Why not give Webb a shot?

I'd like to see Webb play just so I don't have to hear about him any more. Let him go out there and get kicked around a little so we can be done with it.

Webb is not the QB of the future, playing him does nothing more than shut up some of the fan base.

I'm having flashbacks to Todd Bouman.

All of the below commentary excludes Percy. he is legit.

Lets see, they drafted the freakishly athletic Webb to be a WR and we are a team in desperate need of a WR, so the logical move is to keep him rotting on the bench. Nice. Leslie Frazier should be fired for that all by itself.

Meanwhile the Patriots, who have way better WRs than us are out signing WRs to see if there is anything left in the tank with them. But hey, lets just ride Simpson and Jenkins!

Our WR situation is pathetic. A Bears castoff? Really a BEARS CASTOFF? I dont know why they arent taking more heat on this issue. Put it in this perspective, relatively speaking, the Twins starting picthing is better than our WRs.

Now that ya got me all worked up, the Bears gave up a 3rd this year and a 3rd next for Brandon Marshall. We wasted 2 4th rounders on WRs and have basically nothing to show for it (unless you think Jarius Wright is going to develop into Percy...I dont). Someone deserves to lose their job over our WR situation.

the rest of this season really is more auditioning and gaining experience for ponder. seems to make sense that this team isn't going to be around come playoff time so makes sense to give him the rest of the year to see if there is any chance he can be the guy they want back there or not.

downside of that is it wasn't too long ago that tjunk did well enough during the end of a season to where people thought he could be the guy as well so definitely pros and cons here but think they do have to give the guy a fair shake. are his numbers any worse than that hall of famer's last year here a couple years ago who the team was paying huge money for? qb is only one of several problems with this team right now.

This.

Playing Webb isn't going to get this team anywhere.

Half-time of the Green Bay game is when Webb should have came in...it was a winnable game and Ponder was, well, being Ponder.

Now, you have to stick with Ponder IMO...it's sink or swim time for him. DO NOT LET HIM OFF EASY by benching him if he struggles. I'd rather lose a few games down the stretch and absolutely know 100% that I've seen all I need to about our QB.

Ponder IS their guy... PERIOD! Even if we would have had the #2 pick in the draft last season, they had their QB and would have take Kalil, regardless (so, quit with the "what if's and the Washington game last year... it wouldn't have mattered!).

Zep is right on! Last week was their chance to pull Ponder and give Webb a shot. Now, if we have another game similiar to last week, I say you still give Ponder the hook and I think they will.

Either way, the Vikes need to roll with Ponder the rest of the way, good or bad and in the end, make their call on the future.

My prediction... Ponder will do just enough to give the coaches and fan base a little hope for the future and we roll with him next year. If that is the case, we need to bring in a solid back-up and give Ponder a short leash.

Well if Ponder IS their man at QB, then they need to spend some serious money and bring in some quality talent at WR. Got to assume Percy will be gone by next season, so that means there isn't one WR on the roster that is worth the price of thread to sew their name on their jersey. Vikings have proven that their ability to draft WR's sucks, so they will have to go out and spend the money on wide outs.

Webb was drafted to play reciever.......put him out there and lets see what he gots.

UMMMM..... we already have and he's UN-arguably proven to everbody who's watching that he's not even remotley close to being a NFL QB.

That being said, I sure wish we would have put him in last week in order to salvage the season and a playoff possibility.

He could have made a run or two that could have changed the game.

And this season does prove, that although very rare when it comes to Viking football, that LMIT was right about winning those meaningless games at the end of last year was insane and it ended up costing us a Premier ALL Pro QB for the next 10 years....

I agree! Never understood why the Vikes have this super-freak athelete in Webb just sitting on the bench. He should be on the field for a handfull of snaps a game and givin an opportunity at multiple positions.

+1. I just don't understand why they can't get him on the field...especially in red-zone/goal-line situations.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
