re: Anthony Jennings QB Comparison

Theres no doubt both quarterbacks will get better but do not compare Jennings to Mett. They are COMPLETELY different quarterbacks. Jennings will be just a game manager, but I don't see that it factor. A Jennings led offense will not do it against the top half of the SEC. Even with a great defense it will be a major struggle.

Really? Because I remember Mett looking as bad as Jennings has during his first few starts.

Jennings & Harris thur 6 games have already combined to throw as many touchdowns as Mettenberger did in 2013.
Mett had 22 last year. So, you are wrong and stupid.

its true about 2012 though, Mett's first year as a starter. which is the case for Jennings
Posted on 10/13/14 at 12:52 pm to TigerBlood17
For 2012
Zach Mettenberger 207 352 58.8 2609 7.4 7.2 12 7 128.3
12 and 7 are TD's and INT's

I think he meant 2012, when Mett threw 12 for the yr.

Which nearly all is that again? Through 7 games, Here is the comparison between 2012 Mett and 2014 AJ:
ZM: 101/169 59.8% 6 TD, 4 INT
AJ: 057/114 50.0% 6 TD, 3 INT
So he's been roughly 10% less accurate, with an equal number of TDs and one less INT with a lot less attempts. Why are you making things up?

Nobody was d*** riding Mett in 2012. He could barely throw a deep ball without over throwing it. If both qbs are bad next year then their just bad but this year I expect some of what I see. Not all though.

Yes, he just chunks it up there and watches to see who can get to it first...
If he is a Second Coming, it is of JJ not ZM...has no arm strength at all, very little pocket presence, and has the athletic ability of JJ...

I think Jennings has so much more character than Jefferson, who was all about himself. If Harris wasn't bere, I wouldn't mind Jennings being the guy. He's not great and I don't think he can win a NC as the starter, but he will get better. Harris just has so much upside and will end up being a leader if Miles allows. The problem is that if Jennings plays "good enough" it will be tough for Miles to start Harris.

more like second coming of Flynn.
quote:

he's got good arm strength, just not much touch and he doesn't read defenses quickly. those things can be improved with coaching and reps.

you remember wrong then. Mett looked good his first 4-5 starts. and that was with the WR drop issues. I think it was ESPN that did an article on how in the Washington game, if you took away his drops (including that inexplicable drop by Shep for a TD) and a couple throwaways, he had 1 bad throw.
it was the middle part of the season where his accuracy left him, and then came back for Bama.

Jennings' TD:INT ratio is better.
Jennings' YPA is better.
Jennings' passer rating is better.
Mett's COMP% is better.

Mett's arm is so much stronger than Jennings. Yes in 2012 he had some accuracy issues, and corrected them in 2013 for the most part. I like AJ and pull for him, but he has a limited skill set. BH has a high skill set, but is a risk reward deal. Obviously doesn't have a good grasp of the plays but needs to play more. He may shite the bed if he does.

Skewed by many less attempts. Also an irrelevant stat. TD/game is all that matters.

Barley. Had he not been pulled in the NMSU game, Mett would likely be ahead.

Made even more impressive by many more attempts.

Because of one INT.
You are out of your mind if you think AJ will be anything remotely similar to what ZM became for us. But I already know you are, since you have defended JJ.
