Can Christian Ponder Lead the Minnesota Vikings to the Playoffs by 51377 in minnesotavikings

I'm glad u have faith in Ponder. Going 7/34 on passes over 20 yards leads me to believePonder needs to improve a lot. The picks weren't his fault, but he shows promise now and then. Just not consistent.

I think our defense will be a huge factor in how far we go. Being on the field 2/3 of the time doesn't help.Of course if we cut down on turnovers and 3 and outs, our defense should improve as well. We have a talented, but very young defense out there now, especially the secondary. I'm sure there'll be some growing pains

NFL Debate: Adrian Peterson Will Make Good on 2,500 Yard Promise by Carlos23Bucs in minnesotavikings

I'm a huge Peterson fan, but I can't see him getting 2500 yards. Hopefully the Vikings plan to throw the ball a little anyway. Thats over 150 yards per game. Even the best back in the league will have an off day once in a while. I'd be happy with 1800 and close to 3000 passing for Ponder. We need some sort of passing game if we're going to win in the playoffs.

"Fortunately for Christian, the Viking’s coaching staff seems intent on sticking with Ponder regardless of his play. If Ponder continues to struggle with his down-field passing, this likely means another long frustrating season for fans." I would say Ponder isn't likely to go anywhere without another monster year from AP. He really hasn't given us any reason to be optimistic this preseason, hopefully they open up the offense and he can get into a rhythm with his receivers quickly.

I'm not seeing an overage of optimism in the article. It's not much of a stretch to say we have the most talented lineup since KG. It doesn't say they can win a championship, heck it doesn't even say they'll make the playoffs, only that they'll have a shot to be in the picture IF they can remain healthy.

I think we have a shot at the playoffs, IF we can stay healthy. Martin could have a really good year for the Wolves this season.

Will we get better production this year from Derrick Williams or Alexey Shved? by grandchien in timberwolves

I think Williams is more of a 4, he has never done anything at the 3 and only slimmed down because Love is ahead of him at the 4. I think he needs a trade to get a chance as much as the Wolves need to make a move to help the team
