Mettenberger - A Player not a Savior

I have read a lot of threads today and some of them are touching on the subject of starting Mett over JL but those that suggest it are getting shot down with the phrase "don't break what isn't broken."
I am a fan of LSU and Les Miles, have been since day 1. I am also a JL fan when he plays at the level he knows he can. He is much better than he played in 2008 when he tossed 201 interceptions, however, he is not Mettenberger. He does not have the arm strength or accuracy of Mett.
So far, we have not played but two games and, the one time we played a good team (Oregon) JL looked good at times. Sure, some of the passes were dropped and we ran the ball a lot but is JL the guy that will get us through a brutal schedule that begins tomorrow night? Do we see him leading us all season to victory?
Why not Mett? He threw against a terrible opponent last weekend but he still had some great tosses and he even looked like a big time QB.
So my real question to everyone is this, at what point do we hand him the reigns? We could be as dominate on offense as Oklahoma with Mett.
what does everyone think?

Should I cancel my 'Mett for Jesus' t-shirt order?

My philosophy is simple, play Lee and if he gets it done, so be it. When he falters, bring in Mett.

No. The Mettsiah will answer all our prayers.

We can't hand him anything. That's up to Les.

Wow, no shite. Guess we should just shut down the Rant since talking about things is pointless.

Backup this season, starter next 2 (hopefully.)
There should be a fine for this

I think people should learn the difference in a blog and a thread and quit posting novels. Novels that say the same shite over and over again at that.

Why does a team that's been as successful over the last 10 years as LSU has been need a savior?

Talking about pointless things is pointless.

Wow, impressive.
People like you need diaries, not internet access.
EDT: What gets me, you actually think you have an unique view on this. That what you are saying, has never been discussed or mentioned. Somehow the in-depth knowledge you gain from watching FB on Saturdays propels you to think more rationally than everyone else.
Dude, tadelatt.. Stop™

I just hope he does not falter DURING a game!

Unique? No
My own view? Yes

cause every A-hole with a computer and profile on TD does not do the same thing?
