Vikings @ 49ers Game Day Discussion Thread -- Preseason #3

[Purple bruise]

If it's any consolation, Ponder will be thrown to the Lions in week 1.

Didn't you mean to say the Christian will be thrown to the Lions

I can't believe I missed that! Nice catch~

[Purple bruise]

Fixed.

That would make you and your little friends happy I bet

I was being facetious, hence the elephant. I'm not one of the Ponder bashers, but I'm not an apologist either.

Sorry I wasn't aware that a happy looking, dancing pink elephant meant anything but being joyfull or happy about something ie. throwing interceptions to the Lions. I missed the facetious part and in this light it is quite funny
A Viking fan I am, not an apologist for anyone on this team, even when AD was fumbling I still supported him and was not an apologist for him just as I do Ponder.

Sorry, those are your only two choices. It's cake or death!

pretty sure the qbs coach is part of the problem, seriously, he is either a giant pansy who cant be straight up with his qbs or is an idiot, im going with the latter. i forget the quote, but from a few years back he said something about not trying to change our quarterback. this guy has to go.

How did you reach this pair of unappealing options? What makes QB coach Craig Johnson either a pansy or an idiot?

Normally I wouldn't answer such an absurd question but here goes. Cause he's our QB's coach duh!

Have you seen our QBs play over the past few years? How about incompetent? Is that less offensive? But I bet its due to lack of execution...

LOL! For an incompetent QB, he's been awfully good in the red zone over his short career. Here's an interesting take on red zone performance by QBs in 2012:

Since your mind is beyond made up regarding Ponder's competence, I doubt you'll be interested but others might be...

Because he said he was 'pretty sure'.

Pass the deathcake, please~

Ponder is just way too bad of a prospect, not much any QB coach could do with that.

[NextQuestion]

What I saw from our QB coach was in an episode of "Welcome to the NFL" from 2006 when Vince Young was a rookie. He's basically a cheer leader and can teach a QB routes but doesn't believe in changing the mechanics.

I'll bet that single episode of "Welcome to the NFL!" focused almost exclusively on Craig Johnson's coaching techniques and revealed absolutely everything there is to know about how he has coached over his long career.

YOU DOWN WITH PPP, YEAH YOU KNOW ME!
