Around SBN: The Most Dangerous Division in Sports

Noticed this on SI (Banks). Here's an excerpt:

"With McNabb in house, who knows how long it'll take for the Vikings to fully launch their Christian Ponder era, but the rookie quarterback from Florida State has made a favorable early impression on almost everyone around here. He certainly looks, acts and sounds like a franchise quarterback, and Frazier told me he believes having those traits is an important component of the leadership half of the job. Now if the kid can play, the Vikings will really have something special on their hands. It's too early to know that at the NFL level, but people who have watched him in Minnesota so far say Ponder 'gets it,' and will do the work necessary to give himself the best possible chance to succeed."

Ponder will be a better pro QB then college QB

All that time Ponder spent on his academic pursuits will go toward football. His extreme accuracy will elevate his game at the pro level. Where Wrs are expected to run the right route.

As long as he learns to slide!!

He can’t take the same chances he took in college.

But I think he knows not to EVER go head and shoulder first in the NFL…

If Ponder gets the deep ball down he’ll be alright

Team work make the dream work

Supposedly his first pass in no-pads practice was a deep ball completion to some 4th-string (or lower) receiver.
