Why is Landry Jones getting so little respect?

I replied in the wrong spot. My response is below…

They hate anybody outside of the SEC.

Okay.

You can argue that Landry doesn’t pass the “eye test” in terms of being a big game QB, like Cam Newton (who had another outstanding game today). And most of the time, Landry isn’t going to take a game over. But… if he gets hot, he can certainly put a game out of reach. I would say Florida State would be considered a signature win for him. He played perfect that game and eliminated the ability for Florida State to even attempt to come back. As we see now, Florida State is much better than they appeared in Norman.

Argument there! But you can’t blame Landry for our road problems. The entire team plays bad on the road. Hannah dropping passes, kickers missing kicks, defense blowing coverage… those things cost us games. We need to get better as a team outside of Norman. We looked good last week; I hope we can duplicate that tomorrow.

He does make some questionable plays in key situations. But he gives us the best chance to win a championship if he continues to develop… primarily because he is the most familiar with this offense. But his numbers this season have improved a lot. He has only thrown 7 INTs this year, last year he threw 5 in the Nebraska game alone. I would love to see his mobility improve.

Braford would have probably been the best QB in FBS history, if he would have stayed. But people need to realize that he is gone and Landry is who we have now. Landry is not Braford, but he does okay. He may not be the best in the country right now, but he is improving all the time. I think the media should give him more credit for his body of work.
