Did you even watch the LSU games last year? Their offense was wide open. The defense is what hurt them.

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.

I have season tickets. I have watched every home game the past ten years up close. 2 years ago Mett had a OC that was trash. Last year we got a OC from the NFL which helped Mett big time. Why? Because he is a typical NFL QB. Is he ready to start now...no. Give him 3 years behind Brees and watch what happens.

Agreed on Mettenberger. I watched a number of LSU games last year and I recall him being warm or ice cold. Never hot. I'm not the judge of "football talent" that some here are, but Mettenberger, in my opinion, is a career backup at best.

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.

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.

In what regard does he compare to Matt Flynn?

They are nothing alike. Not even remotely similar.

I'd be ecstatic if we landed Odell Beckham, he's a huge game changer

I think in a draft like this though, the are so many WR's this year

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

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...
