Every "Similarity" you listed, are just the problems that bad/inexperienced QBs face, especially early in their career, again, they are NOTHING alike as players.

As to your gripes about throwing short of the down on 3rd down, I see elite QBs do this very often, when it comes to throwing it short and trying the let your WR make a play, or forcing a pass and getting it picked off, which would you choose?

So my take on this is dismissed by you by saying that there are no similarities at all :roll: Well I see a whole lot and I do not feel any need to repeat myself. Looks familar to me good and bad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BedyFzCRwk[/quote]

Cool, too bad they are nothing alike as players, in the slightest.

The similarities end at skin color.

It didn't work for either of them. But now we're suppose to believe it will for Teddy. That's what it has to do with the game we just won. At least two big missed opportunities in that game because of that lack of accuracy down field...
What happened with T-Jack and Ponder has no bearing on what will happen with Bridgewater. There have been plenty of QBs to improve their deep ball over time.

Enough with the insinuations of racism. If that keeps up this thread will be locked.

I think it should be treated as good fan/bad fan stuff and warrant warnings.

The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." ‪#‎SKOL2018

I never once insinuated any form of racism, I'm puzzled as to where you are getting good fan/bad fan talk from.

Only the truth, the two players are nothing alike on the field. But I digress, I will speak no more on the subject.

When Tarvaris Jackson was our QB, the overthrown deep ball and check down to Tahi on 3rd & 8 were staples of his game. In this game, we saw overthrown deep balls and unrealistic check downs on long 3rd downs. It's not that Teddy plays the same way that TJack does; it's the fact that the results were looking similar for a period of time early in the game.

I agree, but the comment "Dam we have another Tarvaris Jackson on our hands" implies more then just the results being similar.
