  1. C'mon and quit the damn nonsense with the 0-6 record you do realize he played with a really bad defense that was league worst right???? Hard to win when you put up 24 points a game on offense and the defense gives up 30. Even Peyton Manning started out 3-13 his rookie year. The 0-6 record if you'll do a little checking instead of just thinking automatically the guy ain't worth a crap then you might find out there was a reason for the record. Mett put up a 110QB rating threw for 250 yards including an 80 yard bomb for TD against Pittsburgh he even set an NFL MNF rookie record for a QB. However the defense gave up over 200 yards rushing and could not get off the field. Is that Mettenbergers fault???? Mettenberger passed for 345 yards including 8 passes over 20 yards but special teams gave up TD's,defense couldn't get off the field. Is that Mettenberger's fault???? In his first game Mettenberger set a team record passing for 300 yards and 2TD and a 95 pass rating. Again is it Mettenbergers fault the defense can't get off the field?????????????? But guys like
  2. Pete Prisco ‏@PriscoCBS 1h1 hour ago Bills should trade for Mettenberger. I told Mettenberger a team should trade for him. He brushed it off. But you know he wouldn't mind 19 retweets 29 favorites @nflnetwork "Zach Mettenberger is one of the 32 good QBs in this league. "He is a starter." - @RealMikeRob http://bit.ly/1Wre7LQ Marc Sessler ‏@MarcSesslerNFL 2h2 hours ago Can't help it: Really liked Mettenberger tonight. Marc Sessler ‏@MarcSesslerNFL 2h2 hours ago @StatisticalApp @ChrisWesseling I'd take Mett over Cousins Ranked as one of top backup QB's at NFL.com http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000501986/article/ranking-backup-qbs-from-no-1-to-32 Mettenberger is the real deal been trying to tell you guys he'd be perfect here. He has a rocket arm,he can complete passes all over the field,he loves to throw the deep ball. He's very cocky confident be perfect for Rex.
  3. Outside of the normal AFC EAST division what team in the league do you consider a big rival? Would it be.... Tennessee? because of the past such as the '93 playoff come from behind,'99 Music City Miracle Dallas? because of past Super Bowls
  4. Did you even watch the guy play? ??? I put the highlights up from last year. The reason he went 0-6 is the Titans have no defense. Mettenberger also had no offensive line and no running game BUT he did have receivers and played very well in the passing game. In two of the six games he played in he set franchise and NFL records.Going into his sixth game he lead all rookie QB's with a 95 passer rating. Mettenberger completed 27 of 41 for 300 yards with 2TD and 1INT his first game against Houston setting a franchise rookie QB record. He threw an 80 yard bomb against Pitt and overall completed 15 of 24 passes for 263 yards with 2TD and 1INT,110 QB rating setting a MNF rookie record for QB. Against Philly he threw for 345 yards including eight passes over twenty yards with 2TD and 1INT and an 88 QB rating. In his fifth game at Houston he completed 13 of 19 passes completing 68 percent of his passes for 184 yards for 1TD and 1INT and a 95 QB rating. Not bad at all for a rookie. He only played in six games but played good IMO for a rookie QB on a crappy team. Most teams would take a rookie with that kind of production. NO? Of course they would. Sometimes you have to look past the record because that doesn't tell the full story. Take a look at Mettenberger rookie highlights. Looks pretty good for a rookie.......http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2m4f59_zach-mettenberger-rookie-highlights_sport
  5. Also like someone pointed out earlier i fully expect the Titans to parlay Mettenberger into something like a third or second rounder like Atlanta when they traded Schaub to Houston. The crazy thing with TN is they went from having no good QB's to picking possibly one of the best QB in 2014 with Mett and 2015 with Mariota. Now they have possibly two good QB's reminds me of San Diego 2004 with Rivers and Brees. Mettenberger if you look at these highlights below in his rookie season really doesn't look like a rookie and crazy thing is he has lost a lot of weight to help his mobility and get better. Take a second and watch some highlights from Mettenberger rookie season and he did all this with a crappy offensive line,no running game and league worst defense. Before he started and got hurt in his sixth and last game against the Giants he was leading all rookie QB in passer rating. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2m4f59_zach-mettenberger-rookie-highlights_sport Also look at some of the passes he makes in these highlights some over the shoulder or toward the sideline type passes he makes are very impressive. He can also throw some good deep passes as well. Good throwing frozen rope and other passes too.
  6. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/25231060/ranking-the-best-backup-quarterback-situations-in-the-nfl Mettenberger near the top of the list on the best backup QB's right now. Glennon on there too. Eventually, if Mariota works out, Mettenberger might get a starting shot in another NFL city.
  7. The 0-6 record that keeps getting thrown out there is baloney. Mettenberger played very well every game. It was mostly the defenses fault that the team didn't win not Mettenberger. Also if you truly look at his stats and look at the highlights of his i posted from his playing at Tennessee this year you'll see exactly what i mean. Even Peyton Manning went 3-13 his first year but you could still see the promise he showed that first year. Not comparing the two at all i'm just saying there are plenty of examples of good QB's starting out with losing seasons and progressing later.
  8. Yeah he threw eight passes over twenty yards in that Philly game including 345 yards total. Did you see the Pittsburgh game where Mettenberger threw an 80 yard bomb? He had a 110 passer rating in that game and set a MNF record in passing yards for rookie QB. The only reason TN lost that game was the defense gave up more than 200 yards to Bell rushing. Half those games Mett lost were piss poor defense,dumb penalties,horrible blocking,etc. There were a lot of Titan fans believe it or not that were pissed when they drafted Mariota. Most wanted a trade for more picks or Leonard Williams. The thing is the GM there and Whisenhunt drafted Mariota to buy themselves more time i think. It sucks because most of the fans know Mettenberger is the real deal but the GM fell for the new shiny toy that is Mariota. Watching Mett to me reminded me of a Dan Fouts or Bret Favre type. He can sling it all over the field and dead on target.
  9. First off let me just say that i mostly follow the Titans but have always liked Buffalo as well going back over twenty five years. I have noticed you got a head coach i've always admired in Rex Ryan and you also have what seems to be a damn good team but missing the one main ingredient a good starting QB. I have no doubt watching this team that it could be a really good one. However Manuel and Cassel aren't gonna be good enough to get this team where it needs to go. I am very angry probably as mad as i've ever been at a team based on some decisions they've made the past offseason and that team is Tennessee Titans. After years and i mean over a decade of piss poor QB play the team finally found a good QB in the draft in Zach Mettenberger. How bad was Tennessee QB situation you say? Over the past decade Tennessee had a different leading passer at QB every year for the past ten years. Can you imagine having a different leading passer every year thats how dysfunctional the QB position was. No other team in the league has done that bad as TN. Well i knew from the minute i saw him play in preseason he was a keeper. Mettenberger in his first preseason game leads a come from behind victory in the last seconds against Green Bay. In his second game he completed 20 of 25 passes against New Orleans including a 65 yard missle to Justin Hunter that was right on the money. He ended up leading the NFL in preseason passing. Well then due to it being Jake Locker's last year of his rookie deal they wanted to see if he would finally be the guy so they gave him the starting job instead of Mettenberger. That was the first time in a series of many i felt like they overlooked Zach. Locker would go on stretches of five games where he would only complete 45% of his passes he was awful. Then he would have one good game to keep the team hoping he was turning a corner. This went on four long years. He also only played 22 out of 48 games because of injuries. Well during the 2014 regular season after Locker played poorly then got hurt Mettenberger got the chance to finally start. Mettenberger threw 27 of 41 for 300 yards with 2TD and 1INT and a 93.4 pass rating his first game against Houston setting a franchise rookie QB record. He threw an 80 yard bomb against Pitt and overall completed 15 of 24 passes for 263 yards with 2TD and 1INT,110 QB rating setting a MNF rookie record for QB. Against Philly he threw for 345 yards including eight passes over twenty yards with 2TD and 1INT and an 88 QB rating. Against Baltimore on the road he threw for 16 of 27.59%,179 yards,1TD and 1INT. First three or four drives he lead the offense deep into Baltimore territory. In his fifth game at Houston he completed 13 of 19 passes completing 68 percent of his passes for 184 yards for 1TD and 1INT and a 95 QB rating. The last game against NY Giants he got hurt with a patchwork offensive line made up of reserves and rookies and completed 14 of 24 passes,58% completed,125 yards before leaving with an injury. He only played in six games but played good IMO and showed promise for a rookie QB on a ****ty squad. He had no line,no running game and a defense that was last in the league. Late in the season in Mett's last game he had an 87.8 passer rating top among all rookie QB's in 2014. The guy is a gunslinger he was throwing missles regularly but the linemen had penalties constantly backing the team up in second and twenty situations. Hard for any QB to have to deal with that a lot. Between the constant penalties on offense and a defense giving up too much yardage it was a can't win. After the season was over in Tennessee it was pretty much being said Zach would be the starter. Well the team ended up drafting Marcus Mariota and i'm sure a lot of fans would want Mariota BUT after seeing how well Mettenberger played on a very ****ty team i just knew if the guy had a decent offensive line,running game and a defense better than last in the league he would have a shot. Not sure if you saw it up here in New York but Mettenberger said he would fight to the death for the starting job and said he could beat all new comers including Mariota. The guy is very cocky and confident and would go perfectly with Rex Ryan. I'm not sure where Mettenberger will end up. I am hoping that he goes somewhere he can show what he can do. I have no doubt if Buffalo had Mettenberger with the type of team they have there right now he would get them pretty far. Keep you ears and eyes open. trust me if you guys end up getting this kid you are getting a steal. He is the real deal........ http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2m4f59_zach-mettenberger-rookie-highlights_sport These are some of his highlights. He played very well for a rookie. Can put his longer deeper passes right on the money. He has a rocket arm and good accuracy.
