The Auburn posters on this board don't seem to hype their players much, by and large.

Mettenberger by a mile...
Most AU folks were very unsure about what Cam would be like. I had had high hopes after hearing about how good he was, then at A-Day they really didn't let him do much of anything (I think he had one decent pass, but that was it) so everyone was meh. Then with the coach speak in fall, I didn't expect anything really extraordinary, and to be honest, I am not really sure our coaches did either.
Heck, even in the season, if you watch the first 3 or 4 games of 2010 (MSU, USCe, Clemson), we did not exploit Cam's abilities at all like what we did later in the year. I think it took everyone a little bit to figure out just what kind of player we had on our hands.

Why is it every time I see Mettenberger's name brought up, it's not from an LSU fan?

I believe it has to be Mettenberger, Auburn was good, but nothing spectacular going into that year. LSU has been in the elite the past few years, but marred by problems primarily at the QB position. Cammy Cam wasn't sent to save, he just saved. Mettsiah is being to the front lines to deliver.
