UNDBIZ Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 So let me get this straight? As soon as he's ready to go Josh Freeman is the starter? So does that mean that the Christian Ponder era is over? Unless Freeman sh*ts the bed the rest of the season. Although if that happens, I expect the Vikings to try out the draft again next summer for their next qb. Quote
Snake Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 So let me get this straight? As soon as he's ready to go Josh Freeman is the starter? So does that mean that the Christian Ponder era is over? Yes. I think the Freeman signing was an indirect admission that they missed big time on Ponder. Now, with the season pretty much shot, they need to see what they have in Freeman for the foreseeable future. It's likely Ponder will not see the field again in purple. Quote
Wilbur Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 So basically the last three years have been pissed down their preverbal leg with the whole Ponder experiment. I for one wasn't a fan of drafting the guy. They needed a QB badly, but there just wasn't the quality guy available at the spot they were picking. I mean who knew that Kapernick would turn out the way he did? I guess originally I was a Mallett fan, but who knows what he's got behind Tom Brady for the past three seasons? Well, I guess Freeman can turn out and be the athletic QB that makes plays with a good running game to support him. Or he can complete 40% of his passes and Teddy Bridgewater here we come. Personally I think he had a pretty talented running back in Tampa Bay behind him, but thoughts of the word "uncoachable" come to mind. Last thought.....he kind of reminds me of a Daunte Culpepper. So Viking fans will love him immediately. Quote
Snake Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 So basically the last three years have been pissed down their preverbal leg with the whole Ponder experiment. I'm happy they have at least seemingly acknowledged the err of their ways after three years with Ponder. Some GMs can be stubborn and go down with the ship. Tarvaris Jackson, anyone? Quote
Fetch Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 Uncoachable might be a good thing at Minn Quote
Wilbur Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Same vanilla offense.....Freeman has missed some easy throws high..... But they're ahead......Because of special teams. Quote
Fetch Posted October 22, 2013 Author Posted October 22, 2013 Offensive line needs a butt kicking coach Quote
Wilbur Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 All signs point to them not resigning Allen. I think they'll really miss him on the edge. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Regardless if Wilbur, Fetch and Geaux are catching balls from ARog.. a loss to the Vikes next Sunday would be just absolutely pathetic... unless GB let's AP run 300+! This is really poor FB...by both teams. Quote
jodcon Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Freeman with a QB rating of 32.7, that's pretty sweet. Quote
Wilbur Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Regardless if Wilbur, Fetch and Geaux are catching balls from ARog.. a loss to the Vikes next Sunday would be just absolutely pathetic... unless GB let's AP run 300+! This is really poor FB...by both teams. There is no way the Vikings beat Green Bay.....Green Bay will find guys to catch footballs from ARog.....he can throw the ball to himself and beat them. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 I witnessed a 7th/8th grade FB game recently that rivaled this game in its quality of play. Quote
Wilbur Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Sherrels may have just cost them this game. Well, not like they really have done anything to win it. Drop a pick six, and then fumble when nobody touches you...... Quote
Oxbow6 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Hillis sighting...and it isn't on an old Madden cover. Quote
Fetch Posted October 22, 2013 Author Posted October 22, 2013 Normally one of the most sure handed of the Vikings now simpson has the same disease Quote
Wilbur Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Some of these throws aren't even close. i mean I can see why he was completing 46% of his passes. Then he takes a fricken 15 yard sack...... Go 1-15.....everybody gets fired....#1 draft pick. Quote
Fetch Posted October 22, 2013 Author Posted October 22, 2013 Trade peterson & allen to a team where they have a chance Quote
Wilbur Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 You know its bad when Gruden is calling for Ponder to give the Vikings a chance. Quote
Wilbur Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 And lets just let Floyd play defense.....don't touch the ball son.... Quote
jodcon Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 "There's some confusion in the Vikings huddle right now" Yeah since the preseason. Quote
Shawn-O Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 I really like this Josh Freeman. He's almost as good as Joe Webb! Quote
