Is Jacob Coker the most overrated QB who hasn't taken a snap ever?

I think Jacob Coker is getting way too much hype

Alabama fans think he will be able to slide right in and be fine

I think they are in for a rude awakening

It will take time for him to get going

I know Mettenberger had a lot of hype behind him but the expectations weren't this high

Fortunately the rest of Alabama is good enough to where he can struggle and the rest of the team can pick up the slack

Expect a lot of low scoring wins, like Alabama's game vs. Colorado State last year

Guy will be a bust... another QB will take his spot next year

LF7 is a more overrated QB

Does the term "Mettsiah" ring a bell?

Whenever a thread title has overrated, the answer is always Leonard Fournette.

Well, the thought is he doesn't have to do very much with all the talent Bama has surrounding him. However, putting him on Heisman lists and projecting him as a 1st round NFL pick AT THIS POINT is just silly.

Mettenberger had good games... it was LSU's defense that let them down last year

Don't think Coker will perform at the same level in 2014

This is what I am getting at

Not saying he will suck

But people are putting him as a Davey O'Brien finalist, first team ALL SEC lists, etc.

Slow down

That was just from LSU fans though. The national media has given more hype to Coker than any transfer QB in recent years including Cam.

Coker will not win a Heisman, because he wont be asked to. He will likely win games though. He is getting way to overhyped as far as the stats that he will put up, but not as far as leading the team and winning games.

Why would we think that?

Oh that's right, our last two first year starters slid right in and did fine, won a national championship actually.

Yeah, but not everyone is AJ McCarron.

your LSU butthurt is about to overflow onto your keyboard & your entire team was overrated in 2013. Logical LSU fans know what to expect from LF

You mean the game manager? What about McElroy?

All he has to do is protect the ball and hit open WRs. No one will expect him to carry the team. He'll be no worse than McElroy or McCarron their first years...... both won BCS Championships.
