcuffs off things werent that bad.

Landry played well, the question with Landry as well as most career back up QB's is consistency.

[papillon]

You mean more of this?

115 wins
64.1% completion percentage
43,554 passing yards
278 touchdown passes
94.0 quarterback rating
15 rushing touchdowns
11 postseason wins
2 Super Bowl titles
And a lock for the HOF

How much longer will Steeler fans have to deal with such mediocrity?

Hopefully, for 5 or 6 more years

Without Landry would we have made the playoffs last year? IIRC, he won a few games for us when Ben was out. Looked pretty OK in them as well. Of course there were some other games he didn't (didn't Ben have to come in "off the bench" once to relieve him?). I guess that's why he's not starting somewhere!

Before the Cleveland game Jones had all of ONE good game.
Outstanding game against AZ last year coming in for struggling Mike Vick. He came in in the 3rd and played less than a half.
Other than that he lost every game he had significant minutes in.
This weeks game is the only game that LJ played an entire half that we actually won the game.

We blow that one quarter and a half versus AZ WAY out of proportion, LJ is horrible.

I say we get a guy who started for awhile but got beat out, like we had before. Heck I am interested to see what Zach looks like next preseason with a year in the system.

I would not describe his play as 'well' but rather OK. And yes, Landry is inconsistent. Some of his passes were just plain awful but I give the benefit of the doubt that he just hasn't gotten first team reps.

btw, second week in a row where the offense seemed to be lackluster thru 3/4 of the game. Different QB, same modus operandi. What gives? Does this imply OC is to blame?

Uh-oh ... now you did it. Now you can expect some of the resident cheerleaders to jump all over you and imply that you can't possibly be "a real Steelers fan."

YES absolutely

Yeah...just like our coach is a cheerleader...

Clearly some define "cheerleader" as a person of superior intellect.

Early on Landry was being too protective with the football. He was throwing deep balls where no one really had a chance to catch them (out of bounds).
