This is a legitimate concern. Our anemic offense doesn't allow us to put opponents away until the final minutes, so our backup QBs don't get any meaningful playing time.

He wasn't overhyped, he is just under-coached
I agree with your first comment, but you can't blame coaches for being inaccurate. Mett simply has not been real good on a lot of throws. The thing that is most concerning is a lot of passes are way off.....not just a hair off.
Mett was pretty accurate in JUCO. Is he confused? Does he get nervous? Hard to put your finger on why he has consistently missed open throws. If Mett comes around and starts completing the open throws, this offense will take off.

The way we rushed to get him back on the field gave me a big "uh-oh"; as it looked like the coaches had no intention of letting anyone else play. Now, is that because Mett needs all the work he can get, or because the next best guy is clearly much worse?

Getting Mett more experience is needed, sure. But if you can't bear to let Rivers (or Bolden, or Randall) even run a few series against North Texas, toss the ball some, then things are a little scary in the depth chart.
Being afraid of losing Mettenberger mentally if he sits a series, if that's the reason (and I honestly don't know if it is or not), then that's bad too.

Meanwhile...I just heard LSU ran the SAME max protect / 2 WR pass play 18 TIMES against ATM.

Does anyone think that one good game will make it all come together?
There's a lot of pressure to perform out there. Everyone looks rattled and desperate- nobody's relaxed, just letting the game come to them. I wonder if 1 good series, one good half, in rhythm, and the passing game will just click. Just make the catch and accept you will be tackled (Beckham in particular). Trust the WR to be there (Mett), trust the ball to be there (Landry), and just execute. If you fail on a drive, the defense will hold, as it has, and come out relaxed and do it again.
Right now, it seems like everybody's nuts are so tight and clenched, like if we don't get this one play we'll never have a chance again.

I think some easy completions early could do wonders for Mett and the wrs confidence.

Fellow sunshine pumper here. I'm gonna give Mett a little more than four SEC games before I start making staff changes. (BTW 3 of 4 were on the road)

People keep screaming to see more diverse plays, but we're having trouble running the basic ones. I think once/if we can do that, we see some serious improvement overall.
Car analogy: LSU's offense could be a Ferrari, for all we know, but Mett (and the rest) can't drive a stick yet. Keep dropping the clutch when trying to move. Got to get into gear before you floor it. That's my hope, and I still have some hope that's actually the case. If so, sooner or later, things will come around, and in a surprisingly good way. IF we can get the rhythm going, we have plenty enough talent to score in the 30's against everyone.

True.
I would really like to see some play action fakes with misdirection to the te against the flow of the defense. It is almost always open and an easy completion. Also we rarely ever run it....would catch bama off guard.

Obviously we can see what experienced qb play can get you as we went 13-0 until the egg was laid. Guess you guys didnt watch manziel throw 3 ints and have 51% completion percentage. This is big boy defense in the sec. I didnt see brey do shite against bama and they are way more talented at the wr position. What ab murray against usc? Get the picture? 7 games into his career. Hes ok. Maybe he will be great and have a jamarcus like year next year. Flynn stunk in his garbage time minus the peach bowl until his 5th year in the program. Jamarcus didnt come aling until year 3. Hell it took lee 5 years to stop throwing ints.
pretty spot on. Our expectations were over the line, can we start threads on that too?
I liked some of the things I've seen recently. Far from perfect, great or even good but I've seen some positives

It's pretty amusing to watch some of the same who championed Mett as the should be starting guy last season now call for letting the 2nd guy play more or jump through hoops to find ways to blame everyone but Mett for 7 TDs, 4 ints, 3 fumbles, a passing O ranked at 109, and a passing eff. ranked #85.
What was the LSU passing eff. ranked going into last seasons Bama game with this same staff...#10.
What was it ranked going in the BCG...#18.
I think Mett will be fine with more playing time and I find it pretty understandable as to why we like to run the ball.

We run a simple pass route system.

LSU has top 10 talent yet can't get the players to complete forward passes.

The players are the reason they can't run routes?
Once again this all started b/c I said scheme and coaching was the problem.

You don't know jack about football. JJ has the tools. With good coaching he would be a good QB.

Go look at our recruiting classes for the last 5 years dumbass. Are you really that stupid? go tell me how high La. Tech, TT, WVU, Baylor etc have been ranked over the last 5 years.
ETA: for once will you please offer something of substance to a conversation that doesn't deal with white perch? You come in and make stupid post and offer nothing.

Why would I edit that? I contended last year it had more to do with offensive scheme than it did who was playing QB....Based on how Mett has performed to date my opinion is being verified.
Still don't know what yours is because obviously you don't have one....or are afraid to be called out for not knowing a fricking thing.
Interesting when a white perch topic comes up you offer all kinds of opinions....yet on this board you never do.

I really think Les believes that play action, misdirection, or anything that attempts to deceive the other team is gimmicky. Early in the game, Texas A&M had receivers wide open. They were creative in finding the path of least resistance.
