re: Zach Mettenberger- Topic on Cowherd

You cant throw the ball like he can and have small hands. prob other factors

quote:

Mettenberger is third among all quarterbacks (rookies and veterans) with 356 passing yards and is only one of nine with multiple touchdown passes. Likewise, his 105.7 quarterback rating is third overall, and his average of 11.1 yards is by far the league’s best, more than a full yard better than second place Blake Bortles, the first quarterback taken in this year’s draft and the only other rookie among the top 15 in that category.

While coming against teams in exhibition games, those stats are still eye-popping, especially when comparing him to say a Johnny Football.

Read some of the Titan MB stuff and he's already the future guy for them, just depends on when that coaching staff pulls the trigger.

Good to see Mett doing well.

He will have a good career if he can learn to gain confidence after an INT. I still think his biggest flaw was how he would get down on himself and go sulk over the the bench and sit down after making a mistake. If he can learn to take the occasional INT in stride, then he will demonstrate his leadership skills better to his NFL teammates.

Agreed. Never liked the sulking, leave me alone demeanor he sometimes showed at LSU.

But if he continues on the same path he's on now, that confidence will come. Way too early to say definitively but it appears he has a shot at a way above average pro career.
