the worst non story i have ever seen on steelers depot

does this mean landry is going to wear a glove on the hand he holds the clip board with.... if he ever makes it into a game we are so screwed he could wear a catchers mitt on his throwing hand and it wont make much difference... if you are realllllllly bored read on .. if not skip to the next post... yawn http://www.steelersdepot.com/2014/06/steelers-qb-landry-jones-to-wear-glove-on-throwing-hand/

I'm excited to see him in the preseason.

 

sure you are... a third string QB that overthrows 80% of his passes... of course you are excited...

Agree with your analysis ref. "non story". Lets move on!

 

I'm not counting Jones out at a good back up who one day will be able to come in and compete. He is a football junkie and his football iq is through the roof. They stayed in the shotgun at OU and its going to take some time and practice for himto get used to it. Let's judge a kid after his rookie season.

 

I like the Steelers. I'm rooting for him. I want to see if he plays better this year.

 

ben went through that glove thing too.

 

like to see kay from UC beat him out but dont think that has a snowballs chance in hell to happen but LOVE to see that ....

Yeah Mac but that was a love glove issue

This article made me laugh. Who the hell cares if he wears a glove?

 

Consider the source Steelers Depot enough said.

 

yep thats why i called it the worst article ever written .. slow news day i guess..

Personally, I think Gradkowski is the way to go and can be our Batch for years to come. He's a baller, the Garcia of today, and is home.

 

what is so special about gradkowski? he's no Charlie batch. Charlie was at least a starting qb in the nfl for years. so was Garcia. not the case with grad. I'm not sure why he's some kind of legend around here it seems like. of course he did beat us once.

 

he beat us once and i remember watching a bungals game while i was here in Myrtle Beach at oscard steelers sports bar one september .. of course i was rooting about against the bungals .. and he was the back up QB for some team.... maybe the browns? maybe tampa bay? dotn remember .. doesnt matter .. he had to start that day and beat the bengals.. ive love him ever since he won that game .. i always loved charlie when others said he was tooo old.. charlie had a way of keeping the steelers in the game... never had turnovers.. and jsut played to keep the game close and then let the D win the game in the end like 12-9 and his game plan usually worked.. i think grad is probably the same way.. smart... dont turn it over and hope to win in a close one... only difference is charlie had a great D to turn the game over to .. grad isnt that lucky anymore .. but in time of the new guys develop maybe he can use that theory?

 

Grad has started 20 games in his career, 11 in Tampa, 8 in Oakland, and one in Cleveland (against us). I think he is kind of a legend around here because he is a Pittsburgh native, and not a bad back up. I agree that he is no Batch, but it's not like he's a total scrub.

 

11 in 2006 plus 4 in 2007. 5 more since and wasn't very good in any of those. legend, not quite. this is not a quality qb we are talking about by any stretch of the imagination. a lot of guys have started games, it doesn't make them good.

 

I hope we don't have to find out.

 

I agree haha I'm not trying to anoint him Ben's successor or anything, but we could do worse at the back up QB position. I was just pointing out that he at least has some starting experience (only really somewhat successful in Oakland). I think he's gets his "fan favorite" status from being a local guy.

 

Tickles me when our QB's come up in discussion people start evaluating their performance ...hell it's been so long since i seen either one on the field i doubt i'd recognize them let alone state their capabilities. Thank God for jerseys


The glove worked for MJ might work for Landry!

 

Never said he was a legend, my consideration is merely BU material, but one that can stay around adding stability. I think he can be effective, like Batch, because everytime I've seen him start, even on bad teams, he was a gamer.

I haven't really noticed anyone else's support so have no idea about that aspect of it. I think he could be a good long term solution @ the position but we'll see. It's good to have reliable #3 always there so that we can look for the #2 guy.
