We will get the #1 overall pick next season because we suck balls. And then we will pass on Luck, who is by far better than any crappy QB in this draft.

#FREEAP

Ugh.

We got an injury prone noodle arm QB. If we're *lucky* he'll be the next Chad Pennington. Sigh. Why didn't we take Prince? Cedric Griffin is forever injured, Antoine Winfield is old and slow and gets burnt every other play and would be better off at safety, and Chris Cook blows. WTF

They said on TV he "could be like Chad Pennington."

OMG we just drafted someone that could maybe possibly perhaps be the next Chad effing Pennington. FML.

We could have taken Prince and gotten Ponder or whomever else in the second round. Or traded for McNabb. Or anything except take Ponder at #12. I'm not even pissed... just disgusted beyond belief.

You don't want Ponder to be like the best QB Randy Moss ever played with?

Um is this a refrence to Culpepper?

or the Vikings fail giving the pats a 3rd (which may have been helpful getting Gabbert just saying).

I'm far more impressed with the Falcons on a balls perspective 5picks for Jones.
Saints learned from us, they chose to move up like 2 spots to get Ingram EDIT: sorry they got the pats pick but gave up their first next year and 2nd this, that's taking a chance.

I'm fine with building around a qb you trust in, I'm not fine with ditching good talent for pretty much no reason whatsoever.

pants thinks Chad Pennington is the best QB Moss ever played with. Better than 3 time Super Bowl winner, 2 time MVP, top 10 all time QB Tom Brady. Also better than pre-injury Culpepper who would have won an MVP if Peyton didn't throw 48 tds that year. Randall Cunningham 34 TD passes in Moss rookie season. Chad Pennington's career high is 22. Pennington had a few better individual seasons, but Brad Johnson had a better career. Hell even Matt Cassell is better than Pennington. Fail comment.

Randy Moss famously said Chad Pennington was the best QB he ever played with while he was on the Vikings. This was long after he'd been playing with Daunte and clearly meant to tweek him.

Oh lol I wish you would have posted that about 2 minutes ago before I went through every Qb that is better than Pennington. Yea Moss and Culpepper hated each other like McNabb and TO hate each other.

I thought it was a more commonly known remark that it apparently was. The fact that Pennington is/was so underwhelming is what makes it so great.

Two words with this pick...Troy Williamson.

The Leslie Frazier era didn't even begin yet and it is already the beginning of the end for him with this pick.

Didn't they learn from the last coach that you don't gamble and tie yourself to a weak QB like that? It will take you down.

OMG this is going to end horribly:

He's got a bad injury history and he's coming to our team? Doomed. Oh, and he was invited to the draft in New York City, but he said that he didn't go to it because he didn't think any teams would pick him in the first round. Goddamnit Vikings. You SUCK.

Here's what we got for the #12 overall pick. And there is a QB at least as good, if not better still on the board. Such failure.
