Careful Seminole Fans

First I would like to congratulate Christian Ponder on his promotion to starting QB. He has worked very hard and he deserves it. I would be lying if I said I wasn't surprised by this pick. I think though the more I look back on it the more it makes sense.

DVO is more of a play maker, however he is also more erratic. Remember I said DVO needed to show 3 things in order to be the starter? Well he had a hard time showing number 1(Be consistent).

At first glance DW would have been the obvious starting for the first couple of games because of his experience. However if a coach is going to change a losing philosophy into a winning philosophy; are you going to be successful without being bold?

Ponder is a very bold pick. Mostly because of the risks that are attached to the pick. What if Ponder plays terrible on Saturday? DVO comes in and plays well. Do you start DVO the next week? DVO play bad in that game, does DW come in at that point? Or do you put Ponder back out there? And thus we are back to the musical QB once again.

Just keep in mind all three of these guys were on the same level skill wise not too long ago. Ponder was picked because Jimbo wanted a radical change in philosophy within the team. This is without taking anything away from Ponder. Ponder brings a lot to the table. If anything he is a mix between DW and DVO.

At the end of the day we will have to wait and see how things work out, but let's hope this doesn't lead to a musical QB. A tune we have heard too often here and quit frankly are sick and tired of hearing.
