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 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, it will be even better.


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

I one year JUCO kid with two springs under his belt at Florida and Auburn much like Mett now. Not to mention a 6'5 250lbs QB that can run 4.4 who used those running skills throughout the season to wear down defenses. He was a freak at that position. He had almost 500 yards rushing in the first 4 games of the season alone.
