Angry? Not me. I'm laughing all the time. You have to admit that some of the stuff is rare comedy. This site is fun. No where else on this planet can one and be so amused. The illogic, ignorance, immaturity and downright stupidity is priceless.
And If I find holes in their "logic" or "information" or question their veracity, only adds to the farce.

Yes.

Every single one.

And I say passable QB play at times, mediocre play at others.

People will expect too much.

I'm hoping that he is a QB who can stand in the pocket...step up into it when needed, and deliver a ball downfield on target.

I do not expect him to be throwing the ball 35 times a game and rolling up 300+ frequently.

I'm hoping for a balanced attack.

I remember Miles and the ESPN announcers during and after the spring game said how much better Jefferson looked, and that he clearly appeared to be ahead of Lee and Mett in regards to winning the starting QB spot.

All I could say was "what the hell are these guys watching?" Statisically, qualitatively, whatever adverbs you want to use, Mett looked better than Jefferson. So yeah, I'm gonna say Mett will be better.

First, we averaged a truckload of points offensively so somebody was managing the team pretty well. Secondly, even if you consider the qb play only passable, it could definitely be worse than that.

Thanks to our defense putting us in great spots. And our ST's.

Our offense was nothing really special this year, outside of our running game, which had it's moments.

I'm tired of hoping for QB play to not lose the game, like we've had with JJ/JL. Hoping for a game manager.

I want to get excited about the QB position.

Haven't felt that way since Jamarcus.

So your mindset going into next season is waiting for mett to light it up so you can cry about something else and post an "I told you so"? Sounds pretty sad.

Are you an lsu fan?

I can't wait for mett to tear it up next year and cheer.

Running game is offense. And I think it did more than "had its moments". We trucked people in the second half. We literally made some teams give up. Offensively. I do agree I'm ready to be extremely confident in the qb position again. I'm ready to see some consistent vertical passing as a part of our offense but I think Bana and us both have shown a solid rushing attack and a stellar d will win championships. Or we could just find the next Cam Newton. Ha.

Thanks mainly to ST and defense. I would say that Brad Wing was as important to our "making them quit", as JJ/JL

No. Offensively in the 4th quarter we made some teams quit. Heard one story about the Auburn game where they had a db literally falling down before our fullback got to him. Our back literally told the guy to get up and hit him. I enjoy our toughness on both sides of the ball.

Anybody would've been better than jordan miles.Mett not being used this year is inexcusable.

We don't need "much better". Just a consistent QB with solid fundamentals... But yes, from what I've seen he is much better.

I'm sorry. A 13-0 regular season and SEC championship just nullifies anything being termed "inexcusable". We fulfilled the vast majority of our pre-season goals. Perspective man.

Perhaps you should try using deodorant.

Got lucky on that didn't you? They can't smell you on the interwebs.
