Because comparing Mett to arguably the greatest QB in NFL history makes an ounce of sense.

Mcshay actually made a good point in that video. OBJ and Juice saved Metts career. I'd also add in the fact that having an explosive running game helped him out greatly.

NFL Network > ESPN. Mett wouldn't be getting so much publicity if he was going to go in the 4th round. None of those mock drafts ever hold up anyway.

Brady is a system QB.
I'm not saying he isn't good, but sign me up for arguing against him as the greatest in NFL history.

Plus, they are both pocket passers.... does that not count as an ounce?
Would he not do well in a similar system?

Every year you hear discussion about how NFL QBs need to be pocket passers and throw from the pocket in order to succeed. But come draft time, athletic ability and college highlight reels cloud everyone's judgement.
It's like we all have to learn the same lesson over and over again.

Mett is the traditional stereotype for an NFL pocket passer, and he gets labeled 4th Round.
Manziel gets shite one by LSU twice, scrambles around and throws up prayers vs Bama, and boom... #1 overall option.

this is such bullshite. the worst WR or RB in the NFL is at least on par with Jarvis or Odell or Hill. i'm not disparaging our guys, i'm just making the point that even the worst NFL players were exceptional players at the college level (even if their college careers were less than expected, NFL players are all incredibly gifted).
