He had the size and arm. Played well at LSU. Was coached by Cam Cameron. What happened?

Who gets picked up by a team first: Kaepernick or Mett?

Incredibly nonathletic...and makes Jay Cutler looks like he gives a frick.

I loved Mett, but the guy had limitations when it comes to mobility and his attitude seems to indicate he didn't really care enough to try and stick it out.

That's literally bullshite. He still has NFL level talent at the receiver positions.

You know you are on the brink of unemployment when Whitehurst is in the game and you have no inclination of even needing to A) Find a Helmet or B) Warm up the arm.

His father killed himself and he was having a hard time coping I believe.

He was great for us but he was terrible in the pocket under pressure.

He has the mobility of one of the oaks in the quad.

There’s a lot more to playing QB than just having size and a strong arm, especially in the NFL. And that’s all Mett has.

He’s about the most immobile QB I have seen in quite some time . I mean Peyton Manning , tom Brady aren’t exactly micheal Vick but they know how to sidestep pressure , step up , and have eyes in the back of there heads . Mettenburger was a statue without those instincts and intangibles. He had NFL arm talent but that was it . He also seemed very very immature.

The hell you say. I've seen those Oaks move in the wind.

A hurricane couldn't move Mett.
