He's 3rd because jj and lee are seniors lee and jj were terrible
Mett was going to start for Ga before getting kicked off the team.

Led his juco team to NC game

I wish people would stop bringing up the spring game. Zach throw a touchdown to our number 3 receiver versus a walk-on. WITH NO SAFETY OVER THE TOP. T.C. McCarty could of made that throw.

1) Terrible QBs don't win 11 games in modern day college football.

2) Who the frick started the myth that Mett was going to start @ UGA? He and Murray were battling.

He made more than one throw.And he actually was poised and didn't look lost on the field.

Yeah, that must be why he continues to run 3rd string.



Body of work. Can't wait to have a legit passing game again in 2012. I hate that Randle had to wait until his senior year to have a suitable passer.

Iam still scared stiff of JJ starting for us. He's already proven himself worthless and each year I give him the benefit of the dount only to ask myself WTF is wrong with this staff to continue to let him play?
PLAY METT

Lsudm we won because our D and running game
Stats don't lie!

The sad thing is that Mett as 3rd will not learn the offense he gets no reps! He will not be ready when jj and jl fail again.

If JJ is that much better than ZM


When you run 3rd string as opposed to 1st string, one has to think that at this time those who know these guys best, the LSU staff, feel that JJ is that much better of an option for LSU.

Nothing against Mett, but we seem to be placing a lot of hope/interest on a guy who to this point in time can't even climb over JL to earn more practice time.

That doesn't mean he can't, look at 08 and JJ, but probably means if he does it's not gonna be a good sign for the LSU season.

What do you consider legit? JJ's "Best games evaaaaa" were 150 yards. Legit is 200 every game imo. That would put LSU around 50th in the country. That's not asking for a miracle...

Obviously, our coaches think he grades much better than the other QBs

3,000 yards passing with another 2,500 yards rushing

Easy pickings - 500 yds game and with freshmen WRs leading the charge

If that's the case, then how many legit passing attack years has LSU had since 2000?

So basically you are saying about 250 ypg (about 4th in the SEC). I do not think we will hit that mark.

But, I would have defined "legit" a little differently.

I'll change it to 200 a game, 2600 on the year. That would've put LSU 73rd in the nation last year. SEVENTY THIRD...is that too much to ask?
