He is just flat awful and not a franchise QB thus a waste of time $$$ and effort.

He looked like a deer in the headlights when the cameras zoomed in. He is what we saw last night. The heat is off Schiano.

The Vikings looked even worse than the Cards usually do when they play on national TV.

It almost felt good to see someone else lay an egg for once.

I'm not a huge Freeman fan by any stretch but the guy barely knew the plays it was pretty obvious if the primary receiver wasn't open he had no idea what to do because he didn't know the plays.

Some of those throws were horrible but many of them were oh crap receiver A isn't open what do I do now oh that guy is on my team.

They were talking about it on ESPN the rumor is that the coach was "ordered" to start Freeman from above(either GM or the owner) and that's why they didn't pull him when he was so clearly overmatched. Frazier was in essence saying oh no, you make me put a guy in who's not ready to play I'm not going to bail you out and pull him, he's playing the whole game.

Seems like Freeman may have been unfairly used as a pawn in a power struggle.

He did look awful I've never felt he was particularly accurate, but it was magnified last night because he just didn't know the plays.

Ya, so we have Freeman playing worse because he didn't know the plays, and Palmer playing worse because the receivers don't know where to go.

Not buying it. We've had guys off the street on more then one occasion come in and look better then that in the NFL.

He also made a slew of stupid throws, that never should have been made. He has been doing that his whole career.
