Dumb.
That throw was to the spot where only a receiver could catch the ball. Everyone else was covered, you have to make those throws if you wants to be a big time QB.

I'm in the minority and choose not to FAP until I see more evidence of accuracy. Even the TD to Landry I don't think was purposeful.
We'll see but I'm skeptical. They both could have been in unintended lucky throws.
His receivers dropped balls they should have caught. Caught balls they should have missed.

Bluegrass Miracle was Marcus Randall's accuracy just on display, right?

Yeah, a hail mary is the same thing as hitting a receiver 8 yards down the field. Mett's accuracy was on display all night, those were NFL type throws.

No doubt that we would still have fricktards like this floating around the Rant.

I guess the back-shoulder throws to OBJ and Landry were both luck too.

Because I see one game in which the guy completes less than 60% of his throws and I'm not fapping over one throw? There's a difference in saying I need to see more evidence and calling someone dog shite.

All of your comments have been pretty dumb in this thread. Giving the credit to Dural for that catch? Really? It was a perfect throw. Mett was consistently on the money all night long and anyone could see he was able to progress through all of his reads. The game seems to have slowed down a lot for him. Am I ready to nominate him for Heisman? No, but to say a lot of what he did was luck is pretty retarded.

The back shoulder throw to OBJ and the out to Landry are all the evidence you need...unless, of course, you have no interest in evidence because you're overly invested in your prediction of the program's decline.

It was a pro throw. Short passes to the middle of the field are the hardest to defend because there's no time to react. As long as you can fit the pass between the underneath defenders, the receiver is the only one that can catch it. Mett also threw it high in the event that the outside lb anticipated the throw it would be almost impossible to pick it off. Great pass.

Mett has really looked better in the first game. I think he will be very good the rest of the season. He seemed to know when to make the right decision not like last year when he took so many sacks.

yes, good plays usually happen as a result of good execution

Yeah, until I see more evidence. I'll chalk it up to luck in that particular situation. Those deep throws displayed his improved accuracy without being under duress- I want to see more about how he reacts when getting rushed. I want to see those short throws in more games.
If he continues to place the ball like that, I'll be more impressed. But I'm not watching one game in which he completes 50% of his passes and calling him the next Brett Favre over 3-4 passes. His accuracy was great at times this game. I hope he continues to display it.

Landry is also LSU’s only receiver who can catch the ball in heavy traffic. Beckham Jr. dropped a couple of passes, as did other receivers, that were catchable. The receivers also need to be more consistent in creating space for Mettenberger to deliver the football.
This guy did some quality research!

The ball was in the one spot where the defender couldn't get to it. You think Mett didn't see the guy hugging Landry? Or do you think Mett was trying to throw the ball ahead of Landry right at the defender and just missed, accidentally throwing the ball to the perfect spot?
Mett made a number of throws that were next league caliber throws. The two passes in the end zone to Smith and Dural were perfectly placed and would've been touchdowns in Dural had held onto the ball and the defender hadn't gone through Smith to get a touch on the ball. The back shoulder pass to OBJ was flawless. The three or so 10-20 yard outs were also perfectly placed (at least once through double coverage).
Mett hasn't had a chance to show consistency across games yet, but there was plenty of evidence Saturday showing that Mett can be consistently accurate.

I think Mett's best throw of the night was the one Dural dropped in the end zone. That was a perfectly placed laser that our receivers need to catch. The DB made a decent play once Dural had his hands on it, but he needs to haul that in. That was an NFL level throw.

This:
Contradicts this:
So he throws a laser into traffic where only his receiver can get it for a completion but it's a bad decision he lucked out of? Not to mention he would have taken a sack otherwise, but stepped into the pressure, and had several other "lucky" throws put on the money that went for 3rd down conversions.
Go hit a golf ball 350 yrds.

He was staring down a sack, stepped up in the pocket and delivered a strike in traffic. You're not going to get any more clear cut evidence.
