Not the same as not being able to read a defense, I just don't think he is able to process what he is seeing very quickly, so misses the down field play and goes for short dinks, because that's all he sees. I could be wrong, but he just seems to get antsy very quickly back there.
That's a fair assessment.

LOL! Man, that was a heck of a TD run. Peterson's effort is off the charts at times.

It is clear that nobody has any confidence in Ponder. Not the coaches, not the players, not even Ponder. That's good news. I don't care if he throws for 400 yards and 5 TDs tonight, he needs to head back to the bench as soon as Freeman recovers from his pretend concussion and never be heard from again.

As bad as this Defense is we still need to get QB straightened out. You can be a good team with a bad defense but you can't be a good team with a terrible QB.

You know Peterson was thinking "whaaaaaaa?" when he got the playcall in the huddle... "I gotta score a TD all by myself with this chickens**t call".

Frazier just can't function as a head coach, Ponder stays in.
A successful coach needs a patient wife, loyal dog, and great quarterback - and not necessarily in that order.

Fraizer is an utter idiot if he does have the power to pull Ponder and doesn't. I mean more so then I already know he is.

At least Josh Freeman stands in the pocket. He just cannot complete a throw to save his life! :lol:

It must suck having to tackle AD. He just hammers anybody who gets in his way once he gets a head of steam. I wonder what those DBs are thinking when they see him get past the line???

we need to sign a bunch of NBA centers to play WR if Freeman is going to be our QB.
