[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 409239, member: 1429"] [url]http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Scouts-corner-Florida-StateOklahoma-breakdown.html[/url] [url]http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Draft-talk-10.html[/url] [url]http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Landry-Jones-vs-Andrew-Luck.html&page=2[/url] Very interesting takes on Jones by the NFP guys. They do make the same conclusion that I did, that Jones is the best pure thrower in this draft. But they bring a great point, one that I didn't notice in the games I've seen him, that when the pocket is breaking down Jones doesn't set his foot well and gets rattled, and can lose sight of his progressions and lock on one guy. They even compare him to Gabbert. Now, I understand the comparison, but it's not really the same. I've not seen Jones simply throw the ball up for grabs in face of pressure, afraid to get hit, and that's what Gabbert does. But I did see errant throws when the pocket was closing in. One thing that needs to be said is that reports are Jones has improved greatly from his previous years in his progressions and in his poise in the pocket, so it's not probable that this is his ceiling, that he can't improve in those areas. But I agree with them, Luck is much more advanced in those areas, and if Jones doesn't progress significantly at those, he'll never be a great QB in the NFL. Jeff George was an amazing thrower of the football after all. [/QUOTE]
