2009 Jefferson: 182/296, 2166 yds, 17 TDs, 7 INTs
2013 Mettenberger: 192/296, 3082 yds, 22 TDs, 8 INTs

Amazing that with only 10 more completions he bagged 915 more yards and 5 more TDs.

We've come a long way from 2009

His yards per completion (16.05) are sick--and would lead the nearest NFL team by 2.7 yds.

ETA: Take out the sacks, and JJ wasn't bad at all for a first year starter.

JJ didn't have 2 stud receivers to throw to or a strong running game to lean on that year. Plus Crowton was his OC

How many sacks did each take in same years? I recall wanting to kick a hole in the wall every third time JJ dropped back in 2009.

The thing that bothered me about JJ was not the lack of offensive production so much as how confused the offense was EVERY snap. Also his attitude towards the rest of the offense when things went poorly. Not leader-like at all.

This happens when you have a QB coach to make you progress from one year to another. JJ's true sophmore year was better than Mett's redshirt junior year. He also had no run game to speak of as Jeremy Hill, after the bowl game, will have more total yards and TDs than his entire 2009 runnings backs (including Russell Shepard) combined!!! Mett was horrible his starting year here in the redzone and JJ was ranked #2 in the country in the redzone. JJ had the 30th ranked defense, Mett had the 9th.

People bag on JJ a lot, but after seeing what Mett did in one year's time with an actual QB coach, there is no doubt in my mind that we win the last three national championships had Cam came in 2010.
