re: A national perspective on Zach Mettenberger

uhhh I wanted a good QB that could read a defense and hit wide arse open WRs at times, and somehow be a decent leader. We got none of that!! Spare me the pass protection and early season drops horse shite. Both of those issues improved throughout the season, unlike Mett's play. He's not garbage by any means, but he's not good either.
Apologies to the sunshine pumpers, but this guy is correct. Sure Mett showed flashes of brilliance, but he was consistently average last year. I've heard a lot of excuses for Mett, but the guy's just average. And he has NO LEADERSHIP skills, which is very important for a QB.
Look, we all hope that Cam makes a difference and the OL and receivers play better to help Mett out. But Mett simply didn't show the elite skills we were hoping for last year. This year could be different, but I'm not holding my breath. Usually guys that "have it" show it immediately. Last year Mett was a redshirt junior with two years in our system. We may see marginal improvement this year, but I think last year is a good indication of what Mett has.

Two reasons why Mett improves:
Having a legit OC will do wonders for this kid and the Tiger offense on whole. Hopefully Les will let Cam put the athletes the Tigers have in position to be athletes and put the 70's cloud of dust and gimmicks offense in the rearview.

He needs to be 10 percent better on his completion percentage and yards. In addition to this we needs to throw 25 tds and no more than 7 interceptions this season.
10 percent more yards would put him at 2,870 yards passing, 10 percent more passes completed would put him at 69 percent completed. I believe that the addition of Leslie and Dural will help with the TD number, and we are also returning 2 guys that would be un-real slot players on any other team, and they will actually get to play the slot this year. This in addition to the utilization of the tight end and backs in our passing game will create all kinds of issues for opposing teams. This is the major difference that Cameron will make. Exploiting matchups.
If Mett is 10 percent better than he was last year, and throws more touchdowns, the offense will be explosive. 2,870 yards, 69 percent, 25/7.
That is what he is capable of.
