bullshite, you mean thats when Mettenberger decided to throw at our recievers?
You must be single, apparently you have masterbated yourself blind.
Was there SOME issues at QB at begining of season. Yes.
Did the receivers drop a ton of passes first part of the season? YES
Did the o-line have trouble giving Mettenberger time to throw for the first part of the season? YES.
There were multiple reasons the ball was not consistently thrown in general (which includes being thrown to Landry) for the first part of the season. To say its because Mettenberger finally decided to throw to our receivers is retarded. Even Miles said that he sees better catches than the one Landry had almsot everyday in practice. But you are kidding yourself if you think any of the receivers (including Landry) were catching passes (like they are now) in the first half of the season.
Mett's job isn't always to put the ball in the receiver's numbers... sometimes he has to put the ball where only his WR has a CHANCE to make the catch. He has done that all season (more consistently now with more reliable receivers and consistent play from the o-line).
In SEC play, getting just a few feet of seperation from the coverage is generally all you can get in man coverage. (unless you have an absolute beast at receiver, or its a blown coverage) Tight coverage means the QB can't just throw the ball directly to the receiver's chest because its too close to the cover man. Put it to his outside by 2-3 feet, and only the receiver has a shot on the ball.

Exactly. I actually was defending our 2 qbs last year because even though they werent very good, our wrs werent making the catchable ones. Wrs that get drafted high like an aj green, catch anything thrown there way
Doesnt have to be on the numbers. Thats what makes an elite wr. One we havent had in a while.
