I don't know what is making Charlie think this is the case.

First of all, Jones isn't that good. He isn't a starting caliber NFL QB from anything that I have seen.

Skip Bayless, who loves OK, said that he has seen plenty enough of Jones to know he will never be a starting caliber NFL QB.

When Jones was on a team with superior talent, he put up some big #s. But like many QBs in that situation, if he didn't have the superior talent, he was below average. I don't see a guy like that becoming a good NFL QB.

Charlie may be right that in 2 years, Pgh will need another QB (as Ben could be just tattered by them or worth more than what Pgh is willing to pay) but Jones won't be who it ends up being.

Jones is simply there to provide a back up that isn't 40 years old. I doubt he will ever develop into anything more than that.

Charlie is an idiot.

They're acting like Ben is 38 and not 31. Ben's replacement is in some high school currently in 9th or 10th grade.

Are you sure with how much Ben gets beat up ... He isn't Tom Brady or Peyton ... Ben takes punishment , and with so many injuries piling up

I'm not saying yes or no ... But I don't think Ben plays until his late 30s

Peyton and Brady have missed more games due to injury than Ben has since 2004.

Peyton and Brady would both be dead if they played behind Ben's O-line for the same amount of years Ben has.

That is true.

I agree and I have been sayin that for a few years....

Jones is what he is....a fourth round pick and a younger future backup.
I wanted a QB this draft to groom and learn,they got one. I'll take this anyday
over the Leftwich and Batch Comedy Show. Time to move on.

Peyton and Brady would have been fine behind our OL. They both get rid of the ball quickly and avoid the hit. Ben holds the ball forever which leads to him getting hit a lot more than he should. Plus, the NFL protects Peyton and Brady unlike any other QB in the league.
