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

I guess definitions of cocky vary. He seems confident in his abilty and didn't say we will win the national championship or he was the best. He always seems to emphasize that we have a good team and basically want to prove himself on the field which he thinks we can.

Cocky in my opinion would be him saying stuff like:
I was the best qb last year and should have started.
QB position will be better with me.
National Championship here we come.
4000 yards passing is what I will do.
etc etc.

Most of those quotes of his had sentences surrounding them that take some of the edge off of what it sounds like without hearing the question he was asked or the other words he said surrounding those quotes.

I don't know, and don't propose to know. He might be the cockiest sob to ever walk the face of the earth but tones it down during interviews. To me he accepted his role as 3rd string last year, have not seen anything about that not being the case.
