Report: Mettenberger has a torn ACL-will not play in Bowl Game

Shit for Mett, good for LSU. AJ gets a chance to prepare and play with the two best WRs in the country.

 

Good or not I'd rather 8 lead the offense to victory against a quality opponent. He's earned that.

 

I agree. It was comforting watching Jennings, but Mett has earned the right to finish this 2013 season.

 

Question --- Mett will be graduating soon. I'm assuming that LSU will pay his medical expenses as this injury happened while he was a student athlete, but his rehabbing will probably still be going on well after his graduation. What's LSU's policy? Will he be allowed to re-hab at LSU? Where will he live? Who'll pay for it all?

 

LSU is on the hook both legally and morally, however they would assume these cost anyway. There have been reports that he will be ready to go by LSU'S pro day, I hope so.

 

For a pocket passing QB, he should be able to overcome an ACL. It would be more of an issue for a RB, or running QB, like it's been for RG3. Unfortunately, though, the timing of this may impact his draft stock. Just takes one team in need of a QB to want to take a chance. Even if he is lower than originally predicted, he can work his way up and get the $$ at some point. Tom Brady was a 6th rounder, and he's doing just fine. That's actually who Mett physically reminds me of the most, TB. Not saying he has the same headiness as TB, or will be as successful, no way to predict that, but physically (height, body habitus, throwing motion, etc) that's who he reminds me of.

 

Or a younger Peyton manning.

 

Didn't Cameron have Brady 1 season at Michigan?

 

Nope, Cam left after the 93 season. Brady was there from 96-99
