Tell me what's so great about Ponder? 14-7 TD/INT ratio, 2700 yards....Or have the standards for good QB play gotten so low in Tallahassee that you merely have to be above average to be labeled a hero?
I didn't watch enough of him to say one way or another, but as I explained earlier: His modest numbers, my lack of exposure to him, my hatred of Jimbo Fisher as an OC, and the previous failures of Nole QBs all give cause for skepticism.
He just frankly makes better throws than all of those other guys. The problem last year was really he had a shit WR corps cause most of them got suspended or kicked out because they are fucking retarded. THANKFULLY that problem has been solved this year. :tiptoe:
Also, you have to note he missed parts of the season with his shoulder injury. That put a dent in some of his numbers.
But yeah, honestly, our standards are set so low that if you A) know the playbook B) don't make stupid ass decisions C) have SOME ability to get the ball downfield and make something happen we have to think there's improvement there.
Do I think he's going to be a top 5 QB in the country? No, is he better than anything FSU has had in the past 10-15 years. Absolutely.
