is just not an above average college qb. While he does one thing very well (avoiding interceptions—a skill with questionable staying power, given his first 2 years), his negatives are enormous. He is immobile. Drew is possibly unwilling and definitely unable to make anything resembling a difficult throw. The complete and utter lack of arm strength is obvious to any advanced observer.

Fear not, however, FSU can win with Drew. With a defense that may be dominant, all FSU needs is a consistent, mature, and conservative effort from Drew. If Drew does what he did last year, and by that I mean keeping a very low turnover rate, FSU can win 9 of 12 games.

Unfortunately, Drew’s ceiling is probably 9 wins. Ponder’s ceiling is something closer to 11 regular season games. Since we aren’t winning the MNC this year, why not let the guy with the better skills and better intelligence (Ponder is universally accepted to have a better arm, better wheels, and a better brain, with his 60 college credits coming out of high school.)

Finally, Drew’s 4 years of starting are irrelevant. Remember that Drew and Christian have an equal amount of time under Jimbo’s system. Years spent under the JB system are irrelevant and possibly detrimental.

FSU punted 76 times last year. No matter how you slice it, that is pathetic. No BCS championship team has ever had more than 50 punts in a season. A punt represents a failed drive, and really represents Drew’s career at FSU.

I dont like Drew at all but could be be better if there was a line, if there was a back that could run north and south not east and west. What happened at FSU what happened to the school where all Qb’s wanted to go to no one wants to go. Someone please fire Drew give Ponders a chance and let EJ brake out next year under Jimbo. Whatever happens Drew can talk the talk but we have given him 3 yr and he cant walk the walk. I dont want another year like the last 2 but with him thats whats going to happen. No one will think the ACC is a strong place for football tell FSU is back on top.
