<p>Hopefully he can stay out of trouble and get his career back on track. After <a href="http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2012/10/2012-1-recruit-dorial-green-beckham-busted-for-weed.html">incidents involving marijuana</a> and an altercation with his girlfriend DGB was kicked off Mizzou&#8217;s squad and thought about <a href="http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2014/05/dorial-green-beckham-expected-sit-2015-nfl-draft.html">sitting out for the 2015 draft. M</a>aybe the structure of Bob Stoops program is what he needs right now.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.mockdrafthq.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/landry-jones.jpg"><img decoding="async" src="http://www.mockdrafthq.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/landry-jones-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="landry jones" width="150" height="150" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-3932" /></a>Landry Jones should have went pro.  That&#8217;s pretty much the sentiment everyone seems to hold in the draft circles. There was nothing left to accomplish, several NFL teams with needs at QB and instead of taking the challenge to become a pro early Jones came back to school.</p>
<p>Honorable on one hand, completely crazy on the other.</p>
<p>Blacksportsonline brought this story to my attention in which a NFL Scout says that <a href="http://blacksportsonline.com/home/2012/10/nfl-scouts-say-oklahoma-qb-landry-jones-is-now-mid-round-pick-viathacover2/">Jones is destroying his stock </a>game-by-game despite his team&#8217;s W-L record:<span id="more-4125"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>He shows he can do everything we want him to do, he just hasn’t shown he can do it consistently in pressure situations. He’s great if his team gets a lead early and mixes it up on offense. If they get behind, and he’s got to lead them back with a defense pinning their ears back, he struggles.</p></blockquote>
<p>My take: Landry Jones will be a developmental QB for a team that needs a capable backup.  I&#8217;m thinking someone like the Jets, Raiders, etc. should take Landry and develop him behind the guys they already have.  One day in the future he will probably be a starter but he will need to have some elite talent around him to minimize those perceived faults in his game.</p>

<p>This guy.</p>
<p>Anyways, <strong>Landry Jones</strong> will be returning to school which is good news for Bob Stoops and crew.  </p>
<blockquote><p>#Oklahoma QB Landry Jones (school&#8217;s all-time leading passer) will return for his senior season</p>
<p>ESPN</p></blockquote>
<p>The least excited person to hear that news was probably backup <strong>QB Blake Bell</strong> who has been used pretty much exclusively as a goal line FB this year. That sound you heard was Josh McDaniels falling out his chair. Oklahoma stands to be a National Title contender with Landry Jones returning to man the QB position.  Along with Oklahoma you also have to like USC that will have the combination of Robert Woods and Matt Barkley for 2012.</p>
<p>It is very interesting that <span id="more-2775"></span>more and more quarterbacks are choosing to return to school.  You have to wonder why?  Maybe the new NFL CBA has reduced the immediate financial incentive, and guys are opting to extend their college careers and hone their skills for another year now.  That is actually a good trend because it results in much better prospects down the line.</p>
<p>The 2013 draft just got real interesting! Jones, Barkley, Logan Thomas, Tyrann Mathieu, Sammy Watkins&#8230; I&#8217;m more excited for next year than this year!</p>

<blockquote><p>To be honest, this was pretty much expected. K-State has been a remarkable story, and<strong> Bill Snyder</strong> has done an amazing job coaching this team up to play beyond their abilities, but there’s no denying the superior talent of OU. It’s felt on more than one occasion this year like Oklahoma was playing to the level of their competition. Not today. Sooners quarterback <strong>Landry Jones</strong> was unstoppable, tossing for over 500 yards and five touchdowns.<span id="more-2450"></span></p>
<p>In the process, Jones passed the previous school record for yards passing of 468, which he had shared with <strong>Sam Bradford</strong>, and moved atop the Oklahoma career passing list with 90 touchdowns.</p>
<p>(<a href="http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/10/29/oklahoma-knocks-k-state-off-list-of-unbeatens/">PFT</a>)<br />
&nbsp;</p></blockquote>
<p>Landry will probably still go in the top 20 picks if he chooses to come out in the 2012 draft.  With the logjam at the top it may better serve him to come back to school, and <a href="http://www.mockdrafthq.com//2013-nfl-mock-draft">compete with Tyler Bray for the #1 spot in 2013</a>.</p>

<p>Lewis stands to be a top 50 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft.  He may have been a first round selection in the 2011 draft.  We&#8217;ll see if he can come back and light it up for a few games in 2012.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright size-full wp-image-477" title="murray" src="http://www.mockdrafthq.com//wp-content/uploads/2010/09/murray.jpg" alt="" width="203" height="203" />This season has seen lots of different runners explode on to the national scene.  Heisman winner Mark Ingram and his backup Trent Richardson both got a lot of press, as well as Ryan Williams of Virigina Tech, LaMichael James of Oregon, and West Virginia’s Noel Devine.  But why is no one really talking about Oklahoma’s DeMarco Murray?<span id="more-476"></span></p>
<p>He may be the best player that no one is talking about right now.</p>
<p>In just four games Murray already has 436 yards and seven touchdowns.  Only four players in the FBS have scored more times on the ground than Murray.  The 436 yards has him pegged at 16, but what is more noteworthy is the 105 carries he has taken already in just four games.  No one has carried the rock more than Murray so far.</p>
<p>It is obvious that right now Murray is Oklahoma’s offense.  He is averaging 26 carries a game and putting up the points along the way.  This ability to carry the load should really put him on the radar for the <a href="http://www.mockdrafthq.com">2011 NFL Draft</a>, but you don’t hear his name called much. Why?</p>
<p>Players like Noel Devine and LaMichael James have highlight reels of jukes and hurdles.  While Murray has done those things in the past, he has far less videogame-like highlight plays than those players.  Playing for a Oklahoma team without Sam Bradford and Jermaine Gresham also isn’t helping him make Sportscenter.</p>
<p>If Demarco Murray continues to quietly carry the Sooners offense don’t be surprised to hear his name called in the top 15 picks of the 2011 NFL Draft.  Too many teams could use a legit runner on their squad right now.  If I had to predict the future I’d say don’t be surprised to see Murray in the AFC East in 2011.  New England owns Oakland’s first rounder and could use a runner like Murray to fill the gaping hole in their backfield.</p>
