He's also not a WR, because he can't catch. He's an athlete. There are lots of unemployed athletes out there who can't catch on with an NFL team. There's a reason all those NFL scouts and draft personnel passed on him until the Vikings took him late in the 6th round. He's not very good. He’s not a QB — that’s clear.

They've made it perfectly clear. However bad he is at QB, he's worse at WR. Doesn't matter how well he runs with the ball if he can't be counted on to catch it first. He's at QB because there's no other good place to use him. He's a great athlete without a natural position. College QB is so run-oriented with most teams, they'd need to change their offense to fit his skills, and that's not going to happen.

Matt Kalil will be a perennial Pro Bowler, John Sullivan is the best center in the NFL according to Pro Football Focus, a group that studies the film of every individual play from every lineman in the league, and who is cited regularly by ESPN and other outlets. Fusco is young and improving, Johnson played much better at guard, and Loadholt is a solid RT who gets flagged for too many penalties, but who also is a great run blocker. There's a reason Ponder's sacks are way down this year and Peterson is on the verge of breaking the single season rushing mark. To criticize the offensive line is so bogus, I almost think you're joking. Mandie — go watch some figure skating.
