One was a 5th round pick and the other was a 4th round pick. So I'm not sure where the "3 or 4 picks" thing is coming from. They took a flyer on a kid coming off of an injury in Dixon. I imagine they didn't cut Jones this past season because it was only his second year and his only opportunities to show anything are in practice which we don't see and late in preseason games.<br /><br />I didn't like the pick even before it was made. I think it's silly to draft a back-up. Very few starting QBs were "groomed" for more than one year in the league these days. There are bigger fish to fry on the roster than Landry Jones though.kylenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-79753244763578762282015-04-03T08:37:40.286-04:002015-04-03T08:37:40.286-04:00They aren't nervous to cut Johes because he kn...They aren't nervous to cut Johes because he knows our offense too well. The FO and/or the coaching staff just don't want to admit he was a wasted pick. One the team couldn't really afford. I think we have wasted 3 or 4 picks at QB the last few years with nothing to show for it. It's frustrating to see the same mistakes over and over again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-727708186456108282015-04-03T01:52:24.247-04:002015-04-03T01:52:24.247-04:00But yet they are nervous to cut Jones due to the f...But yet they are nervous to cut Jones due to the fact that he knows too much about our offense but guys come and go every year.

Ideally, the third-string guy doesn't play and develops at least into a No. 2.

He only had one year of starting experience but he has the athleticism and arm strength to develop into a good backup once he learns how to read defenses better.<br /><br />Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16577610340559121527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15287012.post-48463410387736389792015-04-02T14:01:42.858-04:002015-04-02T14:01:42.858-04:00I think the Batch / Leftwich era was probably was ...I think the Batch / Leftwich era was probably was a great backup QB situation, 2 former starters w/ knowledge and experience.

He's a bit of a project, coming from a spread offense, but I think he has potential.Steve-Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04777180013652920920noreply@blogger.com
