^^^ this plus He peaked his Freshman year = him being a mid-late round pick

Awful pocket presence.

 

[jadillac]

As someone who has watched damn near every game of Landry's career, his biggest weaknesses are:

His lack of mobility
Lack of decision making when a play breaks down, doesnt seem to go to thru progressions
Dont know if he can take many hits

Also, thhat 4000 yds is a bit misleading bc many of those are off of screen passes or short slants where the receiver does most of the work.

Oh cuz he sucks that's why

 

[FakeNews]

seemed like he fell off after broyles got hurt

Basically his not a dual threat that is so popular nowadays. He is a very good quarterback, who very accurate. His mobility has improved greatly, he just gets nervous when his pocket collapse sometimes. Behind a good line he is a force to be reckoned with.

i heard his leadership is questionable

is Blake Bell the real deal? He sure as hell LOOKS like it.

I think he CAN be.
Our WR core returning is possibly our best in recent years, especially if Stills comes back.

Bell has a pretty good arm, and with our WR talent, he will look even better, and of course we know he can at least gain a few on the ground.

Perfect Example of sitting 3 years learning from the one of the best QB in the league.

Vick retired breh. Its over.

Big Ben's playing style complements Landry's too.

The problem is that most teams don't HAVE a talented QB to sit their guy behind in the first place.

And for every success story, there's a guy like Matt Flynn.

I hope Landry continues to have success but hes looked trash in the preseason at times. Theres a reason why the coaches hesitated to take Vick out and signed him the second Gradkowski got hurt. Until the 2nd half of yesterday's game Landry Jones was a joke to Steelers fans. That being said the offense actually looked like its supposed to yesterday with him in the game.
