SB Nation’s Crimson and Cream Machine opines for change at key positions on the Oklahoma football depth chart in the wake of the Sooners’ loss to Texas A&M:
Oklahoma Vs. Texas A&M: Should Landry Jones Be Benched?
Two individuals deserve to be removed from their current positions at OU.
The first is Landry Jones. He has consistently proven that he's nothing more than a placeholder while we wait for the next great OU quarterback to come along (Blake Bell? Kendal Thompson?). I said in the game thread that he reminds me of Nate Hybl, and the comparison really couldn't be more apt. Sure, Hybl won us a Rose Bowl. But the conditions in that game were the ones in which he was able to thrive. Great protection, no reasons to panic. Because when things got rough, that's what Hybl did...he panicked. Sure, he could take hits...but the thing with Hybl was, if you started getting to him, he got rattled very easily and would usually be thrown out of his rhythm. He also was not very good under pressure (and I'm not talking about pass-rush pressure), and he wasn't much of a leader. Does any of this sound familiar?
