Ponder is not even better than Webb. So, its not out of the realm of possibility to see them go QB. Hell..why would guys draft Newton when you just drafted Clausen the year before..BECAUSE NEWTON WAS BETTER. I also wouldn't be surprised if Jacksonville makes a move up to get RG3 after watching Gabbert attempt to play QB last season.

Clausen was completely inept and everyone who watched his performances week in and week out knew that we desperately needed an upgrade and we got it in a BIG way. As pointed out by rayzor, Ponder showed promise for what he had to work with and given the circumstances. He's getting AP back and that should help him come along just fine. He's a cerebral QB and gifted athletically, get him a formidable WR option and a young-stud TE and you're going to see him progress this season.

No we drafted Cam because Jimmy was awful not because Cam was better. Anybody could have been better than Jimmy. Ponder's solid.

    • I took a look at 1990 to 2025(so far). It's an interesting look. In my eyes, I don't think there is a huge difference in the rushing output or attempts over that span. The maximum difference in the attempted rushes over that massive of a span of time was only 2.4 attempts/game. Attempts/game has been rising for the past few years but that isn't the biggest difference, it's the efficiency of those runs that is actually at historic highs over that timespan. Look at YPA averages. The same general thing happened a few years ago with the passing game. Although the range of attempted passes per game is significantly higher in this timespan(5.8 attempts/GM), it's also the efficiency of these passes that has gone up considerably over that era(but peaked a few years ago).  I don't think we are reverting to a "previous era" of offense in terms of the rushing attempts vs. passing attempts. I say that because with all the rule changes, it's sort of impossible for that to happen. What you are seeing is more likely an adjustment to the defensive changes that came about to stop the explosive passing offenses that had developed. These changes haven't led to an inordinate amount of rushing versus passing(although that ratio has dropped) but it HAS led to much more explosive rushing output as evidenced by YPA ticking up since 2018.
