Thursday night football continues to be as lovely as Christian Ponder is at being a quarterback.

Brady Quinn is still on a professional football roster in the year two thousand and fourteen.

I am disheartened by the fact that next week looks like a decent game I want a festival of bullshit where each game seeks to be weirder than the previous

From Pro Football Ref: 4 games have been decided by 30+ points this season. 3 of them have been Thursday night games. But yeah, keep this poo poo up.

I was at the packers game. Dix and shields looked really good. Run defense seemed to always know a din was coming. The offense eviscerated the vikings defense. Lacy did great. Wide receivers were consistently open. On the long nelson td, Cobb looked open also.

I said the other week I had no issue with Ponder being our third string QB, because if it came down to him our season was pretty much boinked anyway. That in no way made tonight easier, Jesus gently caress. Turned it off at halftime, I regret nothing.

But for serious that was bad, Ponder looked like the same old Ponder, GB was only slowed by its own playcalling and the occasional slip on the field.

The only thing I remember from this game is the viagra commercial where that British lady tries to seduce you into taking boner pills. Good poo poo, CBS.

Are teams going to learn from guys like Ponder, EJ, Locker, and Gabbert that maybe it isn't a good idea to take a QB who didn't even dominate college competition with your first pick probably isn't the best idea? In fairness, it hasn't happened since EJ, but there were a few years there that total bums were going in the first round because teams were so obsessed with finding their FRANCHISE QUARTERBACK.

Not really. The teams that do hit the jackpot and get a franchise QB are starting miles ahead of other teams on the field, because it's a pass-happy league now. RBs aren't going in the first or even second round these days. If you have a team that desperately needs a QB, I think you have to roll the dice. Where I think they gently caress up is throwing them to the wolves right away, because usually it's a coach/GM with a short leash and shorter job prospect. Some of those guys probably would have been quality starter material with a year or two on the bench just learning/practicing.

Locker actually did have a year or two on the bench, and he still sucked. If you want to hope for a Rodgers and draft the Superstar of the Future in the second/third rounds for some bench incubation, that's fine, but blowing picks in the first is probably a bad way to go if it's not a known quantity.

This would be funny if this was somehow not obviously always true because Christian Ponder is a loving slug.

This TNF was a blowout full of mistakes but somehow still a pretty boring game. How long until Ponder gets told to pack his bags? The clear winner here is Teddy Bridgewater, because after that shitshow the Vikings and their fans sure as hell are gonna appreciate having him as their #1 QB wheez the roux posted:Brady Quinn is still on a professional football roster in the year two thousand and fourteen. What how the hell is Brady Quinn still employed? God that 2007 QB class has got to be the worst QB class this century.

No one employs Brady Quinn. He had a brief stint with Miami this offseason because we needed healthy quarterbacks to play in the preseason.

Julius Peppers is the only player in NFL history with 100+ sacks and 10+ interceptions. Last night's pick six was his tenth.

Someone take away Chris Doleman's HoF award, that slacker only got 8 interceptions to his 150.5 sacks. Joey Porter is also in the "Almost there" club with 98 sacks 12 INTs.

As bad as Christian Ponder is, let's be honest, there's not a third string quarterback in the league who would have been any better.

Teams that do this make tons of bad decisions all over the place. Not only do they start mediocre rookies too soon, but they throw them out with terrible O-lines and crappy run games and then in the postseason they think that the problem was that he lacked "weapons" and draft a WR in the first.

I think the point is more that there isn't even 32 great starting QBs in the league, it gets even thinner with backups and by the time you are looking at third stringers, the it's really more a hope and a prayer that the guy is competent if called into action. Combine that with a bad offensive situation for the Vikings (seriously, they've had to dramatically pivot their gameplan pretty much every week), a short practice week, poor field conditions and the fact that we already know that Ponder is terrible and last night isn't very surprising. And really it's the last bit that just made everything extra awful. Ponder is loving terrible and leaves no room for anyone to think "well, maybe?" when it comes to his play. If he was some unknown scrub, most people would be more forgiving but there is no place for that because Ponder isn't unknown. He is a poo poo QB with a poo poo arm, poo poo pocket presence and poo poo instincts who was bound to play like poo poo no matter what shituation that required he poo poo his way into the game. Can anyone make a clip of Nantz and Simms fighting about Teddy's pro day and NFL scouting? That was my favorite part of the game last night.
