wouldnt mind veteran david garrard coming in to push ponder when he heals up too 100%.

No thanks and wont happen. If they wanted a veteran they would've just kept Sage.

They need to make sure there's absolutely no competition for Ponder. As it showed when he lost his confidence last year, can't have anyone on the roster that might make him look over his shoulder.

competition is healthy. if ponder goes down we are finished. not that vikings will be competitive anyways. havent seen that much improvement by ponder in preseason.

I agree that the Vikes will have some significant obstacles to overcome if Ponder goes down (but only a few NFL teams wouldn't if their starting QB went down.) I strongly disagree with the latter part of your statement, though. I thought Ponder showed significant improvement in the pre-season. Whether or not that translates into success when the games count remains to be seen....
