So your contention is that although Jefferson/Lee were good enough to lead us to 12-0 while beating 3 top 3 ranked teams along the way, in no way are they good enough to beat a top 12 UGA team and then win the BCS championship likely against the same Bama team they've already beaten?

Just making sure we're on the same page.

Let me get this straight... You want to bench not only our starting senior qb and our 2nd string senior qb who has helped lead us to an undefeated regular season of dominating performances where we faced one of the toughest schedules ever, for a sophomore you think might be better because he was a highly rated recruit and has thrown no more than 20 balls this year but has a higher qb rating? All this right before the two biggest games of the year? I'm just asking if that's what you want because I don't want to call you stupid if you can show everyone that you are by yourself

I don't think he got a fair shot, but that was expected

He has a 173.0 quarterback rating this year. What does JJ and JL have?


I think JJ is 165+ having thrown about 7x as many passes and JL is 155+ having thrown 15x as many passes. Why do we bother entertaining this crap? Oh yea I'm at work.

So, would you rather be playing for a championship with JL and JJ, or floundering around with Mettenberger?

I read a page and a half and it was pretty obvious this was either someone trying to get a rise out of other posters or complete retard. Either way it's a dumb thread that doesn't mean anything.

Does it really seem like anyone's opinion about anything has been remotely challenged besides their view of you?

Hopefully the QB controversy is 2 games from being finished. That being said, I really think CLM made the best decisions about the QB situation. Afterall, that's what he's getting paid to do.

I wanted to see the backup's backup^7 start this season. I know he's only 7 but that kid's highlight videos are un-fricking-believable.

I have watched Mett warm up with JJ & JL before the games. Yea he looks good. Throws good accurate passes in warm up.

He has never faced any SEC first string Defense when the game was on the line.

We have 2 battle tested SR QB's that have. Yea they may not look like Heisman QB's getting it done but they have also haven't made very many mistakes this year.

This is Mett's first year on the team and has to sit behind to 5th year SR QB's. He has the next 2 years to prove you right and I sure hope he can.

If CLM thought he could win with the other 2, who had been in his system for a long time, yes I do believe he would have played the 2 Sr. over a more impressive Soph.

NO. It takes a year to know all the plays. He could have played on a limited bases, but would you play 3 QBs together.

I heard he had some of the same problems he had at UGA at first. Heard the LSU coaches where not thrilled with his work ethic and attitude. He has big time NFL talent. Just worried about maturity. He is more physicaly talented than Murray, but there is a reason Murray beat him out.
