There talking about these guys in the first round...

Look, I hope these teams burn a 1R pick on a short QB...

I just don't want MY team burning a first rounder on a QB unless he's a proto-type passer, 6-3 or better, cannon for an arm and one of Dan Marino's Love Ilk...

And, if'n he's under that, he better smoke jokes that can't run a 4.4 with 'em if he's gonna take our first round pick in a draft...

Mettenberger?

Kerwin on NFLSirius interviewed him yesterday, good kid and prototypical pocket passer with an arm.

Man, this is when you wish you could sit in on the interviews...

I've got questions about his moxie, big questions...

He was articulate, when asked which NFL QB he most resembles... He played the cards well.

Names no one.. Went on to sell him self as a picket passer that can take a hit with out fear. Admitted he isn't a "mobile QB by today's standards (Wilson/Kaepernick), but is athletic and mobile like a Brees/Manning/Brady, he even elaborated and said he is not going to break out a 40 yard run like Manziel but he will move 12" to make a defensive player miss".

6'5", great touch, long arm, moves up in the pocket when he "feels" pressure so he has great pocket awareness.

Zach Mettenberger \|\| 2013 Highlights

I am not an LSU homer, if i watched any college games last year it was watching the Manziel circus act.

Zach Mettenberger || 2013 Highlights

He's your traditional QB prospect. IMO, he still has a lot of work to do on his touch, but he has a bazooka arm and everything else you mentioned. Plus, he's been coached by Cam Cameron and very familiar with a pro style offense. His improvement under one year of tutelage from Cam was significant... and impressive. If he wasn't hurt, I honestly feel that he's one of the most pro ready and top quarterbacks in this draft.

Some may laugh but I actually think Zach will be a capable backup & possible starter at the NFL level. Yes I'm a LSU grad and homer but he has excellent 'zip and accuracy' on a lot of his throws. One of my few knocks on him the past two seasons has been his decision making in the pocket when it collapses & that he likes to stare down guys (Odell and Landry) too much for my taste.... all correctable with proper coaching.

Keep a lazy eye on this kid down the road.
