Vikings blogger to fans: Ponder and Cassel suck, but don't panic
http://thevikingage.com/2013/07/29/c...gling-in-camp/

Quote:
What is going on with the Vikings’ quarterbacks so far in Mankato? Well I’m glad you asked. By most accounts the top 2 QBs, Christian Ponder and Matt Cassel…let’s just say they aren’t doing so hot. At least according to the reporters covering camp.

What specifically is going wrong with Ponder? Accuracy issues seem to be plaguing him so far. Ponder looks especially bad on his deep balls according to observers. Those pesky mechanical issues seem to be cropping up again for the #1 QB.

Luckily for Ponder, the backup Matt Cassel isn’t doing much better. We know Cassel has had problems turning the ball over in recent years. If his experience thus far at Mankato is any indication, that is still going to be a problem. He is getting picked off on a regular basis.

But here’s the bright side for everyone to focus on. IT’S ONLY FREAKING CAMP. It doesn’t really matter right now if Christian Ponder looks terrible throwing the deep ball or if Matt Cassel is overthrowing receivers and getting picked. There’s a reason you have camp. It’s to smooth those things out before the real games start.

People are naturally going to zero in on these accounts of the quarterbacks’ struggles and use them to reinforce their own pre-existing positions. Those who hate Ponder will hold up his tough couple days at camp as more evidence that he is not the man. And those who support Ponder will simply point out that Cassel hasn’t looked much better. Each side will be equally dopey.

But aren’t I forgetting someone? What about McLeod Bethel-Thompson? Maybe HE’S the answer at quarterback. Hey, you can always find someone to latch onto in camp. MBT has a big arm. He’s always going to look good in non-contact drills. Let’s at least put the pads on before we make up our minds to elevate the #3 QB to the starter position?

Bottom line here: It’s the first weekend of practice. I don’t need to tell everyone it’s way too early to panic. Let’s not bash Ponder on the basis of a couple bad practice sessions. Let’s wait until the season starts THEN bash him. That’s how you do it.
Sorry Vikes. It's time to panic.

Four years ago the Patriot Way assimilated me into their collective. I had their shitty players planted throughout my favorite football team. I was linked to Pioli's hive mind. Every trace of individuality erased. I was one of them.

So you can imagine, my dear, I have a somewhat unique perspective on the Patriot Way. I know how to fight them.

Now if you would excuse me, I have work to do.

Nor did I. Looking back, him inking that ridiculous contract was probably the death knell of Baby Lee Passionate Fan, and the phoenix rising of Baby Lee Resigned Masochist.

Conversely, the knowledge that he was gone from KC for good marked the spark of optimism I endeavor daily to nurture and maintain.

Nothing against him as a person or with his work ethic, loathed to the pits of my soul what he provided in performance and potential for the Chiefs.

I HATE the Chiefs QB situation with Smiff at #1 and Daniel #2. Ponder #1 and Cassel #2...haha I can't even imagine the frustration. And I heard something about despised by Iowans, Iowa QB, James Vandenberg being in the mix somewhere fighting for the #3 spot? LOL....wow.

No shit. We are in tremendous shape compared to last year. One more big super cheer for Clark throwing Matt and Scott out on their asses.
