Landry Jones still unsigned

Even if Allen's injury isn't bad, I'd still think the Bills would be better off with Landry.
He is no Allen, but he sure isn't Peterman either.
Landry career: QBR 86.2, INT % 4.1 (and his 2017 numbers were better)
Peterman career: QBR 29.9, INT % 11.4 (and his 2018 numbers are even worse)

 

Honestly, this is the second year that Peterson has been the WORST QB in the league and its not even close. I don't know how he is still employed.

 

For this year, he was the better option for the Steelers. They chose to roll the dice and hope Roethlisberger manages to stay healthy. Given his experience working in the Pittsburgh offense and building timing and relationships with those players, he was more valuable to the Steelers than he is to other teams.

That the Bills are stupid enough to go with Peterman isn't all that relevant to the point. The only way we will really see if the Steelers were right is if Roethlisberger gets hurt this season.

 

He doesn't fit a lot of systems out there so signing him to immediately start or backup if he doesn't fit their system is a steep learning curve. If he was a west coast QB or RPO type he would be signed by now. Not a lot of teams that use a spread offense where the QB is most comfortable in shotgun. Really surprised by how much KC runs that style

 

I never said Jones was anything special. He was just their best second-string option for this season. Y'all can claim what other teams do is somehow evidence to the contrary if you like, but that is not correct. The only real evidence would be if Roethlisberger goes down this season and we see if Dobbs can do something of value in meaningful playing time. Jones has done that in a regular-season game. Dobbs has not.

 

Your is very close to being another way of saying exactly what I've been saying, except that would really only apply if that playing time for Dobbs happened this season. I have no problem conceding that he likely has more upside beyond 2018 than Jones, but the question was this season. The only way to measure that would be if Dobbs has to play this season, though to be fair, if Roethlisberger stays healthy all season, you can say the gamble paid off.

 

Yet he was 'next man up' in Pittsburgh for several seasons.

 

"Laundry Jones" picked up by the Jagoffs!!!!!!

 

Yeah, just saw that. It would be strange if we had to play against him at some point.

 

You mean like in three weeks?

 

Of course, I disagree. If Dobbs doesn't get to take a meaningful snap, it proves nothing other than the Steelers got lucky. Given that Roethlisberger had to play through an elbow injury and now he is playing with a broken finger, too, I do wonder if Jones might have taken some snaps already but they know Dobbs isn't ready.

 

Footage of Landry Jones pre game peering across the field at the team that cut him. Hoping for a chance to cut them back...

 

I don't think Ben's elbow injury or his current finger issue would be enough of a concern to get LJ snaps if he was here either. Unless you are talking about kneel downs. I'm pretty sure they didn't shun Dobbs in any situations that have occurred to this point with the thought they would of went with LJ if he was here. Everything being the same there isn't a game LJ would of won for us besides possibly the Cleve. games. Which is his specialty....

 

It's a un winnable argument either way unless someone can invent a time machine that also computes all the different variables involved to come up with a definitive answer....it is Halloween....Ouija board anyone?

 

Agreed, he's well schooled in clipboarding and taking a knee in the final seconds.
