Starting to like Ponder more and more


In a recent Yahoo Sports article written by Doug Farrar, it had the following to say about our quarterback of the future, Christian Ponder:

“Ponder has his work cut out for him in the NFL – he’s in a brutal NFC North division with elite pass rushers everywhere, and Minnesota’s offensive line is questionable to the point where people wonder if he’s going to be healthy enough to deal with the grind. However, based on the tape alone, there’s no question that Ponder projects well as a future franchise quarterback if he can stay healthy – tough, smart, resilient, and able to get things done against the odds. Enough quarterbacks have proven through time that these attributes are far more important than the ability to throw a football through a brick wall.”


Well let’s hope Mr. Farrar is right, because he has gotten me, and I am sure just about every Vikings fan excited, about Ponder and the potential he has to be a franchise quarterback for the Vikings.
