re: Have we ever had as "cocky" a starting qb as Mett before?

Everyone has a right to their own opinion, but the quotes below tell me he is cocky, if you disagree fine, but as you can see by posts all over this board I am not alone...I am not saying it is bad even if he is, was simply saying IMO he is more cocky than most if not all of our previous QB's and he has never even started a game. But unilke JJ haters etc. I will be supporting whoever plays all year

I was ready last year if Coach [Les] Miles had needed me and feel confident that I could have gone in there and won games.”

“I definitely look at it as it’s my team, and I’m not going to let one of these young kids take it away from me,” Mettenberger said matter-of-factly before LSU lost to Alabama 21-0 in the BCS National Championship Game.
I think I’ve done well this season,” said Mettenberger, the former Butler (Kan.) Community College and Georgia transfer. “I think the coaches know I’m the right man for the job.

I do feel like I'm a very confident person," Mettenberger said. "You have to be confident in yourself to play the game of football. You look at the Tyrann Mathieus all the way back to Deion Sanders, there's a fine line between cocky and confidence, and you've got to flirt with that line sometimes to be a good football player."

"I feel like I have a very good football mind," Mettenberger said. "I may not be able to do arithmetic or stuff like that, but I can go out there and digest the X's and O's of the offense and defense really easily."
I think I’ve done a good job of really stepping into a leadership role on this team.
"I'm 20 years old. I'm ready to take the reins of a team and lead them to a championship."

"I was kind of a big name coming in with the transfer and everything ... my situation in the past. I'm used to this. I'm looking forward to the season start and to get to play."
"I believe in my abilities as a quarterback, and I think the coaching staff does as well,"
"We have a lot of great players, and the next three years, I think we have three really good chances of winning the national title."
