Mett was never going to start this year being his first year in the SEC and not really grasping the playbook yet. Miles had already indicated during the year that Mett needed to mature more. Most coaches won't just throw an inexperience QB to the wolves just because. He went with experience just like most coaches would. Just like Saban did when he opted to play Randall over Flynn and Russell. It wasn't because they were worse with their mechanics or had less skill. It was because they had less experience which is something you can't manufacture. Mett was given the time to learn the playbook and ease into the starting position. Their shot at winning a BCSNC is just as good in 2012-2013 year as it was last year. If QB play takes a step forward, which I expect it will, the chances of winning it all will be even better. This was a team of largely sophomores and juniors on the field.

I sure wish Gene Chizik would have taken this philosophy instead of playing that one-year JUCO kid.

With how the situation played out in the BCSNC game, it really bothers me that Miles had PP7 sitting the bench for kick returns and PP7 ONLY got a shot at that role because HE himself talked Miles into it. Miles is so dense apparently that he could not see the opportunity in PP7 on his own. This REALLY makes me wonder about what else he does NOT see in our players in the future. Fact.
