What quarterback is going to admit they lost their confidence? In a single game in a no where season? Yeah not every time he leaves the pocket, but there are a number of times he panics, gets happy feet, or just ignores other options just waiting for his primary read to get open. Desperate that he can get rid of the ball. His brain no longer functioning like it should.
How many times has Ponder thrown a ball away if nothing is there? How many times does he go from his read to a check down when it isn't early in his progression?
Heck just last week he's talking about "playing mad" to start off the game. What kind of ego driven NFL player needs to try and pump themselves up like that? He didn't have that to begin with? This deep into his football career and he still has these issues?
It gets worse and worse.
wasn't it just a game ago that you said you wouldn't come to any conclusions if he isn't as sharp after this game?
