    What's that say when your team's backup QB isn't picked up by anyone else in the NFL?

    It says he was a back up for a reason ..
    Who cares if he gets signed or not ,what would that even prove?

    It says business as usual. I'd guess 20-25 teams could swap out the backup QB and and no one would have much interest in the released guy. There was all this concern that the great Josh Dobbs would be scooped up one released. I suspect demand isn't as high as people think. Every team has a backup QB, and they are enamored with them. But They're slower to fall in love with someone else's reject.

    Not that I think dobbs is the cakes icing even in an eventual down the road thought... But he wasn't gonna last on the PS as things are. He earned his roster spot this season. Landry has done some good things here when needed at times but he has not grown into anything more than what he has been. The league has seen it as well and I imagine a team would have to be in really bad shape to bring in someone similar to who. They already have waiting in the wings.

    The cardinals have two overpaid backups Bradford and Glennon, Bradford 20 M and Glennon 4M to watch their rookie Rosen start sunday, and LJ never got to play in as many games as those 2 losers did to grow....

    We'll never know but I doubt it. Doubt they could have even snuck him on it. People keep forgetting that Landry is 30. Dobbs is 23.

    He was the obvious choice after turning in the preseason he did. His demand would have been higher then a career 30 year old backup had they cut him.

    Agree with this.

    It would be cool to see them send out Dobbs for a series tomorrow just to see the rats reaction. OK, well maybe not. Might just be the orange TN Vols koolaid talking.

    If I remember correctly, some people or maybe the whole forum wanted Jones out of Pittsburgh. So he is gone why is this thread on here.

    Tom Savage signed by 49ers...and Landry Jones is still not employed.... so you think we let go of the right QB...

    Jones can't be worse than Nathan Peterson and he is employed.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Landry and the Steelers have a nod nod wink wink arrangement to stay available in the off chance Ben goes down with a season ending injury... He would be Dobbs backup... they just couldn't take the chance of letting go of Dobbs because mason isn't ready..

    The Steelers system isn't like a lot of others so he isn't going to fit a west coast system or RPO type.

    If you are Jones, do you wait for a "what if" or do you sign an offer that pays?
    Jones isnt waiting on some special wink and nod arrangement. He isn't singed because he is just a guy.

    Landry Jones was named after Coach Tom Landry, and he is probably a distant relative of Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys. You would think they would give him job down there, handing out towels, or something.

    We won't know that for sure unless Roethlisberger misses meaningful time this season. If that happens and Dobbs steps in and plays badly enough to cost them a game or two, they made the wrong call.

    If Josh Allen's hand injury is bad, I could see him signing with the Bills because Peterman is so bad... typical Pitt product :lolol::lolol::lolol:

    You don’t actually believe that do you? Jones worked out for the Cowboys a couple weeks ago. Doesn’t sound like a guy sitting around waiting on the Steelers.

    So then that makes Landry Jones 3rd cousins with Jarvis Landry and Jarvis Jones? And where does Tom Jones fit in and why is there a drink called a Tom and Jerry? :shrug:

    I suppose it is possible he has been made low ball offers, but does not want to play cheap.
