    Where did Rusty play ball? Oh yeah that's right, Florida Atlantic. Mett played at LSU. Big difference there.

    Whitehurst has a 97 passing rating thanks in large part to that 75 yard TD to hunter. There is no reason to bench him.

    Playing Mettenberger now just gives you Whiz lovers an excuse for us going 3-13. He had a rookie QB what do you expect! Whiz is a genius!

    Bottom line is Whitehurst is Whiz's guy. He hand picked him over fitzy who was already under contract here. Let's see what he can do over an extensive period of time.

    Even if Mettenberger is the real deal it might not materialize fully until 2016. In the meantime we have to have a guy and let's hope Jesus is that guy.

    Of course we haver the let's lose and get a high pick crowd. The kind who give their tickets to visiting fans. JC is not one of those guys is he?

    It's not about tanking for a better draft pick. And it's not about "loving" Mettenberger or thinking he is the next Joe Montana. It's about MOVING ON.

    For once in this franchise's pathetic existence I would like to see us be just a little ahead of the curve and be willing to call a spade a spade.

    Jake Locker is NOT the answer. You can even make a case that he's not even the best QB on the roster at this point.

    Charlie Whitehurst is NOT the answer. He's a 32 year old career backup.

    Is Zach Mettenberger the answer? The odds may be against it but he has a better chance at it than any other QB currently on this roster. Why delay the inevitable? This team is not, I repeat NOT, making the playoffs no matter who is playing QB. The hole is too deep and we don't have nearly the talent to dig ourselves out of it. "Playing for the future" is the smart move for the long-term success of this team.

    4-12.... 7-9..... does it really matter?

    IDK why we'd have to tank with Mett, his style fits perfect with the garbage Whiz is calling on game day.

    If he sucks 2-3 games put Jake back in, no biggie.

    Exactly. If the late rounds were completely useless then we wouldn't bother having them.

    I'm getting sick of people completely dismissing Mett just because he was a late round pick. Are the odds against him? YES. I don't think anyone is denying that. But to completely write him off or to think there's no way he could possibly be better than Locker or CBJ is pretty moronic IMO. Those guys haven't exactly set the bar very high.

    I don't think anyone on this entire forum qualifies as a "Whiz lover" right now. And I certainly haven't seen anyone even remotely suggesting he's a genius.

    Once you go to Mett there's no going back. I think you just gotta ride him for better or worse.
