A Landry Led Offense

[Oviedo]

I think ink a lot of fans have an unrealistic expectation for a backup of a 100 million dollar QB.

Do ya think? Unrealistic expectations..say it isn't true.

[Eich]

I'm satisfied with Landry as the backup. If he's satisfied being a career backup, I'd keep him here for years. He's young now and has performed well enough when needed.

[Real Deal Steel]

Landry Jones is terrible. Even as a backup. Against a crediable team, going forward, I don't think he can win us a game. And that's what you want a backup to be able to do.

Now that Mettenberger has been here for a minute, I'd like to see where he's at in his ability to be a backup.

Landry was the QB of record 4 times in the last 2 seasons, and 3 of those games were against playoff teams (thus, credible teams) and his record is 2-2 (beating the 13-3 Cardinals in 2015, losing to the 11-5 Chiefs at Arrowhead in 2015, losing to the 14-2 Patriots in 2016, and beating the 1-15 Browns in 2016). For a backup QB, that's not terrible.

Agreed. And I don't think that Charlie Batch (in his good days with us) would have fared any better. Hell, we likely would have been 2-2 against the same teams with Ben at the helm.

[Eich]

Backup QB is one of the least of my worries. We need an upgraded defense. And we need all playmakers on offense healthy and off drug suspensions: Bell, AB, Martavis, Rogers even a healthy Coates. You give Landry a full arsenal of weapons on offense and a good defense and he'll win a game against a credible team IMO.

I respectfully disagree. Beating the Browns?...I'm not going to talk about the worst team in the league.

The Cardinals game is where he threw a TD pass to Bryant but Ben did the heavy lifting before that.

Now I agree that back up QB isn't as pressing as our other needs. But still, Landry is terrible. He can't start a game from the beginning and win a game for us against a crediable team. I haven't seen it yet.

Please name all the back up QB's who beat those teams he lost to.

Backup QB's aren't supposed to beat those teams. At most they keep you close enough for your stars to win those games.

If a backup QB can't keep your team competitive for a start or two for you, then what's the point? A back up QB is suppose to be able to credibly fill in for the starter for a game or two. Crediably being the key word. Landry Jones can't start a game and keep us competitive against a crediable team.

And that's all you want from a back up QB. I'm ready to see what Metenberger has to offer. We've seen enough of Jones to know what he offers.

We were competitive in every game with Landry Jones. What games where you watching?

It was 14 to 10 at the half vs NE
it was 9 to 3 at the half vs KC

just admit you have no idea what you are talking about.

You said Ben did the heavy lifting before Jones came into the AZ game. Vick was the QB in the AZ game and we were losing 10 to 6 when Jones entered the game.

Jones isn't anything special but he keeps us competitive in games that most backups would get blown out in.

[The Man of Steel]

Steelers fans forget that we had Mike Tomczak as a backup for 7 seasons and statistically speaking he was much crappier than Jones. You just can't expect a lot from your backup QB.

Such bitterness because someone doesn't agree with your position. We've all watched Jones. And I have stated my case with him. I don't agree with you and quit frankly think your flat out wrong about him. Jones is garbage. But him continuing to be a Steeler is just another bad decision in a laundry list of bad decisions. Hopefully Ben can play all 16 games.

[feltdizz]

Bitter? You have post about fans taking it in the rear.

All I'm doing is calling you out on your misinformation.

Please list all all the problems with a Steeler team who lost to NE in their house in the AFCCG.

Now, "bitterness" is how we refer to countering opinion with facts?

That's disappointing...but, denial in the face of factual information is the world we live in these days...

yeah, they talk tough but as soon as you use facts all of a sudden they become super sensitive and get all up in their feelings.

All I did was prove he was wrong about Ben doing the heavy lifting before Landry entered the AZ game and post the halftime scores of the 2 games we lost.

Thats bitterness?
