    Come at me when you have an argument.

    We threw much much more. QB is not any good and 90% of all fans though Mett was the chosen one.

    Not sure what more Miles can do. He will obviously hire some new coaches, he always does.

    I thought he was that's for sure. And he shows flashes of brilliance

    We can blame the coach, if Mett didn't over throw most every pass this game is a blow out.

    Mettenberger is bipolar. When he throws a good pass receivers can't catch it except once today with Boone and the TD. When receivers are wide open he can't come within 5 yards of them. How many wide open receivers did he overthrow today?

    I won't rehash the injury issues on the OL, or the receivers with stone hands. I don't understand the lack of pocket awareness, and when he has wide open receivers, the overthrows. Can't recall seeing so many tipped balls at the LOS either, and I think that's related to his lack of awareness.

    There were a few drives where the play calling was complete trash, but over all I thought the game was called ok. The coaches put Mettenberger in position to make a slew of plays with his arm and he rarely did.

    Why is it that he can recruit every position, except the most important one. Not criticizing you, but it's a legitimate question.

    QB sucks, but he can develop offensive talent better, he can have a more disciplined, focused team (did you see all of the unnecessary penalties or despite Mett's issues our entire offense looking confused at times), he can design an offense that takes advantage of what skills, as limited as they may be, that his QB has. He can have better situational awareness. He can try to score TDs instead of running the ball on 3rd and 10 in the red zone. He can insist on a creative play or 2 when we're inside the 10. He can improve our pathetic 3 TDs in 14 redzone trips this year. He can play to win, instead of playing not to lose.

    There's 8 things right there that he can do better. I'm sure there's many, many more.
