Why Steelers QB Zach Mettenberger should start over Landry Jones

The Steelers have absolutely nothing to play for in their final regular season contest versus the Cleveland Browns, and will be using the opportunity to evaluate their backup quarterback situation.

In the short time this season that Roethlisberger was sidelined, backup QB Jones was given the starting opportunity.

Unfortunately, the Steelers saw a lot more of what Jones couldn’t do rather than what he could do. Jones has a losing record as an NFL starter when replacing the injured Roethlisberger, including his start against the New England Patriots this season.

Jones has performed so badly that a good majority of Steelers fans want to see him leave Pittsburgh now, and his start against Cleveland could easily be his last if he is to underperform.
