So, lets look back. i dont know a single fan that wanted bridegwater over Mett. they were in the same class and we pretty much put all our eggs into his basket. Minus the fact Mett was a juco, but they would have been in the same recruiting class @ LSU.

Lets not forget we didnt give eli rogers a scholly either. He wanted to go to school with his boy, his boy got a scholly to UL.

looking at it now, yes i would have ratherd bridegwater and yes i would have taken the package deal even though most fans and myself dont like these package deal bullshits.

All I'm saying is, I'd take Charlie Strong and his ability to let his OC/QBC command the offense over CLM's stubborn frame of mind.

Also, Bridgewater seems miles ahead of Mettenberger when it comes to pocket presence and ability to not stand in the pocket like statue.

I wanted Bridgewater. Was as good as advertised when I watched some Miami NW games on TV. Not to mention his athleticism in 7 on 7 camps. And that was at WR. I wanted Mett, also. However, living 45 min from Athens, I was very familiar with his reputation. He was as much of a liability as some other guys. Some of his is overlooked because he's not from the hood. It's not just his off the field issues, I've heard a great deal about his attitude, leadership, etc. Bridgewater was/is a qb, not an athlete that "has to" play qb in HS.
