and Michael Jordan didn't exactly light it up under Dean Smith either.........how bout Tom Brady? Mettenberger is a another reason to fire Idzik. Here was one of a group of QBs to draft in the middle rounds as insurance or a new direction.....yet Idzik was so in love with Geno he passed. Kills me he was that ignorant to the position.
Until the actual draft day fiasco, most every draft expert had Geno going in the 1st round. Even though I was not a Geno fan while @ WVU, Idzik did the right thing by drafting him in the 2nd round.
Go Jets...Cyborg
what exactly does that mean? Tells me the so called experts don't know shiite. I'd like a GM that doesn't have to draft off Mel Kiper's board. Results dictate the choice was poor.....there was plenty of dissension and criticism of the idea to draft Geno before it happened so I cannot endorse the pick as a good idea.
Furthermore, after that pick was pathetic on the field in 2013, the GM neglected to dip back into the draft to try again. I have a big issue with that one.
Jaws had Mettenberger the #2 QB in the draft.
apparently Jaws has a clue. Who else did he like at QB?
Jaworski ranks Mettenberger over Manziel, Bridgewater

Zach Mettenberger
Ron Jaworski, the former NFL quarterback turned ESPN commentator, is well regarded for his ability to break down film and analyze it in a way that fans can understand. But in breaking down the quarterbacks in this year’s NFL draft, Jaworski has been all over the map.
The latest example: Jaworski said today on NFL Live that he views former LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger as a better prospect than either of the two highest-profile quarterbacks in this year’s draft, Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M or Teddy Bridgewater of Louisville.
“This is the guy that can change the draft, Zach Mettenberger,” Jaworski said. “He has the big, strong arm, the prototypical NFL quarterback, at 6-foot-5, 228 pounds, coached by Cam Cameron down there at LSU, pro-style offense.”
Jaworski ranks former Central Florida quarterback Blake Bortles as the best of this year’s class, Mettenberger second, Manziel third, Bridgewater fourth and Derek Carr of Fresno State fifth. Jaworski seems to put a lot of stock in pro days, moving Manziel up on the risk after ripping Manziel before his impressive showing at Texas A&M’s Pro Day, and moving Bridgewater way down after his disappointing showing at Louisville’s Pro Day.
“After my tape evaluation, I had Teddy Bridgewater No. 1. But I went to his Pro Day. He really struggled throwing the football — accuracy, velocity and it came out with a wobble,” Jaworski said.
It’s highly unlikely that the quarterbacks in this year’s draft class will be selected in Jaworski’s preferred order. But all it takes is one team to love Mettenberger as much as Jaworski does, and Mettenberger will be a first-round pick.
