Mett can sling it and is accurate with a pretty quick release.
He will play and was beating out Murray while at Georgia...and he outplayed him while at LSU last year...Murray had some sick receivers in his time there as well.
Translation...steal for anyone in the 4th. I think it's great though, that means a solid team will take him to learn under their starter. Someone like NE wouldn't surprise me one bit.

Those guys are future hall of famers who are not only athletic, but obviously bring other rare skill-sets like pocket presence, poise, and accuracy to the game. Pump the brakes on comparing Mettenberger to three of the top QBs of an era; two are certainly among the best of all time.
ETA: And no one is calling Mett garbage. Assessing him as a mid-round draft pick after a college career that most would rate as decent and a serious knee injury is not at all a ridiculous proposition.

It's a new game and unless you have the great wall at OL, you are dead meat being that slow. Mett still can't read defenses which makes up for guys like Brady and Manning who lack mobility. They both also have way better pocket presence.
I Mett is a great, big, tough guy with a rocket arm, but too many times, he relied on that arm strength instead of manipulating the defense. It also shows when your receivers have to make constant acrobatic catches. Mett needs 3-4 years in the system to learn the mental part of the game that masks his mobility problem, and that is a 3rd-4th round pick up.
I really hope he does do good and does get higher drafted, but Mett is not a year one, two, or maybe even three, starter.
