re: Honey Badger Quote on Mett

It's not that hard to assume that Mett would have been better than 25 yards total in the SECCG. After seeing JJ's performance against UGA's 3-4, everyone saw his abysmal 1/9 performance coming. Well everyone except Miles and Team Sweep. The writing was on the wall.
It's over now and nothing will change the results. Let's hope we get 2 years from Mett before he bolts for the NFL. Let's enjoy the ride, because it's going to be a great one.

But since they played well during the year, the coaches weren't going to change that in the last 2 games.
As I recall, Mett hadn't throw a pass in a live game since NWS.
Anyone thinking he was "the answer" in post season playing must be on drugs.

If LSU gets by Bama and Arkansas and whomever the SEC east puts up in the ATL, LSU will play for the BCS national championship again and if LSU beats (Oregon/USCw/whatever) to go 14-0
Mett will ride off into the sunset.

On Zach Mettenberger as starting quarterback ... "I think we're going to win a championship with him. That's just my opinion, but he's throwing the ball and he has his receivers in a stream of confidence right now. I think those guys are definitely going to do something special this year. Its great to see the entire team buying in.
this shines hope... but "Its great to see the entire team buying in. " also tells me that there may be some truth to the discontent and divide for the NC game.

Don't give me the crap he wasn't ready. he had some time of college and juco. Our defense and running game was so good he could have dominated last year,
really, I saw him complete 8 of 10 in a game during the season, but let's say I agree...
had he come in, Nick would have had to respect THE PASS AND BACK UP THE PRESSURE...then, who knows.
What damage would it have done ? We could not have scored less than zero

100 yds passing would be better, but that's still not good.

Yeah, I'm sure the coaches making millions are much less observant that fans
A friend of mine that works in the media over here told me a story about a college team he was covering one time. First year coaches rebuilding a team and they had Fr QB they wanted to RS, for one game he was sick so he didn't even dress. Well the Sr starter got hurt and the 3rd string guy, who the next year they converted to WR, comes in. They were down by 14 in the 3rd, but kept running. This of course outraged the fans who ripped the coach on radio all week. off the record one of the assistants told my friend, they kept running because the other kid didn't know the playbook, they called one play and he asked them if it was a pass or run. They knew at that point they were screwed, but weren't going to throw a kid under the bus, so they kept runnning, and made lame excuses and coach speak after wards and then took the RS off the other kid.
After the SECCG, Miles and co may have known they would have trouble with Bama, but it was too late to start Mett at that point.

Yeah, just think with him we might have gone 13-0, won the SEC and made it to the BCS CG.

Yes, when ever Alabama or any Nick Saban defense for that matter, played against a team that had a dynamic passing attack they were clueless how to stop it. Just look at how Mallet and Wilson tore them up.

Just think Mett could have played in the last half of the national champ. game if Les wasn't so hard headed! & don't give me that shite about him not being ready.

you are right... he was not the answer, at least not the #2 answer, Lee was.
But I would have used the #3 answer (Mett), this was the NC game, not a game during the season...it was ALL OR NONE.
At some point, we knew answer #1 was wrong.,

I think Miles thought that running the option was the best way to beat Bama. In addition, with the game within 2 scores for 3 quarters he probably didn't want to put any extra risk into the offense and allow Bama to get a quick, cheap score off of a turnover. One big play and you're right back in it, of course that never happened and he didn't have a plan B. It was a poorly coached game, but IMO wasn't because of ill-founded bias for certain players.

could not agree more. People forget that it was 9-0 at the half, 12-0 until there was 16 minutes left in the game. I they put in Lee or Mett and he throws a pick, the same people would be screaming bloody murder.
The back up QB is always the most popular guy on the team, especially when the starter isn't any good.

Bottom line: If our Quarterback play is 10% better than last year, we should win it all. I have no problem saying that he will for sure be 10% better than what we had last season. The scary(scary being awesome)thing is that he has all the looks and intangibles of a star.If hes a star, they will be an unstoppable force that he have never seen has a fan base. And that is something to get excited about.

Come on, the players aren't stupid. They know just as well as the fans that we didn't have good quarterbacks last year. Just because they acknowledge that things are different this year doesn't mean they had a fight about it before the NC.
Plus, IIRC, the rumors said that TM7 was on the coach's and JJ's side

This kinda sums up why I think our offense had been so bland over the last 4 years. It isn't because of poor coaching, it's because of the coaches trying to protect our quarterbacks. Hopefully they'll trust Mett with the full playbook and things will look like they did back when Russell and Flynn were here.

Mett hadn't throw a pass in a game since NWS and you want him to be thrown in vs. one of the best D the college game had to try his luck?
I just don't see that as a sound play or helpful to Mett's future, but each to our own.
I would have tried Lee in the 4th, but to be honest...with the way Bama was handling our O line/rushing game on that night, I don't think we had an answer.

Rationale that would have been sensible if our offense had shown even a glimmer of being able to do anything. But the halftime stats pretty much tell the whole story. Without something very different (execution or personnel)in the offensive approach 12-0 might as well have been 28-0. It wasn't like Arky or Georgia, where our defense could hold it down, and even create a strong scoring chance, until our offense wore them down. Wasn't going to happen.

My unborn granddaughter could see that JJ wasn't the answer in the NCG. Does anyone really believe that Miles didn't know that as well by halftime?
Miles had a reason not to put in Lee and he had a reason not to put in Mett. Was it the right decision. When it comes to JUST winning that game no. But the reasons both were held out were not because he didn't think they would up our chances of winning the game.
