You're reaching by comparing Jennings to Mettenberger.
Yes, Jennings will improve, but he has a limited skillset so that the expected improvement will not come close to what we saw Mettenberger do. We can only hope that we cover his limited abilities with other stuff (QB runs, improved running game, etc.).
Oh, and one reason I don't think we see WR screens is that Jennings can't get the ball to them fast enough for the WR to do something with the ball before they are covered up. Mett could zip the ball to the sideline with enough velocity for the WR to make a move.
Mett could make every throw on the field. Jennings can't.

So funny how people revise history. People were calling for Rivers in 2012 just like they are Harris now. Believe me I know Harris is a far better talent. I mention it only to point out that there was a time when the fan base was severely down on Mett. He got Better. Jennings and Harris will get better. Maybe not as good as Mett but good enough to win games.
