bills44 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Jones was pretty bad tonight - he was either unwilling or unable to throw the ball downfield, and his throws seemed to lack zip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Jones was pretty bad tonight - he was either unwilling or unable to throw the ball downfield, and his throws seemed to lack zip. That's how Jones looks most the time. He never wows in big games. I hate hating on a college kid, but I'd get sick if the Bills drafted him as the QB of the future. He is Kelly Holcomb Jr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills44 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Yeah, whenever I watch Jones, he's just meh. Not bad, mind you....but not good, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Yeah, whenever I watch Jones, he's just meh. Not bad, mind you....but not good, either. Exactly. And he is surrounded by blue chippers. We would beg for the days of Fitz if Jones ever becomes our starter. Btw, I'd love to spend a later pick on Swope. Kid can play and slot receivers dominate in today's flag football NFL.

SACTOBILLSFAN Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I get a hard time for not loving him but yup. There are reasons he was low rated coming out of HS. Fun player but nfl transition has a lot of questions. I enjoy watching him though. The biggest reason he was rated low was the perception he would be run oriented. Though he was a 3 Star recruit Oregon wanted him and the he uncommitted after a few months (I suspect due to rumors of sanctions but it was said his mom wanted him in Texas) and chose A&M. He's just another 3 Star QB Mack Brown said was too small to play in college. (See Drew Brees and RGIII). I don't know why he would be low rated coming out of high school though. None of his shortcomings are shortcomings in the college game. Sure he is not prototype size, so maybe as a pure recruit he went down a few notches. But you can be great in college like that. Good notes that he has size 15 shoes and the big hands. That could mean he will grow. Another reason for it was playing in the small town of Kerrville, TX but he is an absolute legend throughout South Texas. Every high school coach in the area, even at the powerhouses, will tell you his scouting grade was absurd and that he's one of, if not, the best high school QB they've ever seen. Let's see how Johnny Football does next year when he has some new O linemen. I feel Johnny is Vanilla Ice. One hit wonder I have a feeling you're wrong, but hey, Mack Brown agrees with you. The kid can flat out play the game of football and he will only get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Let's see how Johnny Football does next year when he has some new O linemen. I feel Johnny is Vanilla Ice. One hit wonder really? he is the kind of QB that doesn't need great O-lineman like flutie Jones was pretty bad tonight - he was either unwilling or unable to throw the ball downfield, and his throws seemed to lack zip. he had plenty of Zip on that TD pass, the downfield throws are bc of the Offensive design which sucks, it's kinda of west coast spread where they throw short passes to control the clock. They would be better off developing a real rushing attack and a pass offense that uses the whole passing tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowery4 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 he is definitely not a runner but he can move in the pocket so I'm not worried about it. I grew up with that word so it isn't offensive to me so I really don't think about it being too much. So you wouldn't mind me calling you it? Hey mentally challenged dildo has more of a ring to it anyway. BTW it sounds like you still need to grow up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Why do so many discussions on this forum descend into exchanges of personal attacks? Isn't there a way to disagree with someone's opinion without all of the childish name calling and character assassination. Hint: critiques or challenges of your POV is not a personal attack. Hint: if you disagree with someone's POV, try attacking their assertion and not their character or intelligence. The acrimony that these scenario's create is beyond ridiculous. Time for some folks to grow up. Note: Descent from soapbox now complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Let's see how Johnny Football does next year when he has some new O linemen. I feel Johnny is Vanilla Ice. One hit wonder Good call he only won the heisman as a freshman and broke the all time SEC yards record held by the almighty Cam newton. He's probably a fluke?......people love to hate.

NewEra Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Thurnan is as dumb as a MOFO! No, sorry to say BB, but you are when it comes to scouting Landry Jones. Once again, epic fail for jones. The guy is a bum and ill cry if we draft him. Did you change your draft prediction after watching how awesome he was? Is he going #1 overall now?

bananathumb Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Very disappointed watching Smith, Glennon and Jones. Hope there is somebody worth drafting in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trader Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 When standing next to teammates he really doesn't look like 6'1" 200 to me, but who knows. He looks like 5'11" 185 or so. In his interview he said he was 6' even. With his style of play it does not matter though his movement keeps him from getting a lot of passes batted. I counted one in this game. Jones who is 6' 4" had one also. Stationary QB's get balls batted more often no matter how tall they are. Defensive lineman are tall and are taught to Batt down the ball. A 6'4" Defensive End with a decent vertical will be able to batt a ball thrown by a 6'8" QB if he is standing right in front of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
