Where do we stand with JC QB Mettenberger?

I don't disagree. What I'm saying is that if two players are close in talent/ability, Miles will play the upperclassman.

I think in Montgomery, Peterson, Mathieu, etc. we see underclassmen who are just flat out better than the upperclassmen - so they get to start.

I agree - it's in Mettenberger's hands. If he shines brighter, he'll start.

 

I hope he has a great visit and gives us a verbal. So he grabbed some titties and ass at 18 while liquored up. Mistakes happen and lets give the guy a chance to redeem himself. I say sign him up and welcome to DEATH VALLEY!! This is coming from a father of 3 girls..:tigereye:

 

So, Mettenberger didn't commit last night?

I know we let a Rebel Black Bear team with a poor record stay in the game when we shouldn't have, but surely someone explained that rivalry to him.

Death Valley was rockin for 4 qtrs, tho. It was a good game for him to see, methinks. Hopefully, we'll be hearing the good news today or tomorrow.

Here's an early and anticipatory "Welcome to LSU, Mr. Mettenberger!!!!"

 

According to an LSU trainer who posts in the recruiting board at TD.com, Mett has always intended to make his final choice in December.

I admit I was hoping he'd fall in love while he was here and make the call, but I'll take him whenever we can get him.

I'll second that. This is where you need to be. Your drop back style will do well, don't worry! And, nobody will be able to take away the experiences of QBing in Tiger Stadium from you once you get here. And your talents will be showcased well for the NFL, if that is your ultimate goal.

 

Most Head Coaches starts the upperclassman if they are equal, because the upperclassman is in the system longer and will make less mistakes. But it can't hurt for an JC underclassman QB to push the two Sr. QBs. for the starting QB position.

Yeah, if Mett is as good as advertised, and has some smarts.........especially since he'll be coming in early, I think he'll be able to learn the playbook and press for playing time.

He really can't complain, tho, because coming to LSU he's pretty much guaranteed to be the starting QB for 2-3 years on a premier SEC team.

Thats a great opportunity to not only showcase your talent, but also win divisional, conference, and Natl Championships..........not to mention be a Tiger and play in Tiger Stadium.

I just pray he is a leader like Mauck and Flynn. Neither of those guys were out of this world talents, but they were great leaders, game managers, and clutch players. Thats what we need.
