no we will put 9 in the box and make Ponder beat us.

Which, he could be capable.

This is what I'm afraid of, Kid looked pretty good and he seems to have a good rapport with Shiancoe...not to mention, every team has put 8 or 9 in the box every week against Min and he still gets over 100 sometimes close to 200...I dare say that our run D has looked just as bad, if not worse, than any other team I've watched all year.

eh....he was 13 for 32 passing. That's not very good.

I'd rather give up 300 rushing yards to a stud like Adrian Peterson than 300 passing yards to rookie Christian Ponder. At least we could say we got beat by the best RB in football and chalk it up to that than the much larger "we got torn up by a rookie" discussion.

    • First, am I wrong? I looked back over all his posts here and I didn't see anything positive other than Shough. Second, pretty sure if you had read the post I was responding to, you would have seen CRA made poo personal as well . You just choose to address me instead of him. Not sure why?????
    • I wanted XL but I felt he should have been a 2nd rounder but I understand the logic trading up just to get the option. A safety net for your gamble.    Certainly disappointed with his receivers development but i like his down field blocking and I imagine that's what's keeping him on the field. 
    • Pretty sure it is a given Young lacks typical QB size and strength and he is here simply because his other attributes more than make up for it. My point is not to indicate anyone "settled" for him but rather to remind people that there have been plenty of big, strong QB's that have not lived up to expectations. Jamis Winston, Anthony Richardson, Trey Lance, JaMarcus Russel are a few examples. They all have the physical attributes coveted by teams and yet none have had sustained success in the NFL. And yes, there are QBs that do have both but there aren't many and some of the ones still playing were failures with their early teams. Saying Young is a bust simply based upon his size (and I do think it is as simple as that for a few guys around here) is unfair to both him and the team.
