Not talking about extracurricular activities and rap sheets, but as a QB.

They are both large, large men with strong arms. Is Big Ben the best comparison for Mett in terms of physical specs and abilities?



(No, I'm not asking if he is going to be as good. Just comparing physical tools)

Both give it 110%...even if the other person says stop.




Ok, that was over the line.

If I remember correctly, when Ben played in Tiger Stadium he was big, but not as big as he is now. As of now it takes Terrell Suggs 5 seconds to bring him down. Brick shite House.

Yeah Trent Dilfer described Ben as being "country strong" on that play where Suggs tried to sack him.

On the field, Ben is tough as it gets. Did you see his nose? It looked like the letter Z. He is also hard as hell to sack.

Imagine a 120 lb. girl trying to push him away


I just hope Mett is built like a sturdy house like Big Ben is. I love when QB's are hard to bring down and cap adlib after stepping out of the pocket. It creates so many plays.

In the sense they are both white QBs with "BERGER" in their last name, yes.

As far as QB style goes, absolutely not.

Why not?

This is the discussion I wanted to start. Both have huge frames with big time arms. Ben's biggest strength is his ability to keep a play alive and make things happen after the pocket collapses. Can Mett do this? I haven't seen much film of him so I was inquiring.

The comparison for Mett that I've most heard is with Flacco.

Nah man. Mett is slow as molasses and Big Ben can get it done every now and then on his feet.

Think of Mallett when you think of Mett

Same here. If he turns out as good as either of those two I'd be thrilled.
