He gets so many things wrong, and tells us the same thing 8 times. It's hard to listen to.

Vintage Ponder tonight.

It wouldn't be hard to make a solid case for cutting Ponder before the season starts. He just brings nothing to the table. The Vikings would be better off developing a street FA as a 3rd QB.

Can't blame Ponder for overthrowing 5-9 McKinnon there, he's used to throwing that pass to 6-6 Rudolph lol.

Oh, c'mon. I've given Ponder a hard time, too, but he's a damn good 3rd string QB. (Not exactly high praise, I know).

It's preseason, don't be so hard on him xD. I'm just getting annoyed of him describing every play like the rest of us are blind.

Prater is building off of last year and making a case for himself! Between Thielen and Prater, Sherels better really show up.
