Titans release Mettenberger

[Doc50]

After the issue at the bar he was suspended from the team. Transferred then to LSU. Was considered the time prior to the ACL issue to be a possible 2 or 3 round pick.

He was kicked off UGA after pleading guilty to 2 counts of misdemeanor sexual battery in a bar 6 years ago.
He then signed with Butler for a year, before ending up at LSU.

If he can't beat out Mettenberger which I doubt he can then he is the scrub. Moore is not the future of this franchise. We need somebody in case Tony goes down.

Mettenberger is not the future of the Cowboys franchise either. I'm all for bringing in competition at every position, including the all important QB position. But more interested in the best competition, not a proven scrub.

What does it say that Titans believe Cassel is the better option, and they know Mettenberger best.

 

[Doc50]

It's erod. So not really.
You might as well claim Mett is a raging furry who stares at holographic posters of present day Mary Tyler Moore all day on shrooms and it would be about as likely.

And wins and loses are not all on the QB. He is to compete with Moore and Showers for a roster spot now the starting job.

Mettenberger fails every QB trait check list, except for arm strength. Accuracy, footwork, mobility and decision making are all sub par to complete crap.

And forget intangibles.

 

[JoeKing]

I would rather not waste time with a proven loser. Mettenberger is the "least" of the available options. How does Moore get better being pushed by a scrub?

Arm strength is not the most important criteria for a QB. Otherwise Jeff George would be in HOF.

If arm strength, size and cost are your most important factors for QB (or backup QB) success then you may as well advocate for JaMarcus Russell. At least he won SOME games.

Metty B is not as you say, "a scrub" but thanks for your $0.02. Coming into the draft 2 years ago, this was the bottom line written on him...

"Pure drop back passer, strong-armed thrower who will require patient, confidence-building play-calling and a clean pocket to function at a high level in the NFL. Has starter talent in a vertical, downfield passing attack if he can learn to take command of a huddle and continue progressing as a decision-maker. How he interviews with teams could go a long way toward determining his draft status." ~Nolan Nawrocki, NFL Scout.

Sounds like a good fit to me. Wade Wilson can coach him up in no time and he will push Moore to get better or take his job.

Sounds like scrub to me. But thanks for the Wade Wilson line, still laughing at that bit of wisdom.

No No No No No to Mettenberger.

I think you are wrong. I see no harm in giving him a chance. If he is what you say after that then fine.

Yes I havent followed him, but remember reading or listening to Paul Charchian (i think thats who it was) and him saying Met was one of the top back ups in the league and if it wasnt for Marriota hed be challenging for a starting job. Doesnt he have protypical size, a strong arm and some all around skills?

I dont understand why some would be opposed to this. I like to think Moore could develop because hes a smart player with some moxy, but I also realize hes pretty small and may not have the arm strength. So Id love to put a claim in on Met. I think hed probably beat out more and is young enough to maybe be more than a back up.

In all honestly Ill be a little peeved if we dont pit in a claim. But the Chargers may nab him first.

You have made 100 posts and have not presented one good reason to not bring him in

We need a back-up and he is a back-up

If you are scared of competition for KMoore then that tells me everything about your real confidence in KMoore and not some internet hot air you keep spitting

 

[Bleu Star]

Romo... Prescott... Moore. We're fine.

 

[JoeKing]

Romo... Prescott... Moore. We're fine.

It's Romo... Moore... Showers and then Prescott. I still don't think we are fine.

Could give a rip about Kellen Moore. And I've presented tons of reasons why, which is evident throughout this thread except to those who choose to be blind.

1) 0-10 as a starter
2) Lowest QBR in history after 10 starts
3) Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane
4) the team that drafted him prefers Matt frigging Cassel
5) does not fit Cowboys QB profile: smart, mobile, accurate and off the chart intangibles
6) the face of the franchise cannot be a convicted sex offender
7) if first 6 reasons are not enough, the guy has a spinal condition and this is the guy who us going to replace a QB with a bad back????

Just because he is cheap and has a canon for an arm does not make this loser a good fit for the Cowboys.

He was a 65% passer his last year at LSU. I don't buy the rest of your assertions. Sorry. You just seem to be emotionally determined to me.

He was right at 60% accuracy with supporting cast in TN sporting a 84 qb rating.

QBR is a fluff statistic that doesn't correlate to reality.

His team changed coaches.

Who said he had to be the face of the franchise and Ben Roethlisberger says hello.

Agree or not, point is moot. Cowboys have stated they will not put in claim for Mettenberger.

You mean where Broaddus said he didn't think they would? Have a quote from an actual decisionmaker or citing one?

So a guy accused of rape is the new standard in Dallas? They are both Bergers but only one was actually convicted. Both are scum to me but only one of them is an actual loser on football field.

Can't believe the number of fans even defending this guy. Smh

Again, discussion is all for naught, Cowboys do not want. And I for one, am glad.

This is garbage. He was convicted of groping a waitress. That is not remotely rape. My point is that Roethlisberger settled out of court on a case actually involving rape allegations and he is the face of an NFL franchise. He destroys your point.

This is what I'm getting at about emotionally determined. You are biased to the point of unreliability.

And again you have a quote from someone in Dallas' brass that actually makes that declaration because that is not even what Broaddus said and he doesn't even meet that standard.

It was 2 counts of sexual battery, never did I say he was convicted of rape. Sexual battery is a sex offense. Reading comprehension must not be your strong suit.

Just because you describe it as "groping" or that the victim was an off duty waitress does not mitigate the conviction or the acts.
