Quote:From the outside looking in, I think Mettenberger looked pretty solid. He is a rookie with a pretty sad team around him, but he looked calm in the pocket and did a good job of going through his progressions. I think given time, he can be a very good QB in the NFL, IF, his confidence is catered too and opposing defences arn't allowed to feast on him early and often.

 

To add to that, I think he throws a pretty deep ball. His accuracy & ball placement were a lot better than I expected. I graded him poorly on accuracy & ball placement from what I saw at LSU... so whoever Whisenhunt has working with him has done an excellent job in a short amount of time... but it's only been one game. 

 

Looks like he's got the tools, the balls, & the arm. Went through his progressions well..... the only question I have now, is his toughness. Is he going to continue to be comfortable in the pocket or if he's the next Blaine Gabbert.
