Dunno but I gotta say I lost respect for Mettenberger after he said he wanted to be traded due to Mariotta. A real QB would relish the opportunity to win the starting job, and at least perform well enough to gain attention from another team.

It took for you today to watch the tape.

Dog...you're datamining your way into speaking on a guy. that "tape" is piece mealed together.

Damn shame you trust numbers before your own football acumen.

This is an abuse of data. Data is supposed to buttress your own argument, not create it for you.

I understand what the stats are telling me. DVOA isnt a subjective stat- each player(QB in this case) is weighed equally. Mettenberger's numbers were so bad its more likely than not he wont be a good QB. He was a 6th round pick for a reason.

Who doesn't understand what stats say? But there's understanding that comes with your own pair of eyes and how you view sports as well...but here you are being lazy and using this site as the gospel for YOUR thoughts.

I really don't see what you've deconstructed about my point.

Stop it dog just cut it out. When a team drafts a QB #2 overall its his job. There is no fair competition fukk is wrong with you so called football fans.

Do you guys not know how the league works

:what:

It'll be his job eventually, but I don't think Mariotta is a shoe in this season.

What is it were missing about Mettenberger that you saw from "using your eyes?" Everything points to him being a bad QB.
