Why do some of you hate Mettenberger so much?

Is it because so & so loves him so much? I mean, you've got people being retardulous over in the Jay Slutler thread, actually entertaining the idea that it would be a good thing. But it's not like there isn't a nuclear-powered neon warning sign that hovers above that festering, diabeetus-infested fucker everywhere he goes. So I truly don't understand it.

Is it because he's brimming with equal parts confidence and cockiness and you just can't handle somebody being that sure/full of themselves?

Is it because Mettenberger eats boogers?

Is it that you are heartbroken that your anti-VY savior has now become the very thing you swore he'd destroy?

Is it really the whole 6th round thing?

Is Mariscrotum hypnotizing you with his swinging ball sack?

Or is it just because your head is stuck so far up your ass you can see out of your eyesockets twice?

Help me understand, Doofey Wan-Kenobi. I need your stash of dope.

This sums it up perfectly. There is no hate for Mett. The amount of threads about Mett being the QBOF, Brady like, given the same opportunity as Locker....ect, ect, ect is just ridiculous. I get the h

Lol this thread is ridiculous. Mettenberger may honestly be the least hated player on this team. I think everyone recognizes that he can play the position and actually throw the ball which is somethin

Who hates him besides Righteous? 

 

Honestly I think anyone who even entertains the idea that we should have another option coming into next camp and/or automatically doesn't anoint Mett the QB  is labeled a "hater".

 

We need to sign a vet and let Mett compete with him. Period. This isn't hating. It's stupid to put all your eggs in the Mett basket.

Let's get this straight right now.  I don't hate him...I am just not as enamoured with him as most here.  And as Titantex said, he is competing with the top QB's in the draft now.  QBing for me is more than a big arm and stats, and I am not sold on Mettenberger.  So for me, if you go 24 -35 with 287 yds, 1TD and a QBR of 102.9, that doesn't make you great QB because I watch the entire game.  For others it does.

 

 

By the way, those were the stats for Whitehurst last night.  How many would say he had a great game or is the QB of the future from that performance.  Shit, most don't even think he is a capable back up.  But if it was Mettenberger with that same performance in a lost to one of the worst teams in football, he would be lauded the next coming of Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.  Unfortunately, he is inconsistent, and just not a playmaker similar to Whitehurst.  But that is my opinion.

Who hates Mettenberger?  Can you name posters that you feel hate him?  Other than one or two posters (BruinBills who seems like he is straight trolling) I don't think I have see anything approximating hate towards him.  Skepticism that he is the long term answer sure but not sure I have seen much if any hate towards him.  And I guess what do you qualify as hate, if a poster thinks we should take another quarterback in the draft does that qualify as hate in your opinion?

I hate him because idiots are already blowing their load over a rookie. The law of averages now says he's going to be flop. Thanks Ninja.

 

It's hard to call a 6th round pick a flop, nor will he ever be referred to as a bust, but the hype surrounding him on this board is kinda ridiculous.

 

First of all, just because he was taken in the sixth round doesn't make him the next Tom Brady. Secondly, he's not as injury-prone as Locker but he's not exactly durable either.

 

Thirdly, he's not exactly a model citizen which you really need for a starting QB. But most important he's 0-6 as a starter, so until he wins a game he's basically nothing.

Who hates Mett?

 

 

 

But it's almost like... like he isn't getting much of a chance to gain enough confidence in him to stop the team from either drafting a QB high or going after a legit vet as a starter. Damn. If only someone had warned people to temper their expectations due to the unlikelihood that he'd get enough of a chance to do that.

Don't even try it.

 

You were so horribly wrong about the entire QB situation dating back to last year, that went you into hiding all season (minus the occasional awkward Crossfit post).

 

You didn't predict Mett would get hurt because he was inserted as the started so quickly, and over a healthy Locker, and there currently hasn't been any moves for some big name FA or 1st round rookie QB. He showed enough to win the starting position, despite a "lack of reps."
