Everyone talks about Mett's lack of mobility - how do y'all know that he won't be at least a little more mobile now that his leg has been repaired? Its obvious he was having problems with it for some time, it just didn't snap completely until the Arky game.
LSU is an NFL defensive factory. How did the mobile qbs do against our d? They fricking sucked. Pocket passers are not going by the wayside. Anyone who thinks that is crazy.

As long as he doesn't get sucked into the black hole that is Oakland (or Detroit) he will be ok.

Mett throws the deep ball better than anyone?? I don't know what you were watching. He's had problems connecting with Beckham regularly
He said a deep out, not a vertical.

Complete lack of mobility only works for two QBs and Mett isn't Peyton or Brady.
even as immobile as those two are, they are way stronger and more mobile than Mett. Mett made hugh strides from his junior to his senior year. He throws some passes that you normally only see NFL QB's throw.
he has an NFL arm, maybe he has an nfl qb head on his shoulders maybe, but he doesn't have the athleticsm of even the least atheletic NFL qb's. He has some good points to him, size, arm, nfl quality throws, but his negatives seem a lot to overcome

What the hell is a deep out??
Posted on 2/25/14 at 7:11 pm to boxcar willie
He benefitted a lot from having Cameron this past season. It prepared him for the rigors of the NFL or what he's about to go through. I like what Cameron was doing with him early in the season til the offensive philophsy changed going towards the end of the season back to the traditional run and pound game Miles loves. But Bridgewater is still a much better QB at this point!

That's a in. The opposite would be an out. Not deep out!

Bridgewater will be a huge Bust. He has nothing that translates to NFL QB success

I guess the same could have been said about Russel Wilson. He seems to have been pretty succesfull. Seattle just won a superbowl with him I believe.

It's simple; do you run a pocket passing scheme? Do you have a coach like Cameron who can develop him further? Do you have 3 years to wait before he has to start, and will your current QB help to guide him? If so, Mett has a good chance to be a Pro Bowl QB in 4-5 yrs. If not, he's a career backup.
This is exactly what I'm saying. Mett is a guy who needs an incredible OL and a lot of work on his intangibles. He needs solid QB coaching before he can think about starting. Bridgewater is good enough right off the bat to do some damage.

Because the only thing I see that bridgewater has over Mett is mobility. But that doesn't make you a good qb. And I was just spouting off two young guys that to me were similar to bridgewater in college. Doesn't make them a better qb. Is all I'm saying. Mett had a diff oc every year of his college career. So that's why he has a better upside. He finally got good coaching and you could see the difference. He showed the ability to grow and improve. I really haven't seen that from Teddy.
First off, you just don't want to see that from Teddy as not only his skill increased yearly, but his production too. Every year he has increased his yards and TDs, while lowering his ints. He is getting better at decision making, ball placement, and accuracy. Also, Bridgewater's game is nothing like Wilson's or Kap's so I still don't get what you are implying. You only see mobility as the differece because of the P&G goggles chained and padlocked to your cranium.
With the different OC thing, you are using the Jason Campbell route, and we see how that turned out. Mett's soul talent right now is his right arm. He can make all the throws because of that, is still off on a lot of his passes. He throws into coverage too much, and rarely does he look for the safety valve, etc. You all are so giddy that he throws the ball on a rope that you forget everything else.

Why is it that LSU fans don't give his two wide receivers credit?

Geezus I give up on this guy...

Don't throw Jake Locker in that list of bust...in his 2nd year as a full time starter he turned on the "ignition" switch(299 yds vs Chargers/326 vs 49ers)...before being injured mid way in season.
Locker is/was the 2nd Fastest running QB in the NFL....is supposed #1 Go-to WR Kenny Britt is the BUST!

Speed and agility drills at the combine would have been a bust for Mett. 5.27 analysis puts him in the middle at best. His best chance is as a backup.
