Some are calling Josh Freeman’s game against the Giants the worst quarterbacking performance in NFL history. I don’t know if I’d go that far or if I have the historical context to determine that, but it was pretty bad. He threw 33 incompletions (only 3 of which were drops) on 20 of 53 passing for 190 yards and an interception against a team that was previously one of the worst in the NFL defensively. ProFootballFocus said his performance graded out as the worst they’ve graded since they started in 2008 and it pretty much broke their grading system. It wasn’t totally his fault though. He definitely deserves a lot of the blame because his mechanics and accuracy looked awful, but he wasn’t put in a situation to succeed by the coaching staff. He had been with the team just 14 days and clearly didn’t know the playbook and understandably so. He deserves a few more starts because he has more upside than Christian Ponder or Matt Cassel, but he’s clearly regressed as a passer since this time last year so I think it’s more likely than not that the Vikings are looking for a new quarterback this off-season.
