you mad bro?

Nobody is demanding the best damn passing game in the SEC.
many on this board were mad when Mett was competing almost 70% of his passes. They couldn't wrap their head around the OL and WR issues and continuously threw Mett under the bus.

Just a viable threat that puts up reasonable numbers
Mett is on a pace similar to every QB we've had in the past 10 years.

You idiots are the people that see this as an unreasonable request.
not taking the bait

It's not even the numbers, really
If you are going to try and measure how good something is or how much better something is, you have to have some metric. Your opinion of Mett's play isn't a valid metric to me, so unfortunately I have to goto the stats from the games where emotion is taken out of the equation.
quote:
Our passing game has looked like a completely confused mess over the past 4-5 seasons
No offense to JJ, but he started about 75% of all games during that time and he wasn't a great passer regardless of the OC or scheme. That was a talent issue. He was great throwing off the run, not great when sitting in the pocket. We became a running team out of necessity and now it's become a major strength of LSU.

That's not a talent issue.
Yes, LSU has had talented QB's come in and again, we've been a perenial top 10 team over the past 10 years or so. However, no QB has stepped into the SEC and been lights out passing from day 1. THey all went through a rough year or so before they finally got it all together. It was the same way with Murray, Bray, McCarron, etc. THe defenses in this league are too good and too fast. The time we were supposed to be able to have Mett in game throwing the ball and getting ready, was when our OL went to shite and we were scrambling to get it fixed before Mett got carted off.

McCarron's first year starting:
2700 yards, 67% comp, 16 TDs, 5 INTs
Bray's first year starting:
1850 yards, 56% comp, 18 TDs, 10 INTs (as a true F with zero OL)
Murray's first year starting:
3050 yards, 61% comp, 24 TDs, 8 INTs
So I am inclined to disagree.
