He just fell off the last couple years. Wasn't he projected to be a top 3 QB? Now he's not even in the conversation.

He's average.

He's still a media darling Heisman candidate, must not have fell off too much

have you ever see him under pressure? He's pathetic. Of course, in the Big 12 he can look great, but he has the legs of a 80 yr old.

Logic error.

(b) doesn't flow logically from (a).

When I said average, I was being nice.

Landry Jones is bad at football. And if you couldn't see that from the very first day you saw him, then you're bad at evaluating talent and should probably refrain from gambling.

Landry Jones is a Heisman candidate when he has time to sit in the pocket. Landry Jones is a bum whem you force him to move off his spot. Unless he has fixed this aspect of his game, he might have trouble this year with all of OU's offensive line issues this off-season.

He's not flashy at all. But he will get the job done this year at QB. The wheels kinda fell off when he lost his #1 WR target last season. But I feel like that would happen for most QB's in college. He should have an impressive season. He's had a whole off season to mesh with Stills and the highly rated freshman, Trey Metoyer(remember that name), and he also has Justin Brown from Penn State to work with. I fully expect him to put up good numbers in his senior year here at OU.

I remember when Bradford went down and Jones had to suit up as a freshman. He had this ridiculous porn stache going, probably didn't think he'd be on TV.

He threw for 4400+ last year. He was among the nations best.

He still grows it out every once in a while as a joke. He's said in interviews he knows it looks bad, but he just does it anyway

...at bringing nothing to the table.

And QB numbers in OU's system are inflated. They don't run the ball. Their version of a running game is little dinky screen passes and the like.

Compare Landry Jones numbers to Bradford's. This will tell you all you need to know.

He's an above average QB nothing more, he was never going to be anything more than a late round pick.
