re: I have read a variety of idiotic opinions on this site

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.
