Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

We get to see him Sunday.

But this is one QB based on what I saw at LSU am surprised hes even in the NFL even as a backup.

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

Agreed.

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

He holds onto the ball like a statue

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

So you never watched LSU play? I ask because the way he played his last year was awesome. The only reason LSU went to any type of a bowl game was because he could sling the ball. It LSU had him this year they would beat half the pro teams. The kid has a cannon and I would love to see him learn behind Brees.

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

He had moments, but he was also throwing to Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham with one of the best running attacka and offensive lines in college football. Mettenberger was decent in college. If he was great, LSU would have won the championship easily.

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

He had some good moments last year. Everybody has some bad games. Even Rodgers was held under 80 the other night. Plus, the Titans are not good from top to bottom.

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

Watch out though. He can just throw it to the WR being covered by Browner and get a first down every play. Most likely due to a hold/PI, maybe a blown coverage here and there.

And we have a tendency to make less than stellar QB's look like pro-bowlers

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

I diagree. LSU had a ton of problems his Sr. year. When they lost in 2013 it was not because of him. He only had one bad game and that was against Bama where he only produced 17 points. The defense was not very goof that year. Seems like they gave up 30 points to everyone. He threw for 3100 yards, 22 tds and only 8 ints. Give LSU that this year and they walk away with the championship. He was a great college QB. Great pro? Nah, but he can be solid.

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

Thats good for us then.

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

Everything I have read showes Marcus starting.

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

^Yep and that's one we have to watch out for. He is a rookie and not only that, people are putting him down. Remember what he did to TB week 1. I hope our defense doesn't blow this especially with the last game but I'm more concerned about the offense. They know how to get turnovers and our history with this team's defense should tell you enough.

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

Dude, LSU's offense set all kinds of team records that year. It just so happened that for one of the few times, we had no defense at all. It doesn't matter how good your receivers are if you can't throw it. We had those same players with Jordan Jefferson and Jarret Lee, when we also still had Reuben Randle and we could not pass worth a crap. Why? Because our QB's sucked.

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

the cannon returns.

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

Yep and I think they will keep us guessing all the way until game time however you gotta somehow try to game plan for both.

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

A cannon for an arm doesn't mean a great NFL QB, I read an article that said former Ravens QB Kyle Boller could kneel at the 50 and throw the ball through the uprights.

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

No one said the guy was a great NFL qb. All I said was he was a great college qb and could be a solid backup. The guy posting said he has no clue how he is in the pros.

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

Is Mettenberger from La?

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

He's from Georgia.

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

Marcus is starting.

Rejoice, Titans fans! Marcus Mariota is back | FOX Sports

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

This^^^^

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

Moot point now.

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

We're going to beat this rookie badly this weekend. I know. I know. It goes against everything we all know to be true when it comes to rooks and crappy qbs.

But I'm tellin' all you people right now: We will beat him badly.

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

Mariotta's gotten progressively worse with each start, doesn't matter who starts for Tennessee, Saints' defense just has to show up. :)

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

And he will still torch our defense like a pro bowl QB.

Re: Baffling Mettenberger is even in the NFL
 

IDK, he'll probably have a better game then he did vs Miami, but that ain't saying much, averaging a couple hundred passing yards per game, #shrug. He's got a strained/sprained MCL, Mettenberger may get in that game just yet.

In other news, did anyone hear the announcers in the LSU/ALA matchup mention Mettenberger? I didn't catch the whole thing, but I think they were comparing him & Fournette on something.
