Pleaseeeeeeeee, stop with the Cam stuff. I haven't seen anyone/anywhere who thought Mett had the running ability of a CN.
There are always exceptions and cause you can cite 2 for 12 SEC teams, it doesn't follow that Mett will be/can be one. If he is, great. To have expectation of him being so is a tad over the top.imo

Mett is a running back?

You missed the point entirely. There were 3 new starting QBs at UGA/TN/AUB and all 3 of them did very well. Two of them were redshirt freshmen and the other a JUCO guy. Clearly it's not as "Crazy" as you think it is for a new guy to do well.

JJ will start and finish the season as the qb for LSU........

It has a whole lot more to do with how elite SEC football is/has been than anything to do with any newbe QB.
SEC QB's typically are not elite.

If Mett is able to step in, not miss a beat from Juco ball, and out play JJ/JL...great.
He doesn't have to come close to his JC play to play better than JJ did last season.

What are the expectations that have been set? Better than last years QB play? Dude, that isn't a very high expectation. I swear, some of you folks are seriously delusional. Did you not watch LSU's offense last season at all? The QB play was absolutely shitty.

How difficult is it to come in and do better than JJ/Lee did last year?
It also wouldn't be difficult to do worse.
New QB's can be a mixed bag. I think Mett has what it takes, though.
But then, I thought Jamie Howard had what it took, too. . .

I think it would be extremely difficult and is extremely doubtful Mett could do worse than JJ did in 2010. The most difficult thing for him is to wait for the receivers to get over the shock of actually having thrown the ball to them in stride.

Does it matter that we have Mett if he never plays? JJ will start every game this year barring injury and he knows this
This!!!!!!!! From JJ's quotes it is obvious for some reason he believes he has played well enough and is deserving to be the unquestioned starting qb and it was very obvious last year he felt he was not going to be taken out of the starting lineup no matter how poorly he played. If he has the same attitude this year and Les lets him start despite a repeat of last years horrible output it will be bad for the Tigers.

If you keep posting it would be worse

We probably will disagree on this, but it has little to do with the point. I don't think anyone expects Mett. to be all world, just better than we had last year. It's not setting the bar that high.

I certainly think this is the desire of the coaching staff going into the season.

I totally agree best case scenario Mett would be out of this world but that is highly unlikely and LSU really doesnt need great qb just consistent quality play. That would be a big improvement over last year and worst case I see no way he does as bad or worse than JJ. I could see Mett doing something like 60% comp, 16 TD's and 7 INT which would be a huge improvement but not sky high numbers,

And I certainly think based on his quotes JJ believes that he is entitled to start and will be the starter all season no matter how he plays.

2009 JJ 17 TDs/7INT
Like I said before, 2009 JJ passing + 2010 JJ rushing = LSU 2011 SEC Champs.

There aren't many spots left between where JJ ranked and the bottom, so it might be tougher than you think

The LSU staff have played Fr. and So. time after time. RS QBs have played and started. True Fr QBs have played and started.
The LSU staff has been as successful as any in our history. I have no problem allowing a successful staff who knows the players better than anyone else decide who starts/plays.
As to Crowton, I wish him well and thank him for his efforts, but he's not gone just cause the LSU QBs struggled at times in the past 3 seasons.imo

t's too bad that Jefferson could never put up those kind of numbers . . .
But if Mett puts up those numbers, it's cool.
Clearly there is something else at work here. . .

The 7 SEC 1st rd NFL QB draft picks since 03 and the 5 SEC QB's taken #1 overall since 98 might disagree with you.

That's good cause he will find SEC's D a tad tougher than anything he has faced in Juco ball.

Perhaps the delusional ones are those who feel that a totally unproven/untested Juco QB will walk in and unseat 2 Sr. QBs who have quarter backed LSU to 20 wins in two seasons and a Top 8 NR in 2010, Dude.
I guess we will to see who starts the season at QB to decide where the delusional thinking is housed.
