Mel Kiper Says FSU QB Christian Ponder Is "A Poor Man's Chad Pennington"

NFL draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. fielded an hour and a half worth of questions during an ESPN conference call Wednesday afternoon and included thoughts about some of the top draft prospects in the state of Florida. On Florida State quarterback Christian Ponder: "Christian Ponder, average arm, super smart, he was was the only player from an FBS school that already earned his MBA going into his senior year this past season. Accuracy is good. I thought he was somewhat of a poor man’s Chad Pennington going into the year. I think his stock has slipped a bit, you know he had the injury this year he had to try to work through. I thought he was maybe a second round pick early in the year if he would have had a real good season. I think third to fifth round for him."

Kiper's opinion isn't worth much to me, seems like every year he's almost negligently wrong about someone.

 

ummmmm no

pennington has a weak arm and great accuracy and is slow as heck

ponder has a decent arm, questionable accuracy, and has some serious wheels on him

 

yup

 

i wish i could rep Mel Kiper right now

 

Such an butt clown. Dude is the epitome of a used car salesman. He must use those salesman tactics to convince ESPN bigwigs to keep him employed year after year of poor grading and bad predictions.

 

Im seriously tired of people being paid to get on TV and be totally wrong, this comparison couldnt be more wrong.

I would take Kiper over McShay any day of the week.
