Ok guys. Just hear me out. I like lee alot and I have always supported him but seeing mett tonight for the first time( yes against northwestern st.) made me think wow what this team could be like with him.

Think about this. Remember Jamarcus? There was really never a time I felt nervous with him in. I felt the same way with mett in. Again I understand it was against weak talent but he looked poised in control and really no throw be threw looked poor.

Be reminds me alot of big Ben at the college level. I love lee don't get me wrong but this kid showed me something and it's important to have as a QB. He showed me a relaxed in control savvy about himself that just fits with our offense and the sec.

I really feel that tonight was a sign of things to come and the coaches have to know that.

The opening drive in the 3rd quarter looked so simple and easy it was relaxing to watch.

Here is the only arguementative question I have. What does Lee have and has shown that Mett doesn't after tonight?

That is all.

It's easier to relax up 28.

At this point the only thing that reminds me of Big Ben is both of their last names end in erger.

Experience and has played in SEC games. Won a game in the swamp. I don't know but I would think since he has been here 4 years he is looked at as more of a leader than a guy who has been here for months.

I was very impressed with mett tonite but most QB's have to gain experience slowly before being thrown into the fire.

look at it this way. J Lee is the starter. If at some point within a upcoming game, maybe LSU needs Mett. Let's see if he's ready in that kind of situation (unlike tonight where he/we knew he would play), before we throw him in as a starter. JL is a 5th year senior who has stuck it out really unlike any player I have seen. He's earned my respect and he deserves to lead this team until he needs some help, if he ever does. JMO

Dude, you're typing. I can't hear you type.

I like Lee my damn self. Glad we agree. Seeing Mett made me think, "He sure looks good going against Walk-On-level players. I wonder what would happen if Saban ran a zone-blitz with Cover 1 Robber behind it & he threw into the blitz & watched a Linebacker step in front of his pass into the flat & walk it in for 6, while taking a shot to the chin that made him think his name was Ali & that someone named Smokin' Joe just got ahold of him?"

quote:

You felt that way because he felt zero pressure because of the situation, the score, and the opponent, dude. You're focusing on the player's performance & ignoring the context of the player's performance.

Sort've like saying a guy pitched a 9-inning-no-hitter, whose catcher committed 3 errors which allowed the last out to get on base, advance to 2nd, then 3rd, & then home, is not as good as the guy that beat him, who gave up 7 hits & several warning-track shots. You're going off of purely statistical & result-oriented information, and not taking into consideration the context of the performance. The devil is found in those details, bro.

Judging by what you're posting, I really don't think you understand that, at all. Because you'd temper your take & use a little common sense if so. That was the kid's first action in major college ball, and it was against a team that his JUCO could've probably beaten last year.

quote:

Big Ben was a fatass as a Soph in Tiger Stadium when Saban made him look foolish on his way to destroying his team in a Non-Con cakewalk early in the season. He got better, but if Saban did that to him, what do you think St. Nick's capable of doing to the kid who reminds you of Whattasexualassaultburger?

quote:

You're not convincing me. Typically, the conjunction but in a sentence is used to negate and/or discount everything that came before it.

quote:

He showed me a relaxed in control savvy about himself that just fits with our offense and the sec.


Wow. Trying to apply his demeanor & poise on the field against NSU to him playing the exact same way against the SEC is beyond daisy-chain logic. It's just plain stupid. What highly talented player can't dominate against a crappy team like the one we played tonight? When the lights go on and millions tune in, nevermind when you get a remember me shot in your earhole, only THEN will we find out what Mett's like.

quote:

This kid could've thrown two pick-sixes, & I'd still agree with you. I think he's going to be good.

We were playing Northwestern. fricking. State.

Oh, gee, I dunno. Let's start with these: Lee won in The Swamp. Lee took us down the field against Tennessee. Lee converted when we had to have it against Alabama late in the 4th quarter.

I think that just about covers it.

Step 1.) Go to this link and save yourself the trouble of coming out of the ranter closet LINK

Step 2.) Support our experienced QB that has done nothing to lose his job and watch him bring this team a championship

Step 3.) Watch Mett step in next year and also lead this team to championships

Yeah...bad comparison with Big Ben. But...I believe Big Ben is the reason Mett is here at LSU

i admit ZM did more natural and comfortable in the pocket. but it's easy to hypothetically roll the dice on an unproven qb in our fantasy rant world. in the real world it's an unnecessary for the coaching staff considering it appears we have a grip on our schedule with what we're going with now, especially with our D. for the time being, we don't need to play with that sense of urgency because we control our destiny. no matter how you slice it, mett is green in the gills and lacks the experience to take the reigns. we may see mett later, but where we stand now it would be an illogical move.

You may have felt comfortable with Jamarcus because he was talented, but how many championships did he win? During a championship run often times the best play is to check into a three yard run, or a simple dump down, but you need to have seen it first in order to really understand this. This is why Lee will play over Mett. It's the exact same reason Flynn is a national champion and J-Russ is not. I hope people can understand this. Lee at least knows his limitations while Mett does not, and it would be imprudent to simply ignore the experience that Lee brings to the table in favor of a guy who has yet to play in an SEC game unless it is absolutely necessary.

This at is an out and out lie. There are no facts to support that statement. LSU won the championship, despite having two losses like the year before, because Missouri and WV lost (Completely out of Flynn's control). Also RP QB'd the team to a win in the SEC championship game (Lose that game, no championship).

The JR led team lost two games on the road to top 10 teams and two tradional top SEC teams (Aubrun & Florida). The Flynn led team lost at home and to two much lower ranked teams (Arkansas & Kentucky) that had done nothing of note in the SEC. JR's numbers were better than Flynn's across the board in all measurable QB stats. He set LSU records. To claim that Flynn somehow read defenses better than JR is not supported by the facts and is being dishonest. LSU and its players deserve better.

Why not say we have two vastly improving QBs and be glad to celebrate this, esp. after the last couple of years?

The best thing to take from the game is that if something happens to Lee we may have a decent backup.

OK, calm down, getting all the Rantards in a tizzy

You will see him this year, he will play, Lee will not last the whole year without injury, so he will get his chances, in some bigger spots than last night

Patience....
