I don't think anyone honestly believes Jones is as good as he was yesterday. I don't know how good he is. All I have seen him do is play with guys that for the most part, are sacking groceries right now. Maybe playing with the starters made him better than what we have seen. What I do know, is that based on his performance yesterday coupled with Vick's performance yesterday, to date really, earns him the start at KC if Ben can't go.
Everything changed when Jones came in. They opened up the playbook and the offense took off.
My whole problem with Vick is that if you don't trust him to run most of the passing plays in the playbook, and his performance sucks on the plays you do let him run, why is he on the damn field? He is done as a player in this league. He was never a good QB, but was able to get by because he was a fantastic athlete. Now he doesn't even have that, really.
He was 2-4 for one yard at the half. 3-8 for 6 yards when he was injured. Yet our coaches were ready to trot him out there to accomplish what? Hand off to Bell?
This whole episode makes no sense. He had no redeeming value to the Steelers. But for some reason, he is being forced into an offense that he doesn't fit into. It just doesn't make any sense.
