re: Have we ever had as "cocky" a starting qb as Mett before?

So we're starting in on Mett already, eh? Maybe LSU just hates QBs.

How is Mett cocky? I've never seen him do anything out of the ordinary.


Being confident =/= being cocky.

He loves him some dip

Damn, so does JR. Maybe Rivers needs to pick up the habit so he isn't the odd man out.

Jesus, have any of you girls watched LSU football before 2000? Tommy Hodson became extremely cocky after his very successful sophmore season and all of the Heisman talk started.

Actually it was after his freshman year when Arnsparger was coach. As a soph. under Archer, he became REALLY cocky. I don't think he would've pulled that shite with Arnsparger.

Everyone has a right to their own opinion, but the quotes below tell me he is cocky, if you disagree fine, but as you can see by posts all over this board I am not alone...I am not saying it is bad even if he is, was simply saying IMO he is more cocky than most if not all of our previous QB's and he has never even started a game. But unilke JJ haters etc. I will be supporting whoever plays all year

I was ready last year if Coach [Les] Miles had needed me and feel confident that I could have gone in there and won games.”

“I definitely look at it as it’s my team, and I’m not going to let one of these young kids take it away from me,” Mettenberger said matter-of-factly before LSU lost to Alabama 21-0 in the BCS National Championship Game.
I think I’ve done well this season,” said Mettenberger, the former Butler (Kan.) Community College and Georgia transfer. “I think the coaches know I’m the right man for the job.

I do feel like I'm a very confident person," Mettenberger said. "You have to be confident in yourself to play the game of football. You look at the Tyrann Mathieus all the way back to Deion Sanders, there's a fine line between cocky and confidence, and you've got to flirt with that line sometimes to be a good football player."

"I feel like I have a very good football mind," Mettenberger said. "I may not be able to do arithmetic or stuff like that, but I can go out there and digest the X's and O's of the offense and defense really easily."
I think I’ve done a good job of really stepping into a leadership role on this team.
"I'm 20 years old. I'm ready to take the reins of a team and lead them to a championship."

"I was kind of a big name coming in with the transfer and everything ... my situation in the past. I'm used to this. I'm looking forward to the season start and to get to play."
"I believe in my abilities as a quarterback, and I think the coaching staff does as well,"
"We have a lot of great players, and the next three years, I think we have three really good chances of winning the national title."

you dumbass.

booty was the cockiest. no one will surpass him

I guess definitions of cocky vary. He seems confident in his abilty and didn't say we will win the national championship or he was the best. He always seems to emphasize that we have a good team and basically want to prove himself on the field which he thinks we can.

Cocky in my opinion would be him saying stuff like:
I was the best qb last year and should have started.
QB position will be better with me.
National Championship here we come.
4000 yards passing is what I will do.
etc etc.

Most of those quotes of his had sentences surrounding them that take some of the edge off of what it sounds like without hearing the question he was asked or the other words he said surrounding those quotes.

I don't know, and don't propose to know. He might be the cockiest sob to ever walk the face of the earth but tones it down during interviews. To me he accepted his role as 3rd string last year, have not seen anything about that not being the case.

this thread is pure garbage. What do you want OP? you want a timid little bitch or a fricking leader? You have never played a down Im guessing. go back to world of warcraft. frick

well Ill just let you ponder that question yourself aristotle
