Landry Jones Returning to Oklahoma

in 2013 Miami Dolphins Draft Prospects
Email
PrintThe University of Oklahoma announced today that quarterback Landry Jones is returning to school for his senior year. Jones is the second quarterback to return to school, despite being a projected first round pick, joining USC's Matt Barkley.
"I want to accomplish the goals that I set before I got here, and there is still a lot more to do," Jones said during the annoucement. "I want to make sure I've exhausted every effort in that area. And I want to be a senior. I enjoy being at OU and with my teammates and look forward to graduating with the guys that were in my class when I got here."
"That's the ultimate goal for anyone who plays football," Jones said. "I've thought about that since I was a little boy. It would be a great honor to play in the NFL and that goal will still be there when I finish at Oklahoma."
Jones is already Oklahoma's all time record holder for passing yards (12,389) and passing touchdowns (89).
Oklahoma Coach Bob Stoops spoke about Jones' decision, stating, ""We know the positive influence Landry has on and off the field with our team. We're excited that he's coming back to build on what has already been an outstanding career. We expect another great year from him, and like the fact that he's determined to be even better."
Jones' returning to school means the once spectacular 2012 NFL Draft QB Class is down to just headliners Andrew Luck from Stanford and Baylor's Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III. It also means Miami, who will pick in the eighth or ninth position, pending a coin toss with the Carolina Panthers, will either have to pay the heavy pricetags needed to move up in the draft, or may not have an opportunity to take a first round quarterback.
The Dolphins have not drafted a quarterback in the first round of the NFL draft since taking Dan Marino in 1983. Since Marino retired after the 1999 season, the Dolphins have used 16 different starters at the position.

NOOOOOOoooooOOOOOOOOooooooo!
I give up. Let’s just go get Matt Flynn and suck next year too.
This is probably for the better
I wasn’t completely sold on him anyway and we get to see him in action for another year to see if he’s legit.
If we took him at 9 it owuld have probably been a reach and wouldn’t have been in our best interest.
This also increases the odds the Fins will make a splash for Luck or RGIII, which no doubt about it, are the 2 best QB’s in college football.
I'm ALL- IN. Do whatever it takes to get Andrew Luck or RGIII to Miami in 2012.

i dont mind drafting an OL with the one condition
that we trade for Peyton Manning…
If we can keep Peyton behind a solid OL and give him Reggie, Marshall and Bess, and maybe even draft a TE in rounds 2-3, AND he is passes his physical… thats good enough for me to pick him up to command this team for the next 5 years…. we can always draft a rookie QB next year or two. There would be no better vet to learn after IMO then Manning

but id rather trade for Luck or RGIII of course...
id rather give up a shit ton for a rookie QB to be the new face of our team than a ProBowl QB in his 30’s who just got off IR for his neck…
If we go after Peyton make it a conditional trade that will allow us to only get rid of a pick or two if he can play an entire year and not get placed to IR for his neck.

Eh, I was never too impressed with him
The numbers look good, but I think he’s merely a product of the system. Every time I watched Oklahoma play I truly wanted to come away impressed, and hope he could be our future QB, but he just never really seemed to pass the eye test to me.
I saw a ton of staring down receivers, throwing into double coverage, etc. His numbers were awful once Ryan Broyles went down as well. Another year in school should serve him well, because right now I see him as all arm strength with poor fundamentals.
Just Don't understand these people a chance to play in the NFL, a 1st Rnd Pick 1st Rnd $$
and they choose to finish college…I went to college but didn’t have the opportunity to earn millions and play in the NFL while being only 20-21…wtf….play in the NFL retire then get your college degree…what if he beaks his leg in his senior year….ummmm!

And some value their college experience and believe that the NFL or anything else can wait.
I personally find it sad that fans would rail on a kid for deciding to go back to school vs. chasing the big money.

Agree on that!
I am a college graduate and a small business owner & I know how hard my partner, myself & our employees work just to do a million dollars a year in business….Jones could earn millions yearly, retire fairly young, finish his education & have plenty of money to to what he wants or help change the world with a good cause (many of us don’t have that opportunity, or have it yet).
That’s my opinion, you have yours…which is cool…if we all thought the same the world would be a boring place…PLUS we are both Dolphin Fans…so rock on Brother!
So much for the year of the QB

I figured as much
There were 4 QB’s and each one could have gone back to College, it doesn’t surprise me that at least one of them would have gone back.
Phew!
We could easily have reached for this guy. Can see RGIII staying in too. So much for year of the QBs … It’s seriously time to settle down and plan for life with Moore. Omar Kelly’s hot on Weedon, dunnon what you fellas make of that. suspect Flynn is only an option if Moore is going to be a back up cos he’s gonna cost.

As a result, I changed the pick.

It's probs the right move for the kid. He needs to learn a lot more before coming starter.
I don’t think we were in the market for him anyway. Ross wants to go big. He wants to be flashy. He wants to bring the fans back. I think he was always going after RG3.

Unless we trade up that is a real possibility
I still think they will do everything they can to secure the 2nd or 3rd pick.
Trade down & draft some no name again
Then we can finally stop buying tickets & going to games!

I suppose 28 is considered old even if does mean 5-6 years.

I like Weeden, Tuna
I would probably consider Tannehill and Nick Foles first; but QB is a position where guys can play well into their 40s, so I don’t really have a problem with Weeden’s age.
Go BPA in the first round and then use our 2 to trade up for Tannehill? If so, let’s champion Bacon as president of the Ryan Tannehill fan club. Great success.

Personally...
I’d rather trade down for a first rounder next year to better position us for one of the top QBs next year.

Hey... you guys remember when everyone said the 2012 QB class was going to be so awesome?
Remember when everyone said “Don’t take a QB this year (2011) because next year will be so much better”? Remember when everyone said we need to fill other needs first before getting a QB?
Well this is what happens. We still need a QB and this class is terrible. There is Luck (no chance of drafting) and Griffin (slim chance of drafting) and a bunch of crap. But now Ireland is going to be looking for a QB, except he’s going to be reaching with a guy like Tannehill, a 29 year old rookie in Weeden or even worse, reaching for a 3rd or 4th round inferior prospect like Cousins or Foles in a round too early, possibly even the first (DISASTER)! We could have drafted Dalton or Mallett in the second. We could have traded up for Locker. But, no, we didn’t get a QB and we are now looking for one in a weak FA class (bad idea anyway) and a VERY weak draft class.
AWESOME!!!
So we might as well keep up the same strategy. No point in wasting a perfectly good draft pick (again) in a super weak class on a QB that will more than likely be ran out of town in 3 years.The best bet for Ireland and the new coach is to trade down or do whatever it takes to get some extra picks for the 2013 draft. We already know that Barkley and Jones will be there. And there will be a few other prospects in that draft that are much better than the mess this year.

I disagree.
This depends on who the coach will be. If its Fisher, then it’s likely we promised him Griffin. If its Chud, I can see us reaching for Tannehill at 9. If its Philbin, then probs matt Flynn. If Billick , he might stick with Moore.
I got a feeling they’ll go all out for Griffin. Ross needs him to reenergise the fan base. But I wouldn’t mind reaching for Tannehill. He’ll be a very good QB.
If we get Griffin or Luck, then that's great
but it will come at great cost. I don’t know that Ireland has the grapes to make a move like that. He’ll probably waste a pick on 2nd or 3rd round QB. Or he’ll bring in another FA (sigh). At this point, we might as well try to improve around Moore while planning to go all-in in the 2013 draft to get Barkley. If we trade down and get an additional first for 2013 we will be in much better shape to get Barkley (unlike this year).

That’s exactly what I was saying in the lead-up to last year’s draft. But instead I wanted to get Kaepernick. People kept saying next year’s QB draft would be awesome etc etc. But no one stopped to think about our predicament if this wasn’t the case. Now we have to trade up or take a riskier prospect. The Tannenhill’s, Foles and Weeden’s are this year’s Mallett’s, Kaepernick’s and Ponder’s. Square 1 all over again.
The difference being that had we drafted Mallett or Kaepernick, they would have had 1 year tutelage under their belt. It may or may not have worked out, but we’re eerily in the same position this year as last. I actually advocate trading down in the draft possibly if we cant get Luck or RGIII.
Henne is the greatest and the Dolphins will go 14-2 this year and win the SB
It more & more sounds like Flynn may be our best option/chance...unless we can get RGIII...but that will take
some sacrifices…which if is as good as we think…it’ll be worth it!
This is a debate I don't want to have
I haven’t seen Tannenhill play and I realize Kap had some ‘concerns’ coming out of college; the pistol and elongated throwing motion being the main ones. It’s hard to tell what happens because both have their pros and cons. Kaepernicks huge strengths are his ideal size, 4 year starter, awesome measurable and very fast/elusive in the pocket. Tannenhill lacks some of these but is a better passer. At the end of the day, they’re both projects.
But now 1 more year has passed and 1 of the projects is a year closer to starting.
Henne is the greatest and the Dolphins will go 14-2 this year and win the SB
I think everybody pines for these qb's too much
There are no sure things in the nfl, not even andrew luck. I can remember two quarterbacks with a lightning release that the majority of the league passed on in the draft Marino and Aaron Rodgers! Stop getting high and zoning out on Mel Kiper!!….but, that hair…. I also remember a guy with terrible measurables that the dolphins passed on once in the draft and again in free agency, drew brees! Talent comes from everywhere, it’s just having the right system and pieces.
I think if red dalton and t.j. yates can play eachother in a playoff game and mark-I suck it-sanchez can go to two title games we should all take a deep breath and step back. WE get a good coach and a good system, get back that killer instinct and I think we can go somewhere.

If we had drafted one of the second tier guys last year,
we wouldn’t have gone after Moore, and that shiny new rookie would have been eaten alive on this team starting in week 3.
As it is now, we’re pretty much in the same place as last year, except I like the 2nd tier prospects better this year.
Who says the rookie would have been eaten alive?
Couldn’t have been worse than Henne

Weeden has Great Stats....but will that translate to the next level????
Outside of RGIII Tannehill would be our best option but is he worthy of a top 10??
The magic question…wait for pick two and fall into the same BS – average QB we have been doing since…forever???
If we like Tannehill, Weeden pull the trigger….personally I want RGIII even at a HIGH cost…take the plunge & do it!
I’m on board with Flynn as well….the rest is a crap shoot!
Looks like someone will overpay for Tannenhill
From what little I know, Top 15 would be a big reach. We’re talking about a former WR and 1 1/2 year starter! with 14 INT and a 61.1% in his senior year. He’s got the prototypical size and speed, but is somebody really going to stake a Top 12 selection on this guy? I’d pass until the second round probably, but I’d have to do much more research.
Henne is the greatest and the Dolphins will go 14-2 this year and win the SB
Just seems too risky
To rely on a former WR with 1 1/2 years starting experience to become a elite QB in the NFL. I could be wrong, but I’d rather draft someone who had been playing the position from early on in High School or junior.
Henne is the greatest and the Dolphins will go 14-2 this year and win the SB
Not sure I can get into Weeden either
Too reminiscent of Chris Weinke, who was pretty bad as a starter in Carolina. We might as well start Moore if that’s the case, because Moore can probably give us a whole season at 85 QB Rating which isn’t bad. Could Weeden give us more than this at his advanced age?
If we’re going to supplant Moore that’s fine, but we might as well go for BIG upside not potential pretty good starter like Weeden.
Henne is the greatest and the Dolphins will go 14-2 this year and win the SB
Tannehill was an elite HS prospect.
His position switch just delayed his development by a year or so. We can afford to let him sit for a year. Don’t see a problem.
I agree. When you look at how little experience the kid has vs. how good he already is it seems as if the skys the limit with him.

Dalton was the #35 overall

I don't care about age
Weeden is a skillful player that could make an immediate impact for a QB needy team.
But due to his age, he will drop quite far, and will be a steal in the later rounds.

Such a bad idea when kids go back.
“It would be a great honor to play in the NFL and that goal will still be there when I finish at Oklahoma.” Yeah, unless you get injured and fuck yourself out of millions of dollars guaranteed money. You know what’s still there if you get injured in the NFL? College.
More of Moore in 2012!
Coples for our new 4-3!
'Phins phor Liphe!
Dolphins are going to interview Philbin and I think he gets the position if Fisher
chooses St. Louis which is significant because it makes Flynn coming to the fins along with Philbin more likely and I do believe the Pack’s qb coach becomes OC if he lands here.
Get the best man to clear every hurdle that stand in the Dolphins way, go RG3.
RG3, the new Transformer of the future.
I know it's dirty language on this board but the best OL on the board is what our team really needs!
Arizona and K.C. both thought they were getting Flynn to with Kolb and Cassell respectively. O line, corner, and safety are where the fins need the most help. Best qb in the world would still get killed behind that line! If we can upgrade the guard and tackle on the right side, our passing and running game just got exponentially better. Every safety we have gets burnt in the passing game and my grandma can catch a comeback or slant on sean smith! I would like a game changing tight end but our offense doesn’t run that way. If it did you would see fasano and clay with many more catches………excited about clay’s potential by the way. I also think a good offensive system makes good receivers, you don’t really think they are working with 5 number 1 receivers in green bay do you?? That being said, I would be very excited about the potential Joe Philbin could bring to our offense though I like the direction Daboll has taken us. Many of our frustrations in that department stem from drops, poor execution, and a shitty RT, RG on o-line. One thing I agree with Bill Parcells on(that rat bastard) is you should take an O-line and D-line prospect with potential in every draft. We have a talented roster with a few holes. Let’s all hold out hope that we get some fixed in free agency and the draft and not reach for a quarterback in either. Only someone who will REALLY improve our situation……..if we would’ve given up picks for orton I may have jumped out of my second story window!

Phew
Thank God. This is not the QB draft for us. How does no one understand? Defense was our problem the first half of the year. If we beat the Browns, Broncos, Chargers, Cowboys, etc. we are a playoff team. Our problem was finishing games. Coaching. We can keep Matt Moore for ONE MORE YEAR. I am only a recent Dolphins fan (2001) and everyone needs to GET OVER THEMSELVES!! Yes this is a storied franchise but it has been A LONG TIME since the Phins were anything worth talking about. We have the team in place. Sure up the right side of the line. We have a great defense. Matt Moore is our QB next year. Get used to it.
RG3?? Are you high?!!?!?! Complete bust and we would have to trade up to get him when we have more GLARING issues on this team. Luck is now the only viable QB in this draft and he is out of our reach. We would throw away the future if we traded up for him. Sure up everything around the QB this year and we can make a run. Next year we can give up the draft for a QB if it doesn’t pan out.
What other team keeps you glued to your TV after an 0-7 start? We have a solid team. Reggie Bush is OUR star RB for the first time. Yes this year did not go the way we wanted but we know things now that we did not know going into this year. Bush is legit. Moore is a starting QB. Our defense IS great, it just needed time, the lockout killed us.
No matter what coach comes in here it won’t matter for next season. Our team is set and ready to make a run. Use the #9 pick for an RT and let’s do this!!!!
That rookie wage scale is really sh!tt!ng in our cereal. 2 QBs that were first round picks (1 a sure fire top 10) returning to school. This is insane. Guaranteed this wouldn't have happened if not for the new measures in the new CBA.
NY Jets = NFL's Chicago Cubs
There's a fine line between hopeful and desperate. Just look @ Jets fans.
The wage scale makes the idea of a "reach" much less legitimate.
Teams can now afford to go BPA or BPA at a position of need without many drawbacks. It makes picking a developmental prospect with a high upside in the first round less of a gamble.
I think its the best thing to happen to the NFL in a long time.
