    I barely even see your posts....

    Furthermore, comparing him to his rookie class is pointless unless you are talking about value, and we aren't. We are talking about a franchise qb.

    Again, all I've said is this guy holds onto the ball too long and hasn't been in opportunities to show how he does in meaningful snaps. I've never once criticised his actual game.

    So what you need to do is take a deep breath and actually read what I've been saying.

    I mean you can't argue it.

    He has no real weapons or line. So you can't judge how he goes through his progressions. Our defense is none existent. He has played pretty well with games not on the line. Thats all you can say, in 4 games you can't really take anything away from his samples. I've said before, as of now, he deserves to go into next year as the guy.

    @TheSureThing how do you think Mett is doing and can he be the "QOTF"

    I heard you are the true NFL QB guru of goTitans.com

    You may not remember but you definitely have. Anyways, where he stands compared to his peers does matter because it's best comparison you can make. It's improper to compare him to anyone but another rookie because that other guy has the benefit of being in the league for at least a full year more than Mett giving him a favorable advantage as he's had more time to develop. This is also why you'll see rookies get credit if they're able to do things that a lot of vets don't do well.

    Rookies all come into the league with 0 NFL experience so seeing where they rank vs each other and the skills or deficiencies they display can't be explained by having more or less experience than their peers. Also don't just assume this entire QB class will suck just because they don't look great now. Rookies often look pretty bad before they get it together. I know Locker's QB draft class was an abomination but this is not the norm from what I've seen.

    So who would you compare hi to?? Manning, Newton, or Luck??? How can you compare a rookie in his 4th game to anyone other than rookies? You can say what you want, the fact is the more you hate on the guy with comments like, "People need to stop comparing Mett to this rookie class" the less credible you make your argument.

    I am not bought into Mett as this point, heck no one should be after what we have seen happen to guys in their 2nd years. However, I will give him the rest of the season before I nit pick his performance. He has played well enough to deserve that. What you call "garbage time" is still playing NFL football against defensive starters that want new/bigger contracts in the near future. As well as DCs that want to be HCs in the near future. None of these guys are saying ok, it's over; we will give the rookie a few now. If that were the case, Locker & CBJ would have fared much better.

    Would you rather he be Locker & put up low numbers when we are getting blown out?? I do not get the point here. Mett does not play on defense. He does not call the plays. He is putting up points & TDs. He is making ROOKIE mistakes, as we should expect. However, he has only played 4 games. In those games he has had no help from a struggling run game, and rarely ANY blocking from a sorry Oline.

    You claim you watch the games & understand what is happening & the ones not hating on Mett do not. How can you make that claim when you want to compare a rookie starting his 4th game to guys who have played many more?? How can you say that when you say he put up big numbers against an Eagles' defense that was in "Garbage Time" when in reality they NEVER let up that entire game?? How can you blame Mett for being in blow outs when our Defense is not stopping the run from the 1st snap of the game?? That has nothing to do with being on the field too long.

    I DO NOT think Mett is Brady, Luck, or even Newton at this point. I do think he deserves adequate time to show what he can or can't do.
