Ponder has no awareness. He had no idea he couldn't step up there and he took the sack.
Vikings are going to have to go back to the well for a QB again this offseason... !@#$!@#%!@#%
I'm so sick of going to the well... Why can't we just find a freaking franchise quarterback? Seriously! Seems to me that around 80% (or more) of NFL teams currently have a franchise quarterback, be he a rookie or a veteran. We, of course, are in that 20% and have been for as long as I've been a Vikings fan. That's pathetic. Time to find an answer. For real.

Ponder doesn't trust his receivers? You need to prove yourself as a passer before you distrust your receivers.

Spooky.
144. Adrian Peterson's 144 yards are his most ever in a 1st half. His best in a 2nd half? 253 yards in week 9 of 2007, five years ago today.

I'm just saying it feels like he has zero trust in his receivers, look at some of Luck's throws today into double coverage throws it up knowing his guy will make a play on the ball. Do we even have anybody that would do that? At least from Ponder's perspective it doesn't seem like we do.
This is true, like that ball he forced to Jerome earlier. He trusts him, to some extent.

He can't get open...aside from that, Rudolph also has had some weird drops. Granted, the throw was not accurate but still...
I don't buy that he can't get open. Within 40 yards, decent QB's can throw to their TE's.

He completed two passes over 10 yds. today... 13 and 14 yds.
He is 7/13 for 42 yds,,. 7 completions for 42 yds... that's 6 yds per throw... whoopeee!
He is 25th in the league in yards/attempt.
Sorry, not "feeling" his mid-range passing prowess.

I bet the correlation is very low.

Come on now, dont get down on the kid. If he completes both of his attempts per game over 10 yards that would be an improvement.
