I'm excited. He'll finally get to be on the field occasionally. Also I'm glad they made up their minds now so he has a little time to actually learn the position at the NFL level before they throw him to the wolves.

Hope he can handle the bounce pass.

It's about time. Hopefully he shows some promise and gets the hell out of town. I'm glad everybody finally came to the conclusion that this is what is best for Joe's career if he wants to be anything other than a career backup.

He'll probably be running the Reggie Bush routes anyway, and I'm sure Matt Cassel will be able to get the ball there after he beats out Ponder for the starting job.

Not everybody likes Joe...

The Vikings will get what they deserve.

Would love to see him go somewhere else.

Look at the starting QB's since 2005, draw your own conclusions.

I'm just glad they finally made a damn decision. Joe's only got so many years of football in him, and those idiots have squandered enough.

This fan said it best:

Quote:The ONLY reason why we are keeping him is so nobody (Pats...Hawks...) can pick him up and figure out a way to use him. We want to run his stock all the way into the ground, so nobody gives him a second look.

Joe's senior year he had a one handed touchdown snag (I might be exaggerating but thats the way I remember it). Does anyone have a picture or video of that play. I have spent a lot of time looking for it. I always want to post it when someone says he can't catch. He also had a great catch at FSU in his earlier years. I can't find that either.

I have video where he made the San Francisco defense look silly as well as the Philadelphia Eagles.

One game Joe Webb ran for a TD, caught a TD, and threw a TD pass before halftime.

Joe Webb!

I thought he made a one-handed touchdown catch against Florida State his sophomore year.

I think you are right. The one handed grab I was talking about was at FSU. I think he went up and over someone his senior year. It was still a great catch, and I would love to show the highlight to his critics.

I'm down with this... hopefully Joe is cool with it! Just get him o the FIELD, y'all!

You will see the Webb catch in this video.
