re: Do you have faith in Mettenberger?

Fulshear Tiger said it all.

zm is the absolute SLOWEST qb i've seen in 30 yrs. his LACK of mobility leaves two options with him: hand it off or throw it... there is no elusiveness to scramble and gain 3 - 5 yds. none.

zm is the anti-Johnny Manziel. zm is a qb that you don't worry about at ALL outside the pocket.

I know i'll get slammed for this, but NO, I do not have faith in ZM and here is why......

He has not shown any significant signs of being a leader on the offensive side of the ball.

He is one dimensional and cannot elude or escape the grasp of a sloth.

His passing ability and accuracy is mediocre at best.

I do not think that there is much more than ANY offensive coordinator or QB coach could do to enhance the ability or productivity of ZM.

This. Other than overthrowing, I don't think there is much more you can teach him. What was funny was that I posted in his first LSU spring game when he floated the ball sixty yards deep like a little mini blimp, wasn't going to work in live games. People where in awe about that and now you see him overthrow his deep ball almost every single time.

Thing is he has thrown for a hundred more yards this season than any other time in his career(high school and JUCO). Everything transferred over from JUCO but the TDs as he usually got intercepted in the RZ this year.

OK the dude is slower than caves forming but if we have great OL protection, than I believe he could be really good.
