Good news...an actual QB prospect with upside.
 
Certainly worse options for a No. 3 (though, one of them may be our current backup). Better option than Vick last year.
 
Glad he is a Steeler. He is one of my cousin's son's best friend from High School. Watkinsville GA , is really excited today for a new chance.
 
That's a lot of former Chargers on the team (Green, Matthews, now Mettenberger). Reminds me of the time we signed a whole bunch of former Lions (Batch, Hartings, Kriewalt), but that was mostly due to Colbert's former affiliation w/Detroit.
 
Zach is not a threat this year to Landry Jones as the backup. Maybe next year with a full off-season in the system. Maybe. Steelers always carry three. Nothing else to it at least for this year.
 
Welcome to Pittsburgh Zach. You have now become the most popular guy on the team.
 
Double berger!

hold the mayo?

Ever consider that plus his NFL experience so far says something about Mettenberger?

I'd say the lack of success(LSU hehe) falls more on Les Miles than Mettenberger. The kid has the tools to succeed at the next level. I think he'll fit nicely in the Steelers system

"I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate"
"What does that make us?"
"Absolutely nothing, which is what you are about to become!"
 
left over fridge dryed bologna on a 4 day old piece of baguette

yay.
 
I'm happy that our team now has 2 all beef patties!

Go Get em Zack!

Props for the Space balls reference.

You know this how?

Look, I am fine with them signing him. I just don't know how it is determined that he is a prospect with upside. When has he shown that?
 
He was once on my list of guys i wanted them to draft late as a prospect... He has an arm that could work here... Im cool with him as a number 3 this year
 
Welcome Young Mettenberger. Live up to our SEC standards (I think I said that I would have preferred Jake Coker, but that wasn't the choice)!!!
 
Nope he is from Watkinsville GA. His mom and my cousin are best friends there boys both went to Oconee High. It is right outside of Athens. That is why he started at UGA. His mom also worked for Richt.

Yep from GA I remember him in spring practice in what seemed forever ago. I think Mettenbergers mom still works for UGA correct?
 
I think he will take the 2 spot, eventually.
