I was curious so I had to look. Honestly I'm a little surprised. I thought he would land somewhere. I can tell you watching Kizer tonight, I'd rather have Jones. If Ben gets the 3 week hurt, I'd have him on speed dial.
Landry Jones never got picked up

Agree. I figured someone would sign him if they thought he was better than their 2nd string guy. Someone will get him when their QB gets hurt.

Which brings to light,....... Should have Dobbs been put into the game to change the spark?????
I was hoping Landry would get picked up somewhere and because he wasn't doesn't mean he didn't get any calls.

Ridiculous. You never take a franchise QB out of a game to get a spark. Ben had a rough day, sure but that is mainly because of the weather, getting hit a lot, and (the biggest reason) because he didn't practice enough in pre-season games. That is on Tomlin. Ben and any QB must play at least a few series in 2 or even 3 pre-season games to get close to speed and to get in sync with his receivers.
And, no way do I bring Jones back. Seriously, WTF! Jones wasn't very good so give Dobbs or even Rudolph a chance if something happens to Ben. Because, if Ben goes down for any length of time, our season is over anyway.

I agree but I'm beginning to worry about Ben dropping back to pass the way I used to worry about Mark Malone dropping back to pass. The next game will tell us whether his skill set has fallen off the cliff.
I agree on the first paragraph. That weather could have caused Dobbs fits too. And Ben has to shake the rust off. Yanking him wouldn't have helped accomplish that.
And disagree on the second.Landry or Laundry as some love to call him. If a injury came about you still have to replace the loss. Rudolph isn't ready This year. So you would need a QB to back up Dobbs short term.
Bad weather, a bubble wrapped preseason. I am not worried. Annoyed he wasn't played more, not worried that he will shake the rust off.
If Ben gets hurt for three or four weeks you may see what sucks really looks like. Anyone see what happened when Roger's was out last night. Zero. Nada. Nothing.
GB got rid of their backup that I thought was pretty solid.
Dobbs impressed to the point he got a experienced backup tossed off the roster.
I like his odds of playing well if needed.
There are always situations that go beyond who is better when making a roster. I highly doubt Dobbs actually beat out Jones. However, when you factor in that Dobbs has upside and might be better than Rudolph while in all likelihood Jones is gone after this season. Dobbs got the nod.
106 passer rating - compared to 112 preseason passer rating for Dobbs. I don't doubt Dobbs beat him out.
As he showed that upside in actual preseason game performances.
One thing to know there is upside, another to actually log that upside statistically.

I won’t be surprised if Landry ends up on the active roster and Dobbs either gets traded or sent to practice squad.
Landry must have gotten offers that he declined. He is one of the more experienced backups in the league. My guess is that he feels confident that the steelers will have him back.
It would be a clever roster move. If Dobbs was cut, i bet he would have been picked up and a team would have had a few days to look at him and decide to keep him or not on their final 53. Now if Dobbs is put on practice squad, another team would have to add him directly to their 53 if they wanted to pick him up. Teams are in season mode now and wouldn’t have the reps to give Dobbs in practice. They’d have to pick him up based only on his film. It could still happen but would be less likely than if he had been cut a week ago.
also, if Landry is picked back up, his contract would not be guaranteed. I doubt that small cap savings was a factor though.

So you are measuring a better performance based upon 6 point passer rating in the pre season. Jones barely played. I like Dobbs. I really do. But if we need him for more than two games you will almost certainly be begging to have Jones back. With the caveat that Ben will return and they are still in the hunt. If Ben is out for the Season or the season is done I'd rather see Dobbs or Rudolph.
Sure, if Ben goes down and is expected to be out for a lengthy period of time, I can definitely see them bringing Jones back as Dobbs backup.
I am saying it is just as possible he did beat him out compared to your doubts that are unsupported. A better passer rating shows documented performance. Both have a certain degree of speculative. But at least my thoughts are backed by something shown. Landry has shown little to nothing that got anyone excited.
They sat Landry out as they knew what they had with him. Besides that nifty porn stache not much.
So if Ben was out more than two games what does Landry's career win loss record tell you?
one loss one win one loss one win, etc perhaps?
I am saying I believe Dobbs will show more than that, and if not? It wasn't like Landry was going to bring you to the promise land anyways.
His win loss performance tells me he could win an easy game and they would be competitive vs. A good to great opponent.
I think he was like 3 and 2 win loss record. But if I remember correctly two wins were against the clowns.
So nothing awe inspiring barely ok. Still not hard for me to believe he was beat out.
I hope we don't have to find out. All I'm gonna say. I don't have a problem with their choice and if they don't lose Brn for 3-4 games I think it was absolutely right. But if he does I got Landry Jones on speed dial and I cut a player who gets diactivated. I don't want a guy who hasn't taken a regular season snap. Sorry.

Got a feeling Green Bay is going to sign Landry. Rogers may not play game 2..

Of course he ******* sucks!
I'd get Dobbs ready just in case, U never know with Ben holding the ball all day looking for a smothered AB to get open
This team is doomed without Bell, they lost 80% of their offense and they are just now facing how bad their hand picked weak soft defense is going to be.
