re: Ive been watching Mett pretty close

Mett has had to play within the confines of the system that the coaches plan out for him. He doesn't call his own plays. He is making his fourth start this upcoming Saturday.

He throws accurate enough and has room to improve with experience. You must understand that his receivers are very young and inexperienced. They too must improve in order for his talents to be show cased properly. Give him time. Next year he may be the heisman qb you are looking for. This year he is still learning what he can do and how to play qb in the sec. Give him a break.

Basically
He ranks somewhere in the 30's as far as QB prospects go, in my professional opinion. He is good, not great. We are just use to seeing a miserable product put out on the field.

Just a thought but maybe Mett is throwing where the reciever should be and instead the reciever is a yard closer / further / behind / or ahead of where they should be and it causes them to have to adjust. Maybe the throws are on the money and its just unpolished receivers running bad routs. Mayb be why CLM still sings Mett's praises.

The OP was worried that Mett might not come through in a bad situation. The point is that even being just a 30 something rated QB is enough (given the other parts of the LSU machine) to get to and win the BCSNCG and the chances of those worrisome hypothetical situation are very low.

The worst was 1/9 when Bama dared LSU throw and there was no one to do so with reliability. Even if Mett does have a lower percentage of just 40-50 % completion against similar Defenses, it would still be better than what it was before and what was there before was 13-0 and an SEC title.

Mett is doing just fine for his limited experience and he is unquestionably better than any LSU QB in the last few years.He is not perfect and does have a few weaknesses that he can improve on:
1) On some occasions he does the classic JJ stare down of his primary receiver
2) He has too much confidence in his ability to throw into every window even when one isn't there. examples: he forced a throw on a quick out near opponent's goal that should have been picked and then on the next play threw an int.Then last week same thing ; near idaho's goal threw into quadruple coverage and on the next play threw the int. when receiver was not open.

But,that being said, he can and will improve. And his ability will prevent teams from stacking the box or at least he'll make teams that do pay the price,imo.

if there is any place for concern in our passing game its not Mett, its our line failing to protect adequately. Josh looked pitiful at left tackle against weak competition. I'm afraid most SEC ends are gonna kick his arse.

Also, the coaches are just starting to get some real game film on mett to evaluate exactly what he does well and what they need to work on. They can better formulate what plays work well for him and which situations and plays both he and his receivers excell in. This is a work in progress. Mett is at least as good as our senior was last year and he's only three games into his career as lsu's starter.
