I gave up on him. He could feel my Care Bear Stare leaving him.

You have to take that over a sack or an interception. Just dump it off, gain 10 and set the field goal up right down the middle of the field.

Ponder looked like a different QB on that drive. Nice to see him starting to step up in the pocket.

Defense has looked good in the 2nd half.

Have you seen the pocket he's being given? It's the best I've seen this line protect all year.

Much better overall in the 2nd half.

But with Ponder it's always like this - you get some good snaps and some bad snaps. The good just never outweighs the bad. Even if he finishes with a perfect 2nd half it just balances out his awful first half.
