When he's only throwing it 2-5 yards in the air, that's not entirely impressive.

If you never throw it farther than 5 yards, that isn't that impressive. Ponder has scrambled a few times in this game. Luck steps up or out and makes a throw. Ponder tucks it and gets small or no gain.

Defense really looks sad today--especially the non-existent pass rush and always suspect secondary.

On offense, Sullivan and Johnson are letting too much penetration and our lack of a down field threat seems more of a glaring weakness today.

We moved the ball fine/, so hope is not entirely lost. Won't hold my breath for another comeback though.

I wonder if the Ponder project will last as long as the Tjoke project lasted. They are both so similar. Some good, some bad, but mostly bad!

He's getting pressure, but Luck is just rolling away from it consistently.

Not sure what is happening to Robison on the other side that is allowing Luck to so easily slide over to that side. Robison, or whoever is over there, has to do a better job of forcing Luck up into the middle.

We're actually doing pretty decent at getting pressure. Luck is making plays and our secondary with their soft coverage isn't doing anything.

To be fair he was responding to a poster who was saying his passes were off the mark (my paraphrase). I don't think he was advocating Ponder for MVP, I think he was just pointing out that Ponder only had 2 incomplete passes (which makes sense if he's only throwing around 5 yards).
