With this offensive line, Webb will do fine!

i agree, defenses will have to watch ap and webb for the run and the passing game will open up. instead of them trying to establish a passing game with ponder.

Re: Webb Time!!!
With five minutes to go in the game Ponder had little more than 40 yards. I would say that any doubt has been removed.

Re: Webb Time!!!
The defense went into prevent on the last drive... Ponder couldn't deliver a TD and we missed the FG.Valhalla wrote: Yes, that last drive he was able to string a few together.
Romo has had some games where he doesn't start until the 4th quarter but 9 points down with 3 minutes left, we've got to do better.

Re: Webb Time!!!
Webb isn't the Answer either.. I think we should give the Sac State product a try and see what he has ..
This season is over anyways at this point ..

Re: Webb Time!!!
HAHHAHAHAH. How many more sub 60 qb rating games do you and FRAZIER need to see?????????????soflavike wrote:I'm willing to give Webb a shot... maybe not next game, but if Ponder continues to suck, why not?
He may not be a prototypical NFL QB, but at least Webb doesn't play chicken like Ponder does.

Joe Webb's QB rating with 20+ Passes: 46.4, 75.3, 38.3, 87.8, 60.0.purplehaze wrote: HAHHAHAHAH. How many more sub 60 qb rating games do you and FRAZIER need to see?????????????
I think Frazier might be afraid of how many more he'd see. Except without the occasional 114 like Ponder had 4 weeks ago

And Webb had 23 games to base his stats on? Not comparing apples to apples my friend.Demi wrote: Joe Webb's QB rating with 20+ Passes: 46.4, 75.3, 38.3, 87.8, 60.0.

If that's true, why is Webb on the team? Very questionable...Then again, it's no secret the Vikings have been steadfast in their commitment to Ponder since drafting him 12th overall out of Florida State 19 months ago. That was an organizational decision for the long haul, and any change of course would have to come from over Frazier's head.
In other words, with no belief in Webb as a starting quarterback from the top down, players and coaches alike know their only hope for keeping their season alive is to do everything in their power to pull Ponder out of his latest rut, before it's too late.

Re: Webb Time!!!
The coaching staff obviously thinks Webb is capable enough of coming off the bench and being a serviceable backup, not a long-term solution. I think he's valuable in that role.purplehaze wrote: Exactly. I don't understand.

Not sure I understand... they think he can come off the bench and be serviceable, but he can't start? Is that what you're saying?dead_poet wrote:The coaching staff obviously thinks Webb is capable enough of coming off the bench and being a serviceable backup, not a long-term solution.

What happens if Ponder gets hurt? We have to go sign a free agent? I always thought a backup QB should be able to replace the starter if needed.

Re: Webb Time!!!
Yes. Every team has a guy that can get the job done if the starter goes down (or wishes they had that guy). For example, Charlie Batch (though the #3) is a guy that has shown he can spot-start and move the offense but it's Big Ben's team.soflavike wrote: Not sure I understand... they think he can come off the bench and be serviceable, but he can't start?

You put in Webb. That's his role. Reliever, spot-starter, with the idea that Ponder is/should be the better quarterback.What happens if Ponder gets hurt?
Yes. That's right. I'm not seeing the confusion.I always thought a backup QB should be able to replace the starter if needed.

Re: Webb Time!!!
That grave should have been dug weeks ago. Now instead of ten feet deep, they seem to be going for fourteen. I suppose it's got to be deep enough to fit a GM, Coach and OC, because right now that's who is responsible for this debacle.
