Zach Mettenberger marvels with maturity

I like him but not going to happen. No more picks on QB's and RB's.

No offense to anyone here, but I seriously doubt we're having this conversation if he hadn't played for LSU.

Amen... You homers are crazy.

Probably not... but he did. It's no different from any other prospect that comes out of LSU every year. Nothing wrong with supporting the local talent. I don't think that makes some of us homers, it makes us fans.

homer - A sports fan who picks his/her team to win, despite objective evidence to the contrary.

I always try to keep my objectivity.

Hey, I'm the biggest home of 'em all. I just don't think he's that good. What I mean is had he played for USC last year, assuming it was identical to his last year with LSU, nobody here would be of the mind that we should draft him, late round or otherwise.

There isn't 1 piece of anything purple in my home... No tigers either.

Not even accidentally.

And since I started it in this thread ....
Lots of incorrect assumption.

I don't think he's that good either... but I see the potential there for him to possibly become a pretty good starter down the road. I don't want him here but I really hope he succeeds wherever he ends up.

The question, with Mettenberger or any QB, is...

Is he an improvement over Griffin and if so, is the improvement enough to justify the loss of the draft pick it would take to get him.

It certainly isn't worth burning a 1st rounder on a guy who will probably leave for another team after a couple seasons.

It might be worth a 6th or 7th though.

Personally I wouldn't burn a pick on a QB at all. Invite a 3 or 4 year project QB into camp to compete with Griffin.

IMO: Ryan Griffin is that 3 to 4 year project.
