Would you pull the trigger on Mettenburger?

IF we must, I don't think Zach is the answer as Drews replacement. I think we still have another year or two after this with Drew at the helm and would like to see how this read option QB experiment works out. It may be a flash in the pan but if it is indeed the future for QBs I would rather try and go that direction.

I really do like Johnny Football though, he needs to mature a bit, but his antics may just hurt his draft status enough for him to fall close to our pick. Payton will straighten him out if need be.

I have a feeling that Johnny Football is the second coming of Cam Newton. Tons of talent and 10 tons of ego. Not enough space in the locker room for his head and the rest of the team. Those types can win games but they rarely win championships.

Payton has shown zero interest in players that need to be straightened out. I tend to think that is one of the reasons that Ivory is no longer a Saint.
