Jamarcus Russell vs. Zach Mettenberger through 1st 4 games as Starter

Mett through 4 games: 63/93, 67.7%, 8.37 YPA, 778 yards, 4 TD, 2 INT.
Russell through 4 games in 2005: 72/113, 63.7%, 7.78 YPA, 880 yards, 5 TD, 2 INT.
Russell finished that season 188/311, 60.5, 2,443 yards, 7.85 YPA, 15 TD, 9 INT
Mett's accuracy seems to be quite a bit better. He's also generating more big plays with less receiving talent (no Bowe, Doucet, Buster).
I think it's a bit premature to completely poo-poo the passing game.

Remains to be seen if Mett has 'less receiving talent'....OD Jr may end up being the best of the whole lot.

Russell was also asked to do a hell of a lot more IMHO

Interesting post, looks like Russell had a harder schedule but good seeing the comparison. Here's hoping Mett lights it up for the rest of the season

Don't forget Jamarcus started 4 games in 2004 while these are Mett's first starts.
