re: In regards to Mett, is he a student of the game?

From watching him, I think the top problem isn't attitude or leadership. I see 2 issues. One is mechanics, he has a tendency to rush throws without setting his feet. Next time you see one of his passes sail watch the replay carefully, generally you will see a pass rusher about 2 steps away and Mett throwing the ball quickly off his back foot instead of taking the time to set and throw properly. He hasn't realized yet that he has enough time to throw right and doesn't need to rush it so much, hopefully the game will "slow down" for him a bit and he'll work that out. The other issue is play calling. The coaches haven't put him in a position to succeed, they never quit on the running game when they are getting stuffed with 8-9 defenders in the box but a couple of dropped passes and they quit on the pass. It's a philosophy common to a Les Miles coached team, and I can't see that part changing ever.

I think he is well coached. He is coached not to turn the ball over. He is coached to be a no risk QB. He over throws receivers because it is a safe throw. He throws the ball out of bounds on roll outs because the receiver is in tight coverage.
Rule number one: do not turn the ball over.
