Interesting to see where he'd fall in with the likes of McCarron, Murray, and Manziel (is he draft eligible?)


Do any of those guys strike you as a QB that a franchise can build around? They may be serviceable NFL QB's with winning pedigrees at the college level....but ZM is 6'5 with a cannon. QB's like him don't come around very often. Nobody in the outstanding 2012 NFL rookie QB class has his arm strength. Nobody in last years draft class did either. He's also improved his awareness and footwork in the pocket.

I've rewatched most of the game. While Mett's accuracy at times was ridiculously good, he showed more flaws than I first thought.

Now, I'm definitely happy with his overall performance, but he did almost get a pick in the red zone in the 2nd half. Should have thrown it away and not tried to force it. He also should have helped the RBs identify the DB blitzes on those 2 sacks, but I'm being nitpicky.

Point is, he did very well, but has things to improve upon.
