Tidbit from Bryan Lazare on Tigerbait re: passing

The coaches wouldn't let Mettenberger throw a pass on third-and-goal from Florida's 4. They would rather have a running back throw a jump pass. According to sources, the staff has little confidence in Mettenberger. That rightly stems from his two red-zone picks and fumbles earlier this year.
but...damn.

He does seem to have trouble with a very short field.
I would have liked to see a pass to the corner of the endzone with a one on one. I don't think we have tried that.
I don't think the RB pass was so much more confidence in Magee as it was simply trying to catch them off guard.

at the end of the day it tells you we have no qb. And, he's probably your qb next year.

Complete speculation on Lazarre's part. He shares sources with some of the Tards here.

i understand why miles was scared to let pass. too bad he called one of the most dipshit calls ever.

That is quite simply retarded

Coach Miles has little confidence in his QBs and then doesn't let them do anything to gain confidence. Since 1998, we have eliminated the middle of the field as an option for our QBs to throw because he is scared of the interception. Our QBs regress instead of progress because Miles makes them so tight that they have to wait until a WR is wide open before they will throw.

Isn't this the same QB that was getting raves about ball placement and him throwing where ONLY our receivers could catch it (Reid quote)??
I haven't given up on Mett.......but we need changes to our philosophy on O.

Not sure I buy it but it's pretty obvious to me that the staff doesn't trust Mett completely. The playcalling and route design is way too simplistic and safe to convey confidence. That is the frustrating part to me. I see worse teams, with worse staffs, younger QBs and worse talent, throwing the ball all over the field and allow their QB to either win it or lose it. At some point you'd think the realization that what we do isn't good enough now and that they need to just say frick it and see what happens. It's better to lose having emptied the tank than to lose playing sheltered. If they let Mett go and just air it out and he happens to throw 3-4 picks, I can live with that. At least we would have tried. The basic, simple, predictable offense we currently run is not good enough and is hindering the potential of this team. Just say frick it and see what happens. Can't be worse than what we have now.

Wait, why no link?
It seems kind of weird to say they trust him to throw a pass on one down but not on the next.

They need to let him go vertical more often. He threw 2 bombs saturday. One was a 60 yarder to OBJ who fumbled it and the 2nd was another one to OBJ but he got bumped off the route by the corner.

If the OP quote is accurate then I can help but ask why were we still throwing the ball to OBJ after the fumble?

I don't think this had anything to do with confidence in Mett...it was more of a Miles "let's see if this works" play. It was a horrible play call.

He needs to name the source or STFU!

They didn't have confidence in Lee.
They don't have confidence in Mett.
They had it in Jefferson?
What a bunch of asswipes.
