Official 2012 NFC North Passer Ratings Thread

[Pugger]

He doesn't have 1st round talent. The Vikings reached. He doesn't have a big arm and he's not that accurate. He has mobility. Basically, he's the white Mark Sanchez with a bit more mobility.

Big time.

Pretty much dead on. Ponder also simply can't read the field. He misses seeing open WRs rather often. I remember when the Vikes said he was the most NFL ready QB of that draft. I giggled at their stupidity.

Wasn't Ponder the one who was said to be a fanatic for watching film on top of just being a very intelligent guy? You would think that would lead to advanced "NFL readiness".

I've always equated him to Pennington. Not a big arm, but accurate. He seems now to have the yips. Breaks for a run a little too often and doesnt read progressions well. All of those things can come with time. He's at 22 career starts and all of his numbers are up from last year. He's just getting hit more this season.
