Better record/Division title-by one game in a year the Packers were their worst in years and Bridgewater was 10-19 for 99 yds and pick in the title game and we still won
AP-still won the rushing title in a pass happy league
Ponders O line was terrible as well
Top 2 recievers were irrelevant due the QBs inability to throw the ball accurately more than 20 yard down the field
minimally better doesn't mean "far and away better"
stick to hockey...dipshit
BETTER IN EVERYTHING. Equal far and away better. He was better in his rookie year too.
I think we can pencil in Teddy to have better than 7 TDs and 11 Ints in his next two years too.
And of course Ponder is out of football.
cherry pick all you want. You are the dipshit. It goddamn insane you keep coming back for more punishment.
Teddy shits on Ponder. Send in some fanboy mail to the NFL on Fox crew, the NFL on CBS, Monday Night countdown, send it to Andrew fucking Luck or to whoever is punting footballs for the Cleveland goddamn Browns.
If they are collecting a paycheck in some capacity to follow or participate in football. It will be 100% the votes of Teddy over Ponder. And yes, Im allowing Christain and Sam Ponder to vote as well.
FUCKING MORON.
I like Teddy much more than I did Christian Laettner but he was far from good and it appears the coaching staff isn't too sure about him either, we brought in Wallace to be our deep threat and the guy went multiple games without a catch, the reason, they don't trust Teddy to throw the ball down the field. If he doesn't make some serious strides next year I fear the Vikes will again be looking to draft a QB in the 2017 draft...
The Vikes are a playoff team because of AD and the defense not because of Teddy...
Is it just me or does he throw like Lamar from Revenge of the nerds?
You know I wanted Carr!!!!
But for anyone to continually argue with a straight face that Ponder and Teddy are the same it just insults the entire fanbase as a whole.
I'd bring it up at the game on Sunday. But don't want to risk fellow fans misunderstanding and thinking I like ponder. Ice chunks to the face would be painful.
I honestly liked Tarvaris more than I did Ponder and you know hockey how much I liked Tarvaris! Teddy is no question better than Ponder but really that's not saying much as Ponder is one of the worst starting QB's not only in Vikings history but league history.
The Vikings have never had a QB in my lifetime I had less confidence in that Ponder and i'm old...
Ponder was a worse draft pick than Troy Williamson and Dimitrius Underwood combined!
Statistically in EVERY STAT,(cept a few like TD passes(which means nothing) and rushing yards, where Ponder has more), Bridgewater was MARGINALLY better than Ponder, based on both of their sophomore seasons, its a fact. If Ponder was one of the "worst QB's in league history" which I won't argue with, how can we honestly be certain Bridgewater is a long term FRANCHISE QB?
Well I wont argue with you, i'm just saying I watched both QB's play and I can see pretty clearly Teddy is a much better QB, and honestly if you actually watch the games you'll hear announcers say good things about Teddy, they say some bad to but they do say good things about him, I don't remember any announcer aside from homer announcers saying a kind word about Ponder, so it's not just me who sees it. Also, numbers aren't the only thing to use when determining who's better if so Emmitt Smith is the greatest running back of all time, I personally don't think he's top 10.
Also, please show me where I said Teddy was a franchise QB, if I recall I said he better make serious strides in 2016 or the Vikes will be again addressing the QB position in the 2017 draft.

*Makes all the mistakes or bails like Ponder did.
I fully admit that is one of his mistakes. In normal situation when its early I feel he doesn't want to make a mistake like throw an int. But he is by holding the ball too long. It drives me nuts. He was quoted in his rookie year that the holes to make are a lot smaller than college. He has to confidence he makes thegood pass.
Teddy's fumble vs Zona was a BAD mistake.
But that was AWFUL coaching to even be in that situation dropping back for a few more yards?
And yeah, we would have a bye!! Kick the FG and win with momentum!!
