And Check Down Charlie has had close to 20 bad games and he gets a pass. But of course "he needs more developing" "just part of the learning process" type talk spews for excuses for his bad games.

Why not use Webb as KR/wr. Was he not effective as KR the few times he did?

Yep. Getting thrown into the fire as a rookie with no training camp and the worst wide receivers in the league, with an O-line that gave little or no pass protection is no excuse. Then going into his second year with the same crappy WR's and little pass protection is no excuse either. And although he did really "stink" up the place in several games he did also play quite well in other games to include the 49ers and the second game, when playing for a play-off spot, against the Packers.
In his last game against the Packers he had a 120 QB rating and threw for three tds and no ints.. Now lets see, Webb playing with the same team against the same team a week later did what??? Yes it was a road game but come on You cant see a difference in QB play?

He's not a good passer but what he is, is fast ,has a huge vertical, and he's not small. We don't know what issues there are as fans, but this I can tell you. He was originally drafted as WR. Now why would they draft a WR who they believed to have bad hands? It was childress being retarded. Now it's kind of like "well he's been this the whole time so lets keep him there". Nah, make him train as a wideout and switch him. Even if he isn't great he'd probably be leaps and bounds over half the wide receivers we have now anyways.

You guys want a big fast receiver? You have one playing qb thats already on the roster. At 6'4 220 and runs a 4.4
Except he catches the ball about as well as he throws it.

So you are blaming Ponder's poor performance over the past 2 years on our WRs, and Spielman and Fraizer for not getting any? Thats the problem we have, not Ponder?
