re: How good can Mettenberger be?

Mett has the size and arm to be elite. But he needs work in the areas of pocket awareness, quicker decision making and showing more accuracy on the intermediate to deep pass.

In his defense, he didn't have a healthy o-line, the receivers had the dropsies and (IMO)we telegraphed too many plays based on formation and personnel.

This season, the line looks strong, we have a couple more deep threats in Dural and Q Leslie and it appears we are going to incorporate the RB and TE more in the passing game (DeSean Smith will be another big addition), which should help give Mett more options, especially in checkdowns, and will give defenses more to have to account for.

My concern with Mett is how serious and dedicated is he. I read conflicting reports. Some suggest he is studying film and throwing with receivers; others saying he's doing just enough to get by. Not sure what is the truth. But I do know for any QB to be really good, he needs to have a great work ethic and be a student of the game, not just have a strong arm and good size.

Mett completely shitted on the Bama defense.

He tore their secondary apart. Made Milliner and Belue his bitches. The receivers also stepped it up big time. The sky's the limit if they play consistently like that this season

All sec isn't too much to hope for.

Im hopeful he can be a very solid player, but I think his potential is far from being reached. He's had soooooo many different OC's and quarterback coaches. If he gets into a team in the NFL and is able to have some stability and quality coaching. Then learn as a 2 or 3 he'll have a shot in a few years with his arm strenth and size.

i don't even remember how we lost

Trying not to lose is how. A hallmark of how this team has been coached on many occasions.

Would it be too much to ask for him to be consistently average? That's all we need.

We have all seen how high Mett's ceiling is. He made some great throws last year and has showed excellent poise in the pocket. If he improves as a leader and shows more consistency we will do well this year.

if he hits a few more of his deep balls this year and our guys get a bit more consistent catching the routine balls he will have a great year. we have guys that can break loose with the ball in their hands.
