MidTNTitansFan Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Excellent comparison captured by @NewsToTom, Tom Gower. Gregg Cossell has an excellent segment on 104.5 and Dilfer has on Plaster's show. Both are very good at what they do. In short, Cossell has been big on Mett before the draft and still is, and Dilfer, not so much. http://totaltitans.com/2014-articles/greg-cosell-vs-trent-dilfer-on-zach-mettenberger.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeBallPaul Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I'm really not too concerned on what Dilfer has to say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenIsLegend Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I always find it hard to take Dilfer seriously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgo Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Mett actually is the first in the building and last to leave. Wis and Webster have both made a point of that. As usual, Dilfer doesn't know wtf he's talking about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual, Dilfer doesn't know wtf he's talking about. I think he is off base there too. However, I am a little concerned about his lack of mobility in the pocket. That is something he will have to work on and I assume he can develop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshimitsu Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 If you can find it, I would suggest checking out The Panel episode that features Mettenberger. He talks a bit about his last season at LSU. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Mett has Improved his pocket mobility quite a bit in his three starts. Cossell is also way smarter than Dilfer about football. Dilfer is pretty bad, has been for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKE75 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Brady and Manning don't have much mobility and they seem to do just fine. Mettenberger is improving each and every game and the best chance this team has had at QB since McNair left. The lack of mobility is a bit overblown.

Nash Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Dilfer was interviewed on the radio recently and said Mett needed to work in throws where his feet and arm angle were not perfect , as well as speed up his decisions and delivery.. I certainly did not think he was dissing him in the radio interview .. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewsToTom Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Dilfer's gotten really involved in the QB evaluation and development business the last couple years. He definitely has some guru-ish aspects to him, but I don't dismiss what he says about the position easily. He also absolutely nailed Locker coming out. He talks to enough people I'd bet the LSU work ethic thing was something he heard from somebody (or somebody who knew somebody) at LSU. If Mettenberger is putting the work now that he didn't at LSU (Dilfer gave an extended disquisition later in the pocket about putting in the lonely work later in his appearance I didn't bother to transcribe), good. On the comments from current team officials how about how hard current player is working, see Rusty Smith, or from earlier this year, all the comments in support of Jake Locker.

Mettenberger is improving each and every game and the best chance this team has had at QB since McNair left. The lack of mobility is a bit overblown. He mentioned Brady and Peyton and basically said they are the only two good enough to get away with it. And he said mobility, like Brees, Rogers, Luck, Big Ben and not like Cam, Kaepernick, RG3. I am a big Mett guy and think he will be good for us. I also take everything Cossell says for gospel, since he is so good and rarely misses, i.e. saying Fitzmagic would have a good year.

Jamalisms Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Yeah, processing speed and intelligence are different things and the difference matters a lot imo. If Mett can't process quicker, (and Dilfer isn't on a limb saying that's an area for improvement because I've heard others say it), the Mett will ultimately prove a tease of one sort or another.
