But McCarron has more confidence and has better accuracy when it comes to shorter passes within 5-15 yards.
I mean, McCarron only had above 212 once in his 5 starts. Well, he technically didn't start the Steelers game, but I'll give it to him. If not he only has 212 as his highest in starts.
Mett had above 260 yards 3 times in his first 5 starts.
I know this may be an unpopular opinion, but I choose Mett over McCarron.
Sure, you can use the wins stats. But the Titans won 12 games in 3 years. They went 12-36 in 3 years. With and without Mett.
The issue with Mettenberger is, by my glance, only 2 of the 10 games played and went 0-10 in were even remotely close. When your team is getting blown out you should be putting up some better looking stats, if nothing else. 3 times in 10 losses he threw for more than 250 yards. Meh.
The guy just seems like another of those big guys who goes late and doesn't do much.
