Re: Ponder's QBR

The QBR is designed to capture that, although I don't buy that Ponder was coddled. I think the game plans they formulated were based on the personnel they had. Ponder was asked to do less than Rodgers or Stafford but why on earth would they have asked him to put the ball in the air 500+ or 700+ tim...

Re: Harvin traded

It's official, we also get a 3rd rounder in 2014. IN my opinion, we pulled off a great trade considering the tough position we were in with PH" I agree. My friend who's a seahawk fan texted me when the deal was originally reported and I told him I doubt we got much for him. To get a 1st round ...

Re: So what should we do with our WR core?

Becuase he is old and he is a product of Brady and Coach. Welker is not what this team needs. We need young WR's that can grow with Ponder. The only big name WR we should be considering is Victor Cruz, 26 yrs old, mature, injury free, and an amazing WR. True, I agree he doesn't help the future of t...

Re: So what should we do with our WR core?

EDIT: I forgot to answer the question intially in my post. I think we need to add 3 WRs this off season. The way I see it, we could do this a few different ways: -1 top tier WR in FA, 1 depth WR in FA, 1 WR in the draft OR -1 depth WR in FA, 2 WRs in the draft (1 first rounder, 1 mid-round) To defin...

Re: Introduction from Afar

You're welcome, I'm just so appreciative of the obvious interest. Honestly, I have nothing but positive memories, wonderful campus. The Keenan Memorial Stadium is atmospheric and with the historic bell tower providing the backdrop, it's a special setting for football. The fact that it was a swelter...

Re: Manti T'eo

I'd be happy with the Vikings picking T'eo. Who was that LB who came out of miami that fell in the draft to the late 20s 15 or so years ago? I'm pretty sure a purple team drafted him too...

Re: Souhan: Ownership got it right with coach and culture

Thank you for this thread! I was unsure about Fraizer last season, but it's hard to blame him considering where the team was when he inherited it. It's a lot easier to like a coach when they're part of a playoff team, but I really started to like Fraizer this season. I love how he carries himself an...

Re: Ponder's injury/toughness

Can Ponder be a tough guy, but also be injury prone? You mention two college injuries in the original post. He came out of three games last year due to injuries - Detroit, Washington, and Chicago. And then the elbow this year. I was pleasantly surprised that he made it through the 2012 regular seas...
