Freeman's stock rising

[The Anti-Java]

No doubt his stock is rising, but can he keep it going?  That is the million dollar question.  He has had some nice games in a row now, I will be looking for consistancy going forward.  Not sold on him 100% just yet, but he is defitnitly trending up, at least in my book.

I don't think he can or will keep it going. I mean he has been playing very well lately but another finishing the season like he's been playing recently would make him one of the 4 or 5 best QBs in the league. I'm a Freeman fan but my hope is he'll end up in the 10-12 range this year.

I don't think anyone expects him to keep throwing for 300+ yards and 3 TDs every game....at least I hope people don't. He doesn't have too though. As long as he plays smart, limits the turn overs and has a BIG game every so often....everyone should be pleased.

The thing is fans like to compare their QB to the top 5 or even top 3 QBs and then get mad when they don't measure up. Not every team can have Brady, Manning, Rodgers, or Brees. Those guys are some of the best QBs ALL TIME. They are in a small group of guys like Elway, Favre, Marino, and Montana. Fans need to be realistic. Just because your QB doesn't throw for 5000 yards and 40 TDs each year, doesn't mean he sucks.

This week will be interesting, I assume the Vikes will try to eliminate the deep ball.  So we will have to see how Freeman does with the intermediate stuff.  Not exactly his strong point.

We will see how effective they are at eliminating the deep ball.

Not hard to do. But if they do, that opens up something else, like the run or short stuff.  Its up to Freeman/Sullivan to take advantage.

I want to see him keep up his torrid pace!  Gotta stay consistent...

Agree. It's also really hard to get an Elite QB. You pretty much have to luck your way or lose a lot to get a solid draft choice. Even then it's no guarantee that your high draft QB is gonna be an elite guy. Or I guess you can trade for one. Good luck with that.

I will probably catch some fire for this but I think he needs to be extended. I have been a supporter since before his draft. I know he has had some bumps. Freeman is still very young, and has a decent body of work. Imagine where he could be five years from now, with some consistency.

He's under contract this year and next. I'm probably the biggest Freeman supporter around, but there is no reason to rush into an extension. He needs to show this season and next that he can be consistently good. Dom and his agent can start negotiating mid way thru next season if he earns it.

If he can finish the year anything like the last 3, he will get the extension. No doubt.  He would have to really crash and burn at this point, to NOT get extended.

I dont think they wait that long J man.

 I think they get it done after the season, this season.

If he was to light it up the rest of the season, and they don't extend him, he could say F-you in 2013 and reach the free agent market.

Ceiling is too high for #5, IMO.

[JDouble]

AJ....yeah if he dontinues to light it up and has a great season then it's probably time after this season. I guess I just don't expect that. He has had a few good games but this is still a new complicated system very similar to the one Eli Manning is in, and it took Eli like 3 or 4 years to get really good in it. Besides that, there are so many new coaches and players...I just think Freeman will still have some ugly games this season. It's a process and I expect more growing pains.

No doubt there will still be some rough games, I think Josh is on his way.
