Meanwhile the Vikings trophy case still sits empty.

A few dropped balls??

This is a lie. I watched the games. There were no drops. This is a flat out lie.

I love the Vikings, Ponder is horrible. Every time he rolls out of the pocket I close my eyes.

You might want to review the tape like Spielman did, because I clearly remember off the top of my head Stephen Burton dropping a pass that hit him in the chest and Adrian Peterson dropping a screen albeit hurried.

You are clearly mistaken.

Maybe if you opened your eyes you would see the dropped passes. Stephen Burton dropped an easy one right in his hands on about the 3-yard line.

This defense is good enough to give up less than 24 points per game. Sure, against some of the better offenses they may give up more and against those teams he will probably HAVE to have multiple TD’s in those games. But, for 10 out of 16 games if he gets 200-250 yards and at least 1-2 TDs this team will win 75%+ of those games.

Last week is a PERFECT example, what was his line 224 yds and 2 td’s and we win. Even if he gets 1 td we still win. The formula is pretty simple for this team to win. Get AP 120+yds and 1-2 td’s, Ponder get 200-250 1-2 TDs, play middle of the road defense and you will win games. Getting scoring out of Special Teams is just a bonus.

If AP gets 120+ yds and Ponder gets 200-250 yds you can probably count on 2 or 3 FG’s in those games as well. A couple of TD’s out of the 2 of them gets you near that 24 points that the defense should give up less than in most games.

The REAL question I have is can Ponder even be that guy… I don’t really think so. So far this year he has played ok in the first 5 games and pretty terrible in the last 5 games. Yes, inconsistency comes with young QB’s, BUT how many times does a young QB throw for less than 70 yards in ONE game much less multiple games. His bad games CANNOT be that bad, sure I can see 150 yds, but anything under 100 is remotely acceptable when AP is running around getting 150+ yds. They say he’s their guy so I guess we’ll all see if he can be a Hassleback or Alex Smith, is that good enough to win a Super Bowl, maybe if they can consistently run AP in the playoffs.

What’s he going to tell you the truth? That ponder is slightly below average? You won’t get the truth until viks finish up at 6-10. You’ll also get the truth from harvin at that time.

Whoa… Did you all catch that? Carl called Ponder only SLIGHTLY below average. Sounds like a politician trying to hedge away from a previous stance when it becomes obvious he was wrong.

You know, like how now it is 6-10 instead of 2-14…..

This is a lie. I watched the games. There were no drops. This is a flat out lie.

“Look! Captain! Iceberg, dead ahead!!”

“Sanchez is our guy” “Ponder is our guy

————————–

Apples/oranges man. Sanchez’ rookie year was 2009, that’s almost 4 seasons of evaluation for the guy. Ponder hasn’t even had a full season of games yet to evaluate on.

Unfortunately Joe Webb’s talents are being wasted while they decide if Ponder is the future.

With the right coaching and gameplan Webb could be the future for some team.

“Look! Captain! Iceberg, dead ahead!!”

“Sanchez is our guy” “Ponder is our guy”
