Mett is no different than Ryan Mallett. He will never be a franchise QB

We don't know that he hasn't.
The story is an example of sensationalist journalism. There was no source given and no follow up. We don't know what Mett and/or his advisers might have communicated to the teams.
The same is true for the others named in the leak. All we have is an undocumented story from an unknown source. Not exactly my idea of professionalism.

These drug tests are called "intelligence test".
They are so easy to pass, you have to be a chronic users or a dumbass to fail it. His result is what it is, move along.

I loved your response. That was awesome.

Is it outside the realm of possibility that he was taking something to help his injury? Because NOBODY takes performance enhancing substances in the NFL.

This is true. Plenty of people drink too much water to try and rig the test and this happens. My thing is that I know of people who have done this and passed. So for Mett to fail means he was really trying too hard probably and overdid it. I don't think there's any way he "accidentally" drank too much water.
I doubt it was for PEDs. I'm sure he smoked a joint or something a few days before and got paranoid.
It is what it is, but I see no reason to suspect that Mett has an issue with drugs.
It could cost him a round or so, but he will still get drafted.
Also, it seems like OP is an Aggie troll. Just leave him alone if he's stupid enough to think that he can make a new name on this site, put his team as LSU, and get away with trolling at 1 post.

Moscona had one of the trainers that was working with him on the air and she said that he was instructed to drink extra fluids as part of his rehab to battle cramps. I'm working through multiple ligament tears in my ankle right now and I can tell you that you DO cramp up, and water helps.
As someone mentioned earlier, the LSU staff has also stated that if they do a drug test and the sample is diluted, they make the player wait until they get a good sample. Drinking excess water does not flush your system out, it just dilutes the sample to the point that the specific gravity is too low for the test to work. All that they needed to do was to have him wait a little while and take another, which I've he offered to do. The NFL policy is stupid.
And THIS. It is illegal to disclose this info, so whatever sack of shite leaked these results should be prosecuted. Of course, that won't happen.

I think this has zero affect on his draft status.
Has no one considered this might be one of those patented smokescreens that a gm leaked to get value? I mean this and the back problems.
Anyway, I agree this will noy affect him at all. No nfl team gives a shite about an inconclusive drug test unless it is a top 10 pick. Half the league smokes regularly.

Unless he was instructed to do so because of cramping which happens frequently when rehabbing.

You are sure of this? How? Apparently you have some specific information we don't have. Please share it.

Costing "a round or so" translates into serious money.

This from one of this site's master alter/troll practicioners.

You're right. I shouldn't jump to conclusions. No one knows what really happened besides Mettenberger. I'm just going off of what I know about people trying to rig drug tests.
I don't know anything about rehab for this kind of injury. I don't know how much water you are required to drink.
I'm just saying that people I know who have gotten a diluted sample drank about a gallon of water before the test. About 50% of people I have talked to who did this passed and 50% failed. So Mett must have drank a bunch of water right before.

No idea what you are talking about here. I'm definitely not an alter. Would be curious who you think I'm an alter of though.

Why didn't they make him give another sample that day?
