...but several recently have shocked me. The question was posed whether Mett should be benched. That was followed by a litany of people accusing the asker of being an idiot and stating that Mett is not the problem and has been "fine." Well, I don't know what games these people have been watching, but I'd like them to take a step back and answer a few questions:

1. Is it "fine" that the quarterback has ZERO mobility?
2. Is it "fine" that when handed the keys to the offense against Towson, we struggle to consistently move the ball?
3. Is it "fine" that from all outward appearances, including sideline interactions and his on field presence he appears to (a) have few friends on the team; (b) has the respect of none on the team; and (c) looks like he'd rather be downing shooters at Snorkel's?
4. Is it "fine" that on gameday, his decision-making tells him that it is a good idea to play dress up and post the picture to the world?
5. Is it "fine" that he has zero leadership skills, and certainly provides none to the offense?

My only gripe with Miles will be what you typical Rantards bitch about, his stubborness in sticking with Mett (which ironically most of you Rantards would melt down about if, for instance, the QB that currently wears #8 were JJ). Yes, he should be benched, and any sane person would see that EVEN with drops and mistakes on the O-line.

Peyton Manning would not put up good numbers behind our line. Towson gets three sacks? Tells you all you need to know. Backs don't pick up the right guys, oline gets pushed around. He snaps ball and is under pressure. Throw drops on top and there you have it.

Mett is prolly the best option LSU has.
We should have seen more of other QBs during 4th of the blowouts, ditto for Mett last year.
I fear we will need another before the season ends.

There's no other good alternatives at QB because this staff does not develop QB talent very well. This has been occurring for the last 5 years. Mett is the default position just like JJ was.

bullshite. he can move. the TD pass that Shep dropped was from Mett moving out of the pocket. the one that Beckham dropped along the sideline vs. UF was out of the pocket.

he extended another play the other day vs. UF on a 3rd down by moving out of the pocket and at least giving his WRs a chance to convert (the one where he was flushed left).

for the most part, he's putting the ball where it needs to be. his WRs need to make plays. period.

Are people still pissed that Mett didn't play on 1-9?

you do not know any of this to be fact. therefore, you are guessing. that's fine. but don't represent it as fact, it is YOUR OPINION and baseless.

I'll answer with some questions of my own.

1) Reference mobility. Can you think of any good QBs that are not very mobile? If not, you fail.

2)Reference offensive struggles. After struggling with 3 different QBs now for almost 5 years, do you consider it possible that it aint all the QBs?

3)Pure conjecture on your part unless you have super powers.

4)Who fricking cares? What's it got to do with playing ability?

5)Again, how do you know it's him? How many different QBs have to struggle under Miles before it becomes Miles fault.
