It has been a while since LSU has had a pocket passer. With the O-line and RB's coming back, we had better use this guy like we are supposed to, and not just have him hand off. I'm tired of Miles being bull headed with his strategy to run all the time. A balanced offense will put us in the NC game again next year.

Hell, I think ZM looked off more defenders in that one video than we've seen either QB look off the past 4 years.

He looks older, bigger in that vid than he does now.

Amen! Can't wait for Mett to get out there and sling it

Man, would love to see him throwing to Randle. The way RR gets open deep, he could have had a ridiculous number of long TDs had he chosen to stay.
Oh well. Not to be. Hopefully, those other guys step up.
Passing game looks good with Mett next year.

The ball is always spiraling nose slightly down. This means he has a nice high release point with some power behind it. Shouldn't see too many tail wobbling passes oversailing receivers.

He is accurate and can throw receivers open. That is a particular skill that we have not seen from JJ and saw a little from JL. "Open" receivers does not mean they are 3 yards separated from the defender. It means that the ball placement is where the receiver has the best chance to catch versus the defender. If Mett is not a knucklehead then we are in good shape.

Yeah, really good point. Saw him play in JC. He does keep the nose of the ball down. Less passes sail; fewer INTs.

Was coming to post this exactly.
Throws "down" to his targets. Might get some low balls thrown from time to time. However, its the high ones that are usually intercepted.

Of course the great thing is, that video is 3 1/2 years old. ZM is much bigger and stronger now and from what few glimpses we've seen since last spring he's still just as accurate.

hey yall think mett will get some PT next year
Posted on 1/19/12 at 12:33 pm to turbodog34
Mett looks better in his video than Gunner looked in his, not that it matters. Mett is special and LSU/fans and all are lucky to have him. Very excited about this year. Anyone think if he has a great season he leaves for the pros?

The only downside of that video is that he might be breaking some fingers with the heat he puts on the ball. I guess the WR's will have to adjust to having someone that can put some zip on the ball.

Everyone looks good in shorts and a tee shirt, but WOW. I love his arm and release!!!!
