I think everyone needs to pump the breaks a bit.

He'll likely see some playing time, but I have no interest in seeing him start this year. Start the 4th quarter maybe.

Mett is still a growing QB, if we are going to be successful this season we need him to continue to evolve as a passer throughout the season. In order for him to do that he will need to play late in games, even against cupcakes. When we are up by 28pts in the third or early in the 4th it opens up an opportunity for you to run plays that are more about testing his abilities than trying to win. The risk is lower.

Also, why in the hell are we using Drew Brees, NFL veteran, Super Bowl Champion, record holding QB to a fricking true freshman.

B/c people on this board are stupid.

Every player LSU signs has the ability to be special.
They measure out right, they are fast.
They are quick, They have good arms and can play.
They are the best player on the high school field 99.9% of the time.

Only problem is when they go from BFE H.S. in BFE La, to the SEC and LSU, everybody is that good.

These boy-man crushes some of these people on this site get on freshman football players who still prob have their high shcool tassel hanging on their rear view mirror is frickING CREEPY.

Geees, let the young players ease into their roles and actually prove something on the field first.

Oh my god yes it does.

You can compare styles of play to someone that everyone recognizes. They have similar builds and basic skillsets. Who are you supposed to compare players to?

I would say Mett is similar to Flacco (not because of Cameron). He is tall, big, not that mobile, has a very strong arm, but makes questionable decisions sometimes. (yes I know Flacco just played lights out, but before that he made questionable choices)

I made it clear I wasn't saying he was that good. I fricking hate you people.
