System QB

    Translation- Pretty much anybody could do what LJ has done.

    Dude YOU are the one that needs to "come on".

    You see what you want to see and that's all. If you are too dim to realize the kind of player Landry is after everything he's done then you are never going to believe.

    I am interested in something though - in all your expertise about QB talent I'm quite sure you can give me examples of QBs that have never had bad games in their careers. I would like to research these premere players and make some comparisons.

    Eagerly awaiting your list.....

    Crimson,

    That was not the intended translation. I'm simply pointing out another fact in response to the "yeah but LJ is smashing all the previous records" card. He is 3/4 of is way through his 3rd year of starting. More starts than any other QB in Bob's tenure. I wonder how many attempts he's had in comparison?

    Landry is great. Is that what you want me to say? I really am saying that with honesty. I do think he's great. Do I think he can get us over the hump when we're in a tough spot and no one else is playing well? Does he have that Sooner Magic? I say no. And that was proven vs Tech. I simply wanted a discussion on the topic of system QBs and how that definition may or may not pertain to Landry Jones. The irrational reactions and name calling this topic has produced is a product of blind homerism and crimson glasses.

    All be warned: If your thoughts and suggestions don't specifically pump sunshine, and plenty of it, up all our asses you had better be prepared for the wrath of some insecure Sooner fans.

    Where in the hell did you come up with this or did I ever suggest anything to elicit such a ridiculous comment?

  • I agree with many of the explanations, but to me, a more simple way to describe what analyst mean when they say "system QB" is that it is the "system" that makes a QB look good, not his talent.
