Every game. That's my team. How was he the year before last? Garbage right? I saw plenty of that flash this past year too.

In all fairness, the majority looks garbage against Bama's defense.

Didn't Mettenberger pay on one leg last year?

He wasn't the problem and was easiest the best QB they have had in many many years.

I'm pretty sure it's plenty of LSU fans like myself on this board, you sure y'all aren't looking at Mettenberger through rose colored glasses? Yeah, he flashed potential here and there, but nothing I'd want to try and develop. There are way better prospects. How about the guy who actually beat him out at Georgia. Mettenberger is a slow decision maker, holds the ball way too long, and has accuracy issues in my opinion. Like someone said before, he's hot and cold. I see people destroy QB'S like Matt Ryan all day but you think Mettenberger is a good prospect? Nah son...

Jamarcus was better. What happened in the NFL seems to taint the memory of people, seeing how there was a reason he got picked #1 and we're talking about taking Zach in the 5th. He's Matt Flynn all over again.

LSU runs a pro style offense. If Les had his way, they would never throw the ball. What Rez said is absolutely correct. ZM was very streaky. Go read the write ups on him from scouts and you will read the same thing. He is a old school pocket passer. The problem with that is, you have to have good accuracy and thats one area he struggles with. When he is on, he is ON but to many games not on for my liking. IMO he should not be drafted any earlier than round 3.

In what regard does he compare to Matt Flynn?

They are nothing alike. Not even remotely similar.

4.58? Welcome to the 2nd round Jarvis.

I'd pull the trigger on him in the 2nd, and maybe trade up for him if he lasts until the 3rd.

In regards to the fact that he'll be a career back up and certain people will pretend he should be a starter, give him a nice check, and he'll disappoint.

Well, the odds are in your favor. Most quarterback prospects bust out anyways.

Always nice to see a fellow Tiger fan rooting for their own.
