Difference is Mett showed flashes of greatness all throughout the 2012 season. We haven't seen any of those flashes from AJ. Not yet at least. Can he possibly turn it around and make me eat my words? Hell yes, but right now it seems unlikely. Kid doesn't have the physical tools needed to become an elite QB and the worst part is he knows it. And it makes him hesitant to try anything even remotely risky.

We've seen them, they're just not as numerous.

I don't think we'll see him in the NFL, but he could be like Mauck or Randall or someone like that.

All this is false. I've seen plenty elite college QBs, and they didn't need a rocket launcher to be elite. He has tried risky throws, but I'd rather him not. I'd rather him take off for extra yardage if he feels he can't make that tight window. He has all the tools necessary to be a top QB in college, he just has to learn from his mistakes, practice hard everyday to get better, stay in the film room, and most importantly, soak up everything he can from Cam.

The guy is a true sophomore getting his first starts in the toughest division in the toughest conference of the college football world. It's going to take time and like I said, the light could easily come on against Ole Miss or Alabama. LSU fans are too dismissive of young players.

AJ threw two interceptions in five minutes against New Mexico fricking state and got pulled from the game. Horrible horrible comparison. While met struggled early on certainly he was never as bad as Jennings. Also, at least met showed some progress and improvement and as others have said flashes of brilliance throughout the year. AJ seems to be getting worse as the season progresses.
