The dude Sucks....period. Stop making excuses for the guy. He has been here 4 years now, and I KNOW the plays better then he does. He is a weak armed QB who's fastest 40 time was 7.89. On plays where it is like 3rd & 9...he throws constant little 3 yard out patterns. The guy is a Brain Dead Idiot.

[polamalubeast]

On the third drive....no excuse....checkdown on 3rd down and long....c'mon!!!!

Relax! It's preseason. They're keeping everything simple. Try not to judge the veterans and pay more attention to the young guys. On another note, get Shazier out of the game.

Sean Davis is all over the field. Missing some tackles, but putting himself in good position.

Exactly...it's SIMPLE...Basic SIMPLE plays playing against the opponents SIMPLE BASIC Defense...and Landry still SUCKS...In a offense he has studied for 4 years!! Look, the guy is just a Red Neck Moron...just cut him already. I mean I could be a better QB then him after just ONE WEEK of studying the Play book.

[RunNGun]

How you like that throw tho?

He's playing without Pouncey, Bell, and Brown. Don't look too deep into it. He looked very good on that drive.

Actually, that throw was terrible. It was short, and DHB had to make a great adjustment on the pass to get it. And...if that Lion defender would have been turned around...he would have had a EASY Interception. So...where you get this..." He looked very good on that drive BS " is beyond me!!



Jones SUCKS!!!

If you're comparing me to Hitler I am offended

[GRAYGHOST668]

preseason always sucks,it is hard for Jones to impress when he is playing with 2nd 3rd and 4th team players,they lose more of these than they win,,,all the bench warmers and new meat are playing,this is a time to see who stays and who goes,,,,,and for the most part they always look bad in preseason

Agreed. It's really all about seeing how the young guys react to some live action. Rarely is anything pretty. It's Steelers football though, so I can't help but enjoy watching.

...but, at least he's not from the ghetto.

Coates handling of the ball is a little alarming. It may be a case of first game jitters and him trying to do too much. Hopefully he cleans it up.

As long as he doesn't repeatedly insult people or violate a community rule he should stay. Ok, so he thinks L. Jones sucks. Big deal. He is most likely doing it to get a rise out of people.

[Steel Peon]

Is pre-season over yet?

[vasteeler]

he wasnt great but other than DHB his receivers were no help

[SteelerFanInStl]

Once again, we face the truth. None of our backup QBs are very good. Jones is simply the best of a bad group. Gradkowski looks terrible. He seems to have aged 10 years. He's got nothing left on his passes and as soon as he got hit, he was injured.

It's very possible Dallas found their successor for Romo.

Yes it's preseason but, Prescott looked like a vet and made great throws.

It's one game and I wasn't impressed. He was given great protection. Most of his passes came from shotgun too. His passes under center seemed to be dump-offs/screens.

My pick for the dumbest draft pick was Artie Burns in the first round.

Steelers Film Room: Breakdown Of QB Landry Jones’ Accuracy Against Lions



BY DAVE BRYAN (http://www.steelersdepot.com/author/davebryan/) AUGUST 14, 2016 AT 10:30 AM
The Pittsburgh Steelers dropped their preseason opener Friday night to the Detroit Lions at Heinz Field and while quarterback Landry Jones started the game and completed just 6 of 12 passes for 55 yards and a touchdown, the tape shows and good performance from an accuracy standpoint.
Jones actually attempted 14 passes in Friday night’s game and even though two didn’t count because of penalties, I will show you shots of all them.
Jones first attempt was a short flair-out to the right side to tight end David Johnson that resulted in a 2-yard gain.
http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-1.jpg (http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-1.jpg)
Jones’ second throw was to wide receiver Eli Rogers and while on target and completed, it was wiped out by a penalty.
http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-2.jpg (http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-2.jpg)
The following play, the Steelers faced a 3rd and 13 and Jones threw 21 yards over the middle to Darrius Heyward-Bey. While it’s tough to see if the underneath defensive back got a finger on the football, the pass still should have been caught. It’s fairly to register this one as a drop on the Steelers veteran wide receiver.
http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-3.jpg (http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-3.jpg)
Jones’ next pass in the game was deep down the right side to Heyward-Bey and as you can see below, it was off target and short. It was thrown 47 yards past the line of scrimmage on a 3rd and 16.
http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-4.jpg (http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-4.jpg)
While Jones may have forced this underneath throw to tight end Jesse James, it was on target. The Lions linebacker made a nice play to break this pass up, but even so, James probably should have caught this one.
http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-5.jpg (http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-5.jpg)
Two plays later on a 3rd and 8, Jones connected short and to the right to James for a 4-yard gain.
http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-6.jpg (http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-6.jpg)
Jones on target again to Rogers here in the second quarter for a gain of 8 yards.
http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-7.jpg (http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-7.jpg)
Jones was high to Heyward-Bey on this deep throw to the right side on a 2nd and 12 play. The play didn’t count, however, as the Lions were flagged for pass interference.
http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-8.jpg (http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-8.jpg)
A few plays after the penalty, Jones went deep to Heyward-Bey in the back of the end zone and the perfectly thrown pass was caught this time for a touchdown. 38 yards past the line of scrimmage on this one and it might very well have been the best deep pass Jones has thrown so far during his career.
http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-9.jpg (http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-9.jpg)
Late in the first half, Jones connected with wide receiver Sammie Coates on this short screen to the right side. The young wide receiver double-caught the pass, however, for no gain on the play.
http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-10.jpg (http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-10.jpg)
This short pass to young wide receiver Levi Norwood was also on target. It wasn’t caught, however, as it was broken up by the defender, who as you can see, went over the back. Pass interference wasn’t called on the play.
http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-12.jpg (http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-12.jpg)
While this pass to Coates might be considered a tad low, it was on target. Coates, however, fumbled the football after the catch.
http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-11.jpg (http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-11.jpg)
Jones’ next pass to Coates was a little low, but on target nonetheless. This is one Coates should have caught.
http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-13.jpg (http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-13.jpg)
Jones’ final throw in the game was perhaps his worst and he’s lucky Norwood got a hand on it as it likely would have been intercepted. It looks like he led the wide receiver just a little too far on the play.
http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-14.jpg (http://www.steelersdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/lj-pass-14.jpg)
As you can see, Jones could have very easily had three or four more of his passes completed Friday night. While it was far from a perfect outing, it certainly wasn’t awful from an accuracy standpoint.

My pick for the dumbest draft pick was Artie Burns in the first round.

i was referring to the fact that many linked him to the Steelers. Prescott looked more natural and talented than Landry ever has in an NFL uniform. Protection was great but I'm not sure pressure is always the problem with Jones.

[RunNGun]

How many years have people been watching football?? Everyone should know you can't judge a player in the pre season. Sure, Prescott looked good, but so did Limas Sweed and Dri Archer and many others. Everyone is ready to crown Prescott the steal of the draft in a game where the main objective is to not get hurt. Landry Jones is just fine as our backup QB.

[Born2Steel]

Man I hate to agree here, but......Landry Jones has always sucked. Nothing new to see here. Preseason, whatever. He doesn't look much better when the season goes live either. As bad as VICK was, he got the nod over Jones. I am not a Jones fan at all. That said, SteelerKitty should shut it down. Suicide? Really?

[steel striker]

Again it's the first pre season game relax and, Coats dropped and fumbled away twice. We have all seen HOF QB's look bad in pre season as well.

I really don't sense that anyone thinks an awful lot of Jones. That's what makes some of Steelerkitty's comments so ridiculous. The best Landry ever gets is faint praise. But yeah he did throw a nice pass to DHB. To say otherwise is flat out stupid! So when a couple people point out that he threw a nice pass there she goes all rude and insulting.

[86WARD]

Last preseason, Jones was far and away a better player than he was in previous seasons. He wasn't great or even good by any means, but he was somewhat serviceable at times. I would still rather upgrade him than go to battle with him at the helm...

Bad sign for the Steelers Defense....

[zulater]

Just read on DJ's site that Tomlin has no plans on playing Ben at all this preseason. Same goes for AB, LeVeon, and DeAngelo. Guess that means we better warn the authorities and put Steeler Kitty on suicide watch for the duration of the pre-season. :lol:

By the way I love this plan. Preseason games are worthless for established veterans, only gives them a chance to get hurt.

Hmmm, makes sense to me. These guys are all veterans who don't need the reps and we need to be 100% healthy at the start of the regular season. I'm sure that they'll be a bit rusty for the first game but realistically it shouldn't take long to shake that rust off.

This is a concern for me.The offense must play at least one quarter in the pre-season to not be too rusty for the start of season.

Ben wasn't even allowed in the building for the first month of the 10 season because of Goodell's suspension. Comes back for game 5 and throws 3 td's and leads the Steelers to a 28-10 win. LeVeon Bell last season, suspended first two games, comes back game 3 and gets 132 combined yards from scrimmage and a TD in helping the Steelers to a win over the Rams. (he had all of 10 preseason carries) College has no preseason. Except for rookies and marginal veterans trying to earn a roster spot there's nothing to be gained in preseason. They get all they need out of team scrimmages. They may be a little rusty, but no more so than if they had pretend played in exhibition games, all the while hoping not to get injured.

If this offense not play in the preseason, it would be a total of eight months without playing a game!It's one thing when it's just a player who misses a month, but it's another thing when this is the entire offense.

We'll see if it will have an effect for the start of season but in 2008, Peyton Manning missed the entire preseason and Manning had been terrible at this start of the season.I would like the offense sees some action in the preseason even if it is just a quarter

And if his knee is rolled up on by some scrub trying to make his mark in that quarter and he misses a month of real games is it worth it? By the way Ben had a total of 4 pass attempts the final two preseason games last season. Did he look rusty against the Patriots in week 1 last year?

Roethlisberger had playing for 3-4 drives against the Packers last year, so he saw a little action.I not ask for than Roethlisberger plays a lot in pre-season, but just a quarter.

You may be right, but if Roethlisberger plays only a quarter,the chances are very slim that he gets hurt.

[Hawkman]

I'm going to try this once more....Steelerkitty comes here to stir the shit and leave....go to his/her profile and check the post history....and we are on page three with this thread. Landry Jones is a backup....he will never be more than a backup. Get over it and Kill this thread!!!

[polamalubeast]

3 interception in the first half for Jones....1 pick 6 and 2 picks in the red zone....

[polamalubeast]

4 interception....

[ALLD]

At least he is consistent.

[steelerdude15]

4 interception....

Not all of the interceptions were Landry's fault.

On the first one, Sammie Coates ran a ugly hook route. His hook wasn't great because he made a wide hook instead of a quick one and he also didn't fight for the ball.

On the second one, the ball was thrown into the end zone and it was deflected into the air. It was single coverage, but another defender was in the area to get it.

On the third interception, Sammie needed to jump for that ball. If Sammie puts more effort into jumping for the ball, he probably has a touchdown.

On the final interception, Jesse James is beat by a simple rush technique and the defender hits Landry as he released the ball. It's not all his fault.

Agree for the 4th and maybe the second but the other 2 was just ugly.

I'm looking at Sammie more than anything on both of those interceptions.

The interception in the endzone was completely on Jones. He needed to throw the ball immediately, put more air under it, and throw it closer to the sideline and the back of the end zone. The throw needs to go in the corner high and outside so his receiver has the advantage.

That was not a professional throw in any way. That looked more like something you would see on Friday nights in a high school game. Jones has been horrendous in this game. There is no way to sugarcoat it.

If it weren't for a great catch by Coates on the sideline when he tapped his toes inbounds, he would hardly have any production at all in this game.

[BlackAndGold]

The RZ pick should have been called an PI.

[Hawkman]

The first one was the only one that I thought was a bad decision....bad play. PI/ wired deflection in the end zone on the second. Hit on the forth. I know it all comes back to him....but how about if he had all of his play makers with him, and we haven't guaranteed him $12,000,000, like the Eagles did for their #2.

Really have no idea what the coaching staff sees in him. They keep saying he is learning, he is picking up the playbook. You need to be able to play the game and he simply cannot

So I guess you're thinking that Ben with third and forth string play makers with no game planning, could pass for 300+ yards and score 30+ points?..... And I'm not even a Landry Jones homer. Oh and no Gilbert.

4 INTs in 1 half!!!! 2 in the redzone!!!! 1 pick6!!!!!! And people still make excuses for Landry Jones. In a team sport nothing is ever on just one guy. Sure the WR could have tried harder, sure passes can get deflected, sure refs miss PI calls, but damn it guys, that just doesn't happen to good NFL QBs or decent backups. He's just not football smart.

[tube517]

But does Sammie get paid to jump for the ball????? :chuckle:

All the progress Jones made last season was thrown out the window (and most likely intercepted) last night...

BR has put up some pretty bad stats also. Doesn't he have the worst QB rating in a SB at 22.6?

That being said, I think the Steelers should invest in the first quality QB let go.

[BigNastyDefense]

Does Landry suck? Yeah.

But here's the thing - there are 32 teams in the NFL and there aren't even 32 good STARTING quarterbacks. So it's kind of hard to expect teams to have very good backups.

At this point, Landry is the immediate backup to Ben this season. Bringing in another QB at this point might be worse than having Landry play if he absolutely has to. I hope he doesn't see the field unless the Steelers are up by 40, but if he does have to see the field hopefully he will have a fully healthy offensive line, Brown, and Bell/DWill on the field to lean on.

It isn't going to matter who is the backup, he likely isn't going to be good unless we take a QB in the first or early second round. And I don't see the Steelers taking a QB that high as long as Ben is in uniform for them.

[RunNGun]

Tired of defending Jones but I'll do it again this week. Once again, he was without our 3 most proven playmakers in Bell, Brown, and Williams. Coates showed a lack of effort on 2 of the picks, which is way more alarming than Jones performance because he will be on the field come September. Stop judging him from these meaningless, vanilla preseason games. He's a quality backup quarterback who can get the job done. Get off his d***.:wave:

[Dwinsgames]

as someone mentioned on twitter today keep an eye on the jets QB situation , they are not keeping four and all of them are an upgrade over Jones

[Count Steeler]

Better Jones, with the full arsenal of weapons and 50% of the playbook, then someone like Vick, with the full arsenal and maybe 10% of the playbook.

Players on the field also make a difference. If Jones has the full compliments of weapons, he can do better. No doubt there can be an upgrade at backup QB, but what cost and how long before the QB can contribute, if he has to?

[Born2Steel]

Not his first game. He's not a rookie. Personnel doesn't make 4 picks happen. He personally cost us 2 tds and gave up 1 on a pick 6. That's on him. Are there worse QBs in the league than Landry Jones? Yes! But I don't want them either. Been screamimg this for 3seasons now. We have to upgrade at the backup QB position. Don't need a superstar allpro either, just somebody that can run our offense and not commit turnovers. Landry Jones is not the guy.

While I don't want to see Jones either I am going to call it like I see it. One of those Interceptions should have been pass interference, one he was hit as his arm was going forward...not much you can do about that, one was a timing route and one that coates did not beat the defender to the spot. IMHO only the pick 6 was on Jones.

People need to stop calling for the pass interference call. If they made the call on the field, it would have only bailed him out on a terrible throw. He threw it on a line into the back of the defender when the throw called for him to put it over the top and outside. It was an horrendous throw. He doesn't get excused because we think an official missed a call while making a putrid throw.

Jones has some worth, and he has shown a few flashes of playing well. But he has not shown that he can play with any consistency or that he's a guy that can step in for Ben in an extended role and get it done.

The Steelers need another option, because it appears Gradkowski can no longer hold up physically.

why we do not get the Jets on the phone and inquire about Petty is beyond comprehension to me ... they can't and won't keep 4 QB's

Fitz is the starter
Geno Smith is the only guy with starter exp behind him
Hackenberg is a high pick rookie not close to ready
Making Petty the odd man out and he has looked pretty good in the preseason , plenty good enough to merit shipping a conditional day 3 pick to the jets for his rights

Landry Jones is our backup QB. Get used to it. I get so annoyed by fans who are ready to hang a guy after preseason games. It just confirms that they know nothing about football. Preseason performances have never ever dictated how that player will perform in the regular season. Wait until Ben misses his usual 2 to 4 games to judge LJ. If he's horrible then, which I highly doubt he will be, then you can tie him up. All of Kozora's reports on Jones at camp have been positive for the most part. I'd pay more attention to that than a meaningless preseason game. Let me repeat, LJ IS OUR BACKUP QB.

you should rely on your on eyes in games ( even preseason ) more so than someone else's in a camp setting without pads or contact in 7 on 7 drills ... news flash when teams are not playing vanilla it gets harder not easier if you suck when it is designed to be vanilla you normally REALLY suck when the lights come on and its for real ...

but what do any of us know since in your words we know nothing about football ...

might wanna look in the mirror before throwing stones to see what your target looks like

I'll stand by exactly what I said. Preseason doesn't mean jack shit especially for veteran players. Jones was without Bell, Brown, and DeAngelo, as well as, playing with a bunch of unproven players. If he performs terribly in the regular season, which I hope he never has to do, then I'll eat my words. Until then, nothing he does in the preseason is going to sway my opinion.

The personnel on the field with Jones has/had nothing to do with his lack of accuracy and poor decision making. Like I said before, this is not his first season. He has made ZERO improvement since his rookie season. He may be a great guy and a wonderful family man and humanitarian, but he is no NFL caliber QB.

It has everything to do with a QBs decision making. He likely doesn't have as much confidence throwing the ball to Coates compared to AB, or checking down to Touissant compared to Bell. I would like to see what Ben would have done with that personnel. I'm not saying he'd throw 4 picks, but I can guarantee you he wouldn't be throwing darts all over the field like we're accustomed to.

we know they are keeping Smith and Foles but someone is going to go between Murray and Hogan and both of those guys IMO could become a quality backup /fringe starters

as a side note , many are starting to think it could be Geno Smith who doesn't make the grade in Jets land since Petty has looked so good Smith could be the guy on his way out ..tons of talent we seen it at wvu but for whatever reason the light has not come completely on in NY

Roethlisberger was not bad with a similar personal against the Broncos(Best defense in the NFL) in the playoffs last year!

The only difference is that Ben had Bryant and he had Wheaton instead of Eli Rogers.

Right you are, but he wasn't as lethal with all of his weapons out. I guess what I'm saying is I will hold judgement until LJ has to play in the regular season with a gameplan and a full arsenal of weapons.

[LloydWoodson]

The Steelers need a backup QB that can steal a game or two if Ben goes out in the regular season.

Charlie Batch was excellent because he had starter experience and was a good teammate as well happy in his role.

Hard to find a competitor who doesn't want to start for another team that is willing to be more than a stop gap.

Steelers should be looking for veteran QBs as backups going forward. It is just hard to find good ones that aren't a big cap hit and don't want to jump ship after one or two years.

Agreed. People think that backup QBs grow on trees. Steelers are in a very good situation at the QB position compared to a lot of other teams. We don't know how good we have it. I believe Landry Jones is fully capable of leading us to at least .500 if Ben goes down. (Knock on wood)

[polamalubeast]

19/22 206 Yards(9.4 YPA),1 TD 0 int,QB rating of 120.8 for Jones.

[st33lersguy]

Much better. I think having Bell, DWil, Wheaton, and some starting O-line protection helped.

[BlackAndGold]

Jones had a nice TD pass to Coates. The throw looked easy, seemd like he knew that Coates would be open as soon as the ball got snapped.

He had a rough game against Philly, but the receivers have to help him out.

[RunNGun]

Amazing what he can do when he has more weapons. Where are the haters this week?

[GBMelBlount]

Jones is not always consistent but he is a decent backup and I think he can get us through a few games at .500 with the personnel we have.

Which is all you can really ask of a backup QB, unless you're dilusional. You can't expect a backup to step in and the offense not miss a beat.

[polamalubeast]

Landry Jones had a perfect 100 percent adjusted completion percentage, as he completed 19 of 22 pass attempts, with the three incompletions being a drop, a batted pass, and a throw-away. It was Jones’ highest passing grade of his career—preseason or regular season.

I'm pretty sure Landry secured his spot as Ben's back up last night. As far as NFL back up's go, he's par for the course. Nothing special, but he knows the system and will give this team a chance to win if he's called upon. Hopefully he wont be though, except in mop up mode.

[Craic]

I'm not sold on on Landry, and would love to upgrade next year at that position, however, given the choice between him and whoever's out on the FA market now, I'll pick Landry.

[pczach]

The New Orleans game was what this team needed.

Ben got to play just two series and he and the starting offense tore up the defense on two consecutive drives....Mission accomplished.

Landry Jones came in and played well the entire time he was in the game...Mission accomplished.

Jesse James looked very good when the quarterbacks knew what they were doing....Mission accomplished.

Several rookies played well, particularly Hargrave who looked awesome....Mission accomplished.

We as fans need to keep things in perspective. The NO defense is putrid. If Ben and the starters played the whole game, it looked like they could have easily dropped 50 on them.

Landry needed a chance to play with more starters and to go against a defense that would boost his confidence going into the regular season. He played well, but the defense he went up against was in a perpetual state of confusion. It was exactly what this team and Jones needed.

Landry Jones does not appear to be a starting quarterback in this league. That's not a bad thing. He is a homegrown player that knows the offense. He is not going to get ridiculous offers from other teams, and I believe the Steelers will probably try to extend his contract with the team as a long-term back up/emergency starter as long as Ben is here. Landry Jones isn't a great player, but it's who we have....and that has to be good enough right now.

I have to say he should have it secured since he is the only one available with more than 2 weeks of practice on the team. Landry jones will be our #2. He SHOULD be our #2. Doesn't make him any better as a player than he was in Philly. I DO NOT HATE LANDRY JONES, I do hate he is a terrible NFL QB. I sincerely hope we never have to see him take the field this season.

The New Orleans game was what this team needed.

Ben got to play just two series and he and the starting offense tore up the defense on two consecutive drives....Mission accomplished.

Landry Jones came in and played well the entire time he was in the game...Mission accomplished.

Jesse James looked very good when the quarterbacks knew what they were doing....Mission accomplished.

Several rookies played well, particularly Hargrave who looked awesome....Mission accomplished.

We as fans need to keep things in perspective. The NO defense is putrid. If Ben and the starters played the whole game, it looked like they could have easily dropped 50 on them.

Landry needed a chance to play with more starters and to go against a defense that would boost his confidence going into the regular season. He played well, but the defense he went up against was in a perpetual state of confusion. It was exactly what this team and Jones needed.

Landry Jones does not appear to be a starting quarterback in this league. That's not a bad thing. He is a homegrown player that knows the offense. He is not going to get ridiculous offers from other teams, and I believe the Steelers will probably try to extend his contract with the team as a long-term back up/emergency starter as long as Ben is here. Landry Jones isn't a great player, but it's who we have....and that has to be good enough right now.

Agreed. Landry Jones is not who we want, but he's who we have, and at this point this preseason, he will and should be Ben's #2. Bubby Brister would have made a great backup to a QB like Ben. Never want him to start for us again though.

What is going to come out of San Diego? Is Mettenberger their 3rd or 4th?

I guess we know the answer now. I watched him in Tenn before he got replaced by Mariota and he looked decent (but he had no supporting cast there). If he can get his head on straight and rebuild the confidence, I think its a good pick up for us.

Just pathetic......

Just pathetic......

The team was uninspired. They just went through the motions except for a handful who were trying to climb up the depth chart or secure a roster spot. I really wouldn't put too much stock in anything that happened this game.

I know but looks he looks like that 80% of the time so less than a year away till he is gone...fingers crossed
