ZMett's big arm vs AJ's athleticism

I think its a non subject. AJ's wheels are a big plus obviously. But even as strong as metts arm is, I don't think they are giving up anything with AJ. Sure mett has a stronger arm, but I don't think its a difference maker in what plays are called.

Disagree and I think we'll see the difference in Tampa unless Les calls it too close to the vest.

When Mett went back to pass, that was it, he either threw or got sacked. When AJ goes back to pass, it opens up options to where he can throw the pass play called or take off in needed.

The 'if needed' part is what I'm most worried about though, that he abandons the pass option too early.

I hope and pray for AJ to do very well but people vastly underestimate the talents of the Mettsiah. Next year will be a definite step back in the passing game.

Don't fret over this, AJ is a pass first kind of guy. He won't take off unless it's required.

We are going to be explosive. Very, very explosive.

The 17 yard out from the far hash will not be executed without an INT in this game. Mett could make that throw every time. I don't think AJ has the strength to do it, but his timing in throwing the pass can make up for that.

I agree.. With a mobile qb there are so many things you can do out the same formations. Every title game LSU has been in the qb was mobile.

At the same time, yes Mett has a bigger arm but iI don't see it being a big enough difference that the offense will have to be tweaked.

---

if Jennings can make all the throws that Zach could make, we are going to have a very, very special QB. There aren't many guys on college rosters that can make every NFL throw like Zach can.

Jennings arm will clearly determine what pass plays are called. And I would imagine that there are some throws that Zach made look easy that Jennings won't be able to make.

Mauck and Flynn were perfect examples of that type of qb. Neither were as mobile as AJ, but both were way more mobile than Mett. Both took us to NCs. Rohan, JR, and Mett did not.

here come the morons.

Flynn and Mauck had a lower completion %, less yards, and a lower passer rating than Russell, Mettenberger, and Davey. Let's look at how often they threw INTs:

Matt Mauck - every 29 passes (3.4 %)
Rohan Davey - every 32 passes (3.1%)
Matt Flynn - every 34 passes (3.0%)
JaMarcus Russell - every 38 passes (2.6%)
Zach Mettenberger - every 44 passes (2.3%)

huh? what's that? Mauck and Flynn were both more likely to throw INTs than Russell and Mettenberger, despite throwing far less passes (Russell had 797 attempts, Mett had 659 attempts, Mauck had 529 attempts, Flynn had 437 attempts).

JaMarcus Russell, Zach Mettenberger, and Rohan Davey were far superior to Matt Flynn and Matt Mauck.

You are an idiot.

he said neither took LSU to national titles...how is he the idiot? Russell had the below players to distribute the ball to:

Bowe, Doucet, Buster Davis, Skyler Green, LaFell at WR
Zinger & Jones at TE
Broussard, Vincent, Addai at RB
Whitworth, Niswanger, Helms, Livings, and Arnold blocking up front.

How he didn't win every game that year still blows my mind...especially to Tenn. and the throwaway Clausen...WTF.

I haven't seen enough to know if AJ can make that throw consistently. What I have seen tells me he has a strong arm. Is it freakishly strong like Mett? No, but Coach Cam said in August that AJ can make "all the throws just like Mett."
