JOJOTOWNSELL Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Are we secure enough in our QB situation to forget about our old friend Zach? He is on the verge of getting cut, funny how quickly perceptions change lol. I wonder how many people on the board would rather go with Petty than him as the backup? http://lsu.247sports.com/Article/Zach-Mettenberger-battling-for-roster-spot-with-San-Diego-46865824 When Zach Mettenberger was picked up by San Diego shortly after he was cut by Tennessee, many expected the former LSU signal-caller to compete with Kellen Clemens for the backup spot to Phillip Rivers. Midway through the preseason, it now looks like Mettenberger is in for the fight of his life to just earn a spot on the practice squad. After completing just 2-of-8 passes for 22 yards with an interception in his preseason debut, to go with two sacks and a fumble, Mettenberger was looking to redeem himself in Friday’s, 19-3, win against Arizona. That opportunity, however, never came. Instead, San Diego went with Mettenberger’s biggest competition – undrafted rookie free agent Mike Bercovici – for an extended time in the second half that kept Mettenberger on the sideline. “We gave Mike (Bercovici) an opportunity to go in there for a half,” said head coach Mike McCoy. “We said we wanted to give him a good half to see how he could do it and (he) went in there and made some good plays. “(He) is a young player; a young quarterback that is going to make some mistakes, miss some throws, make some plays (and be) a little bit up and down at times. But there’s nothing like experience…You can’t ever take these reps away from players so that is the great thing about the preseason games for the young players.” Bercovici responded by completing 9-of-13 throws for 108 yards. That was a better outing than his debut the previous week when he completed 3-of-6 passes for 46 yards with an interception. Some who cover the Chargers feel that Bercovici has the inside track ahead of Mettenberger for the No. 3 spot. Mettenberger is expected to get a chance to show what he can do next week against Minnesota in what could be a do-or-die situation for the third-year pro.

Rexorcism Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Lol, whatever you say. lol, yourself... You don't know what any QB will become, just as I don't. Vinny Testaverde is the perfect example, the light went on for him in his 8th season with a new team. Going by your comment, you would have laughed off Cleveland signing him that year and probably us signing him in 98... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
