Why does Mett not run for some yardage when flushed from pocket

It looks like he could at least gain 5 yds or so on some of the runs to the sidelines, but he throws it away. Does he not have a feel for the game or is he being told to "just throw it away".
For that matter, I know that Mett is not the swiftest guy, but even JaMarcus, who was a pocket qb, would get some 3rd down conversions by running up the middle like a draw when the coverage was good.
Is Mett that uncomfortable running or is he being coached to not make a mistake. C'mon man! If the guy has talent, then let him be aggressive.

Well when he gets 5 yards past the los he prefers to still throw it

Because he runs like a tortoise with hemroids.

REALLY?
Posted on 10/22/12 at 8:30 pm to cajun5tiger
when you see him rolling toward the sidelines it seems that maybe 90% of the time he's going to throw it away.

I don't know. Probably the same reason Drew Bledsoe isn't usually compared to Michael Vick?

Too slow, jamarcus wasnt fast, but he was hard to bring down unless he tripped himself. Jmarc did a fricking cart wheel into the endzone. Mett also threw the ball 4 yds passed the los. If you noticed also, it takes him so long to get down he has to slide way before a defender is near him losing valuable yardage.

Wondered this as well. Seems like he could gain at least 1-3 yards during a few of those scrambles. Any positive yardage is big for this offense.

Have you seen him run?
Posted on 10/22/12 at 9:02 pm to cajun5tiger
First time I saw him, against Ole Miss I think, He took off on a naked bootleg and gained good yardage. Of course Miles yelled at him and sat him down.

TagaMett is scared to get hit. Watch him as soon as the pocket begins to collapse. Particularly, in the middle. He immediately goes into the tornado safety position.

Good point. He would do well for himself and the passing game if he would just run every now and then when the opportunity is there. One more element to keep the defensive backs honest. This is why having Spencer Ware at QB could be the best move the Tigers have available going forward the rest of the season - at least in the red zone. I think Ware was a QB in HS as well.

Yeah, he's super slow, but if your going to throw the ball 20 yards over the line of scrimmage, then run the damn ball.
He had a few times Saturday when he could have run it. Over an incomplete pass, I'll take a two-yard gain. He's acting like he doesn't have legs at times. He needs to change that.

I've seen the guy trip over a hash mark. Not sure if it's a head thing or if he's just that clumsy.

why does radio shack ask for your phone number when you buy batteries? i don't know.

evidently, neither are you….
as far as Mett's running ability, i've seen better legs on a table….
Posted on 10/22/12 at 11:38 pm to cajun5tiger
Because Mett is just not that good.

As far as I can tell, he has legs so I know he can run. A few yards is better than nothing.
