Talk Of Mett's Growth

There are a lot of people talking about the lights coming on for Met last night, which he obviously played his heart out. However, I think the biggest contributing factor that nobody is talking about is that the receivers decide to start catching the ball for a change.
Met has had his issues, but dropped balls have been Mets biggest problem all season, leading to a host of issues with our offense.
The TD catch abs the 3rd down catch on the sidelines were both balls that were drops earlier in the season. Hell, even in the first half last night. You could see Met evolve in the game once he stared getting some help from his receivers.

I love the way he stands in the pocket and throws the ball. He's not always accurate but he doesn't shite himslef either.

I was most impressed with the way he stood in the face of pressure and threw the ball with confidence. We haven't seen that from him like we did last night.

And no interceptions.

Receivers did come up big. But Mett didn't have any of those "who was that for?" throws that he seems to have every game. It will be interesting to see if the passing game can keep up what they did last night.

Makes me wonder if it really was him being inaccurate or the recievers running the wrong routes.
It was great to see the receivers catch those passes. If that happens earlier in the season we are probably numbr 2 or 3 before the game last night. Here is to the continued improvement of our offense.

No one recalls that AJ wasn't really special last year until the championship. Luckily their schedule was easy. They still lost the only big game on ther schedule. Mett like all QBs needs time for things to click.
That isn't uncommon

Stood in the pocket? How bout his roll outs? I'm no expert but he really seemed to mature last night. 100X better then his previous starts. He ran and threw better than I expected and I was dogging his mechanics early on. Good job Met. The future looks bright for you.

I also think he was a lot closer to getting there than most people were giving him credit for before the game. He didn't make many if any bad decisions with the ball against aTm, he just wasn't very accurate. It was clear to me that it was starting to slow down for him a little bit two weeks ago, and he always had the physical tools. It was wonderful to see it come together for him last night, and I hope he keeps it up for the rest of his career.

We did have one really bad drop on the first drive

I think he was really prepared for this game and it slowed down for him. He looked calm, composed, and even quicker on his feet. He even checked off receivers and completed a few rolling out. He was throwing darts out there.

It's been my suspicion.

3 receivers sets, not throwing only on obvious passing downs when defense has 5 or 6 DBs against 2 receivers, drag routes out of play action. This had as much as anything to do with his "sudden" success. Coaches put the kid in a position to succeed. And yes, receivers stepped up. Also, Bama loves to play tight zones and man coverage which, coupled with above, helped as well.

a buddy who played college fb was talkin w/ his coach.
the coach said that mett had been playin' hurt for the first 6 games. he was makin' his analysis strictly from game tapes.
he said that it could be seen mett's growth just last nite.
i don't know shite, but wanted to ask if anyone else had seen this or can confirm the sightings?
