re: Why was Lee named starting QB over Mettenberger?

I want the best man to start at QB. That man is clearly Mettenberger.

Wrong.

Mettenberger has the best physical attributes. Height, arm strength, and can make all the throws. What separates Lee from him is leadership. Right now word on "da screet" is that Mett needs to mature, learn the offense, and grow into the leadership position. Lee is a 5th year senior, he's a leader, knows the offense like the back of his hand (from his own mouth), and when he's in a rhythm he's pretty damn good.

Don't discount Lee. He was Jarrett "pick 6" Lee when he was a freshman. He's had 3 years to learn from those mistakes and grow as a QB. Lee has great upper body mechanics, but has "happy feet" and throws off of his back foot, something a good QB coach can fix - enter Krags. Lee will be improved and I think he is fully capable of leading us to the "promise land".
