Zach Mettenberger
 
Just released by the Titans. I would love to see him in B&G. Any thoughts? Can't be any worse than what we have now. Learn behind Drew for 3 yrs could be huge for this kid.

Yeah at least as good as what we have with a higher ceiling

Sigh. Was just reading how Drew was tearing up the league last year -big time- and still our D let our opponents gain even more yards than Drew did. If a guy's not on the tackling side of things, let's not waste our efforts.

Nobody is saying throw Drew out the door. Bring him in and see if he has the long term potential. Hell if he shines under Paytons offense you can trade him for a pick or loose him in FA for a comp pick

Our current list of QB's as of 5/16/16 ...

Drew Brees, 7 - Luke McCown, 18 - Garrett Grayson, 4 - Griffin Neal

Who do they cut? Neal? Grayson? I can't see Zach landing in New Orleans. Plus Sean HATES LSU players (sarcasm) :mad:.

There might only be 2 qb's in the league today (Brady, Brees) that could of been consistant on the Titans over the past 2 years. Even if he is no better than Luke, he is much younger and cheaper. Plus, with the right leadership I believe he could thrive.

I would cut Luke. The guy is 92 years old and carries a higher price tag than Neal, Grayson and Mett would combined. If Drew goes down McCown gives us 6 wins at the most. All that does is push us out of the top 10 in the draft.

I would bring him to camp right away. The only LSU QB I have really liked for the last 10 years.

I was surprised the Titans cut him. I mean who is their backup to Mariota? Something seems fishy.

Two seasons, 10 starts, zero (0) wins.

Bottom line business boss.

He'd probably stand a good chance with Payton as his QB.

McGowin is light years beyond Mettenburger and they arent going to give up on Grayson after one year. I think they are happy with what they have. Im sure if hes really that much of an improvement they will consider it. I just dont see Mettenburger as much more than a journeyman. He is definitely not the guy to take Drews place. He wasnt even all that good considering who he had to throw to. He had a lot of help. Just because he did better than a lot of crappy QBs who have been through LSU doesnt mean hes going to be any good in the pros.

I'm not talking Tennessee. I'm talking LSU. That's the team I follow in college. Couldn't stand Zach. One of the many QB's from LSU I'm not high on. He's Matt Flynn 2.0. He should have put up stellar numbers with OBJ and Landry.

We enough QB's on the roster.

Let it go homers, he's not very good.

3100 yards and 22 tds is huge numbers on a team that ran the ball 65% of the the time in 2013. If he had the 2011 defense we would of considered that LSU team one of the best ever.

He looked like he had pro-potential to me when I saw him.

I wonder what he's struggling with?

My guess would be the lack of talent on the Tenn offense. They were trash. When you #1 option was Bishop Shankey you don't have much of a chance.

These people would be 100% content with a 2-14 season as long as 75% of the roster was LSU players.

LSU hasn't been relative in college football for several years now anyway. Nobody is scared of them anymore except maybe Vanderbilt.

You just proved that you are worthless bama fan or you have not watched college football since the early 90's. Only 2 teams since 2000 have won more games than LSU

Re: Zach Mettenberger
 
I am appalled at everyone's posts on Zach. This dude is good. He is tough to a fault. He will stand in take a hit and deliver a strike. He's a little more athletic than you think and he's got an accurate very strong arm to go with great size. Need proof. He actually made Les Miles offense look good plus he's got the confidence and fight to be great. NFL comparison-Tom Brady........right? He would definetely be the strongest arm on the Saints roster and throws a great deep ball. One of the better arm talents in the NFL. I bet top 5 or 10 at worst. Titans wanna start Mariota and Zach aint cool with backup. That's why he left.

Sorry but if he was QB on a Les Miles team he's got no shot ... Period ... The guy was cut for a reason not even backup material. Not a Bama Fan either, LA TECH Bulldog, but flame away if you must ... Take off them Purple and Gold glasses.

Re: Zach Mettenberger
 
Neal is gone already
no, there is no future with LM, but he only counts 1.2 against the cap
If GG beats him out for #2, so be it, but I don't think Zach M is the answer short or long term

saintshrimp 05-16-2016 07:46 PM

Re: Zach Mettenberger
 
nope he played at LSU.We don't have those kind of players on our team.

I think he'd make a great poster here on B&G too!

ZM is better than McCown. And can be a a backup for longer.

I'm not taking into account his "douche factor", which I'm sure is an 8.5 out of 10

Re: Zach Mettenberger
 
Zach has nice potential but I do not honestly see him being able to beat Luke for the 2 spot. To me that would be the only competition. Appears Grayson has the 3 spot locked.

Mr.Riaton 05-17-2016 06:15 AM

Re: Zach Mettenberger
 
I think we still have Matt Flynn on the roster also.

go for the youth. kids got talent. as long as he is not a cancer

Cruize 05-17-2016 07:01 AM

I would sign him. As for his choice, he should go to Denver.
