Mettenberger is improving

Mettenberger was 11/29 with 97 passing yards and 1 touchdown. 0 interceptions and 0 fumbles. That is the key no turnovers and a victory. It may not be heisman numbers but he got the victory. Obivously he will have to improve more against Bama but at least he is improving.

Improvement?... No.

I'm not all that concerned with the stats either
A lot of the passes we were attempting weren't high percentage balls so that's not all on the QB

No he isn't. Pocket awareness is horrible and Alabama will kill him if he doesn't improve in 2 weeks.

I wish that he was more mobile. He was able to get away from one A&M defender and toss the ball away to avoid the sack.
He hasn't yet panicked and just put the ball up for grabs. Yesterday he was definitely throwing so that only the LSU receivers had a chance for the ball...even though it lowered the chance for completions.
Generally he has made good decisions...on the play where he got the penalty for crossing the line of scrimmage he should have tucked and run and slid.

I do believe that mett along with our offense and add a little hot spice defense we can go to the promised LAND.

I think he had a little more time to throw yesterday, so he looked better. Threw the ball away instead of forcing it, so that's better. Other than that still the same quarterback

No doubt.

LSUlaxer7, where were you between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. yesterday?

It was pretty windy

That's true.
Also, our guys are stuck like glue by the defender. I thought it was just against South Carolina because their D is good, but it was similar for much of the game with the Aggies. That's a problem.
There have not been many plays this year where everyone was talking about a wide open receiver that Mett missed. Although he did miss an extremely wide open WR against A&M on that long pass where he tried to put touch on it and it sailed way over the receiver's head (I think it was Odell).

Jarvis Landry had a quote post-game that said something like "you wouldn't believe how much the wind affected the passing game today" - Mett also referenced it without making excuses about it.
It is time to put up or shut up Nov 3rd though.

Agreed. I mean he had at least two yards if he had died on the spot, right?
Posted on 10/21/12 at 9:56 pm to LSUlaxer7
no. he moves like a snail in the pocket. Bama will blitz the ever living frick out of him. He might not last the game I hate to say.

I have faith in Mett. I think he is showing signs of progress with decision making, but needs to improve pocket awareness and step into his throws more instead of leaning back and trying to place the ball. He looks like he's expecting to get hit on every play so he leans back and braces for a hit. If he can move in the pocket to passing lanes and shift his weight forward on his releases he will surprise people. He's got a great arm and throws a nice spiral, but his footwork needs a lot of coaching over the next 2 weeks... let's hope that Krags is coaching him up.

Wind didn't seem to bother Manziels passes.
Manziels problem is decision making. Makes me think of a smaller matt jones though

I want whatever you're smoking because he can not hit anybody in stride!
Posted on 10/21/12 at 10:05 pm to LSUlaxer7
Uh.... what? He's definitely not improving, the complete opposite actually
