Video courtesy Chris Mortensen's Twitter. The advice here really shows Ponder's growth as a quarterback because it was only 18 months ago that he took a very large final step in his drop, drawing criticism as he appeared to deliver passes from a "ninja crouch".

No more of that
Sheesh its crazy remembering how much doubt a lot of us (I admit I was very skeptical) had in all the talk of progression. But Christian has come a long long way
Remember the "innate have it/ doesn't have it" group v. the "expectation of protection comes from trust which comes from successful experiences" groups?
Ponder lacks arm strength? Think again.

YES!
It was the pocket presence argument right? They felt like he didn’t have it in 08 and therefore would never have it
Right.
There were 2 crowds.
One that pocket presence was some innate quality some had and some did not.
The other was that you have to have an expectation of protection. You read the defense and reach to the rush if it breaks down, not the reverse. This crowd argued that you develop the expectation of regular protection only if you’ve seen your oline offer that protection (which the OLine did NOT offer in Spring ball before ’08 or in 2008 season).
Spring 2009 rolls around, Ponder sees the OLine give protection, develops confidence to where he expects protection and adjusts to breakdowns, as opposed to expecting breakdowns.
Ponder lacks arm strength? Think again.

Put me in the second camp-
The media can never figure out why some quarterbacks (and RB) go up and down. If you can’t depend on your blocking over the course of a game you can’t have a pocket presence. (Insert comment re: Rix rolling out of the pocket unnecessarily)

That VT number should be really disconcerting for their fans
I thought they ran and passed the ball very well last year.
FSU Defense 2010: Taking back 1st down.
They did. They were great in spite of it because Tyrod took so many sacks

More Importantly
We use to have a freaking NINJA on our team? Why did we get rid of it?
NCAA ruling
The ninja crouch was creating a “hostile or abusive environment” in Japanese-American culture
I know you can fight. But it's our wits that make us men.
No
He’s just a beautiful man, and a helluva quarterback…who DOESN’T have a man crush on Ponder?
My Fiance
Its just a normal crush though. We both go to FSU and she called me once and said all giggly the CP7 opened the door for her on her way to class! Of course, around me she has never opened a door in her life, but I’m kinda old school like that, but it seems you can tell a lot about people from their everyday life interactions

Sorry to be off topic...
but I tend to visit the Alligator Army page once in a while to see what trash is being hurled around. I have to say much of their articles are half truths. For example, they are already trash talking the USF/UF game because USF fans have poor artist qualities. Bunch of D-Bags.
Oh yeah, CP7 is the shizzznit.
Dude, why bother
Every Gate I know tells me Ponder will be lucky to go in the second round and that someday Brantley will go higher than him.
Shot a Gator in Jean Shorts just to watch him die.
Payton Manning's
first football camp was organized a bit differently.

I have never seen that before! My image of Peyton is ruined forever.

HA!
One of the best skits ever. And JABNole, you’re right, it never gets old.

Not as good, but hilarious also
Manning calls signals in ancient language
One thing to love about Peyton is how he is so willing to poke fun at himself.

Christ Mortensen
said this in one of his tweets: Ponder struggled in pre-skills competition when all threw to WRs on passing tree routes – he’s a little rusty after that shoulder surgery
Rut-roh.
Where's Dan Kendra when you need him?
if it is just rust
he’s got time to shake it off.
