Lee doesn't pass the eyeball test now?

i said mett passes the eye ball test, lee does not.

You yourself said there is more to it than just stats. So answer these questions...

How many hours of practice have you seen, in comparison to the amount of hours the coaches have seen?

How much time have you spent with the 2 QBs in question, getting to know them, their mental make up, and their ability to lead the team?

How do you know that Mettenberger has a full grasp of the system and is immediately ready to read SEC defenses, having the trust of his coach and teammates?

He want to change the play and the center snapped the ball, please tell me how that's JL's fault at all.

its always the QB's fault. everything is. its part of the position. of course its not fair, but thats the reality

tldr


but no, he shouldn't. Lee is fine, looks like Mett has the ability to be something special if needed. This team has a chance to.....


Go with it and stop all this foolishness.

And can the idiot who keeps wanting to make the point that preseason rankings don't mean anything go back and revisit the 2004 season where the preseason rankings basically f'd Auburn out of a shot at the NC and then shut your piewhole. They matter.

let me go check last year's rankings real quick

Oh so it's not his fault but it is.

Really sound argument, gotcha. Anyway I'm done for real. Beating my head against a wall may produce a better result than trying to reason with you.

running back misses a blocking assignment and QB gets sacked = QB's fault

WR runs wrong route = QB's fault

Center snaps ball over QB's head = QB's fault


I think I'm starting to get it now.. Thanks

A QB with moxy would never let those things happen

I am glad though that the determining factor in your mind of who our starter should be isn't what they actually do on the field

from what i saw on the field tonight, i think mett has a much higher ceiling and should be the starting QB


what makes lee a better QB than mettenberger?

i dont know. but i would argue an 8/1 TD/INT has more substance than a night of 10 passes against an awful team, when the best 90 players on the field, on your team.

Now your just pointing to metts stats vs lees stats in different leagues so youre doing what youve been bitching at people for doing this thread.

And how does that 8/1 ratio in JUCO vs. Lees stats in the SEC?
