I love Joe Webb. He could be our version of Calvin Johnson the way he can go up for the ball.

i can't believe that stat on Ponder not throwing a TD over 20 yards all of last season! That's crazy.

He's made 2 big mistakes tonight, but he totally passes the eye test. He usually runs crisp routes, has sure hands and can get some air. I think he's better than Simpson at this point and sad to say he probably is our 2nd best guy.

I don't want Joe Webb to get cut though! Nice TD leap!

What the hell? San Fran trying to take out all of our D-line?

I'd forgotten about him. I hope he comes back from the concussion OK. He's definitely our 2nd best WR.

Burton isn't even ahead of Webb, certainly not Wright. Burton caused the INT and the delay of game in the same series. Webb made a great catch and the TD. Ive seen enough of Burton over the years as a WR to know he isn't the 5th. Webb, in his first year, is a better blocker, can catch better, leap better, and run better routes., and so far I haven't seen him quite mid way on a route.

Webb should make the team :confused:
A successful coach needs a patient wife, loyal dog, and great quarterback - and not necessarily in that order.

Looks like Jefferson is ahead of Rhodes on the depth chart right now.
