Can this season get any more convoluted? This afternoon, it was announced that Josh Freeman is suffering from concussion symptoms from Monday night’s game and probably won’t be able to play against the Packers on Sunday night. If he can’t go, Christian Ponder will be back at quarterback for the Vikings.
Reactions have been unkind:
oh okay, sure, freeman just SUDDENLY has a concussion #riiiiiiiiiight

The conversation piece: If Ponder lights it up a la 2012 finale, when does Freeman's concussion get better? Or does it? (see: Kolb)

Freeman conspiracies run both ways: RS forced LF to start Josh OR LF stuck it to RS. Because no group can be that collectively incompetent.
