Thread: Johnny Football.

Anyone else watch him play this year? Freshman QB who reminds me of Brady when he stands in the pocket and RG3 when he runs.

If there is anything the team can do to get this guy in the draft when he comes out they should do it.

Start Joe for 16 games next year at QB.

Johnny Football is not eligible until at least 2014.

Unfortunately at that time Ponder will still be young & still learning & still have not had enough starts yet.

No kidding huh? When is enough is enough? Sick of being a fan of a franchise that just doesn't get it.

Pretty sure next year is make or break for CP. I would not be at all surprised if we use a mid round pick on a QB this year.

I was being sarcastic.

This year was supposed to be make or break for Ponder (26 starts). Now it will be next year will be make or break for Ponder (42 starts)

Wasn't it in his third year that Brees suddenly became a good QB. Unfortunately, the Chargers had already given up on him and used their 1st pick on a QB. then he blossomed. Not saying it WILL happen for CP. Just saying it could.


If it doesn't we're screwed.

It wasn't supposed to be make or break this year for CP in the teams mind. They have said repeatedly they are working in a three year plan for him. It was only considered a make or break in the minds of some on here.

The way I see it, we fix the other holes this year, most notably by adding 2 WRs with a chance of getting open deep, and bolster our defense with some depth improvements at DT, CB, and LB. Then, if Ponder fails in year three he is out of excuses and we'll have the talent to pick another QB or attract a FA QB who can succeed with the team we'll have around them.

That sounds like an excellent plan. It seems that is the direction the front office is headed also.
