The career of a backup quarterback is hard, but Pittsburgh Steelers’ Landry Jones is playing it perfectly

In the NFL, backup quarterbacks have one of the most important jobs. They aren’t expected to be talented enough to win every game, but contain the ability to win x amount of games when called upon.

Some of these players go above and beyond the call of duty. Nick Foles is a prime example. Others never seem to fill the shoes of their superior and end up on the bottom half of league wide backups.

Landry Jones is near the top of this list. Ranking all the backups in the NFL, Jones sits in the top three or four, without question.
