Nice analysis, and good football exchange. I would love nothing more for the guy to be great, I worry though that he is going to be closer to average.
With the exception of Towson, agree with you here.
This is the major issue I see -- consistency. I expect a little better at this point.
I hear you, and there is no right answer, but he has to address this. Whether it be in increased presence/recognition of what the defense is going to do, or something else, he has to be more thna a one-trick pony. those guys cannot survive a full-slate of SEC-defenses. I was more thinking of towards the end of UF game and at times against Towson when they ran multiple wide sets.

AGAIN i said glimpses... not 100% consistent.

Goes back to being in 7-man protections for an entire game. When you only have 1 or two receivers running routes, locking onto them really isn't a big deal. You aren't disguising your target by not looking at him... the DBs can see the one or two people you have out in routes. Not locking onto a receiver only helps because you keep the coverage guessing where its going, that doesn't really work too well with only two options, and one of them just ran a 5 yrd curl route on 3rd and 10.

Towson was a cluster at every position on the field... i try not to think about that game. lol
The issue with consistency is it can be caused by factors other than the QB. QB hurries, WRs dropping balls, WRs being blanketed and breaking off their route to run back to the QB when he scrambles (so the QB And WR don't know what the other is going to do) are all things that can influence the perception of consistency. If we get improved and more consistent line and receiver play, I honestly think Mett will be more consistent.
Drew Brees looks pedestrian too when he is lying on the turf every play, or when you look at his box score and ignore the fact that henderson has bricks for hands (used to). And he atleast has more than 1 target to choose from.
As far as D recognition... I kinda put this on the coaches for the time being. On offense they run up to the line get set, and instead of Mett reading the D and possibly calling an audible, the coaches have the team checking with the side lines. So the responsibility of reading the d-pre snap is kinda taken off the responsibility of the QB. Miles likes to do this, so I wouldn't necessarily say that this is the case because they think Mett is dumb.
The point is the time MEtt WOULD be reading the D... he is spending looking at the sideline getting an audible call. That takes away precious seconds for him to be watching the D players for any hints as to what they will do post-snap.

So you want to bench the qb who has shown improvement every week?
