"Landry Jones' performance the past two weeks has proven to be enough for the team to list him as the No. 2 quarterback on the team's depth chart, ahead of Mike Vick.

This shouldn't come as a shock to anyone with the ability to watch football. Jones has outplayed Vick in every possible sense of the term, but more importantly, Jones has gained the trust of the coaching staff to the point where he would be the "next man up" if Roethlisberger were to be lost again for any amount of time."




Vick sucks.  Sanchez sucks.  People who watch football know this.  The only people who would take either of those guys over McCarron are the ones who just look at names they recognize from years ago.

Landry Jones only had 1 full game and he went 209 yards, 55% completion, 1 TD, 2 INTs, 60.8 rating. The full 2 games Vick played he averaged 192 yards, 61.5% completion, 1 TD, .5 INTs, 84.3 rating. Yeah that's outplaying Vick so much. You can bring up the Cardinals game, but don't forget about that 5 yard pass Jones had that Bryant took for 88 yards and a TD, which was half of Jones stat line for that game.
