I know Christian Ponder looks the part....but was he that guy who freaked out drunk outside of a frat party buck naked and claimed himself to be Jesus Christ???

If it was, that should be the biggest red flag ever.

lmao no that was years ago. as a Fsu fan, that was the funniest thing ever. I believe the kids name was wyatt sexton.

Yea but i don't think weinke's arm was a good as ponders. plus the fact he had zero upside due to the fact he was almost 30 when we drafted him.

Totally disagree. Weinke was known to throw a deep ball with great touch. Given he was 27 and had played pro baseball, he should have had greater poise than Ponder and been more pro ready. It just underlines how hard it is to judge who is going to succeed and who won't.

I can understand that. Not much you can compare of the two. Other than being old,i just can't find a single reason why weinke failed...........

Yeah it couldn't have been him. Must be due to something else. I wonder if the same logic applies to Luck this year.

Depends on who you are comparing Luck to.

There is no doubt that Weinke was on a better team. When you have better talent around you, and better coaching, you can look better. That MIGHT be why he looked better than Ponder. Then again, it MIGHT not be. We will find out if Ponder is indeed a better QB than Weinke was.

    • You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
