re: Offensive woes self-fulfilling prophecy?

As I stated he had an easy job. Doesn't make him the Mythical All-American that TD and some LSU fans turned him into over the last year. He got benched because he showed in the Bama game to be the same QB as before and was not dependable in a less than coddling situation.
I am just glad the two QBs from the past four years are gone and tired of people making them out to be more than they were.
Eventhough Mett still has room to grow he is much better than those two guys as a QB.

You're not giving enough credit where credit is due. JL inherited the starting job a week before the season which began with Oregon (away), rent-a-win (home), State (away on short week), WVU (away). Nothing "coddling" about that. Moreover, his timely passes were a key component to our O's success last year.
Was he "coddled" in the Swamp in '10 on the last drive? Was he "coddled" vs Bama in '10 when he had to fill in on 3rd and 13 in the 4th? He certainly wasn't coddled in '08.
No reason to speak pejoratively of JL as the "Mythical All-American." Tiger fans appreciate that although he was booed worse than any Fr player in our history, he chose to stay and fill in as needed.
This parting thought: how many losses (reasonably speaking) would we have had the last two seasons without him?

I don't see Mett being much better than jj or lee. Lee played great and our offense could do some damage with Lee. Last year he played very well until Alabama. JJ's mobility saved us some too. Mett has one thing on both of them and that is he is not afraid to get hit. The truth is..... TM7 carried us last year and we could have easily lost 2-3 games with out him. Offense has been sputtering since miles won in 07 with Sabans recruits. Every year since 07 it has been a variation of the same bad offense.

Doesn't make him (Lee) the Mythical All-American

It's funny that you mention coddling and not mention the other qb

I'd agree with that even though lee played better in the first 6 games than Mett has
Although, a majority of Mett's problems haven't been his fault at all with poor o line play and even worse wide receivers.

Because he threw two picks in one game?
That's pretty crazy to bench your starter for two turnovers in one game.
If that's the case, Jefferson should have never played either and Hilliard this year should have been benched.
