| Christian Ponder has to take steps forward or this team will struggle much worse than in 2012. They have done some good things to help make it easier on him. | ||
| 03/26/2013 | 17 | 14 |
| They lose Percy Harvin -- a problem -- and add Greg Jennings and pick up a first-round pick. But it's all about Christian Ponder's growth. | ||
| 02/05/2013 | 14 | 14 |
| Adrian Peterson carried this team all season long. But he needs to get more help from the passing game. It's all about growth by Christian Ponder. | ||
| 01/02/2013 | 14 | 14 |
| What a season for Adrian Peterson. He carried them to the playoffs. But if they are to make noise in the playoffs, Christian Ponder has to play big. | ||
| 12/25/2012 | 14 | 16 |
| That was a big-time win at Houston. Now all they need to do is beat the Packers and they are in the playoffs. Impressive. | ||
| 12/18/2012 | 16 | 17 |
| Adrian Peterson is putting this team on his back and just might carry it to the playoffs. That would be impressive. | ||
| 12/11/2012 | 17 | 19 |
| Can Adrian Peterson run this team into the playoffs? It's starting to look possible. | ||
| 12/04/2012 | 19 | 17 |
| Christian Ponder just isn't getting it done. Is it time to make a change to Joe Webb? | ||
| 11/27/2012 | 17 | 15 |
| The fast start is being done in by an inability to throw the ball down the field. Christian Ponder has to do more. | ||
| 11/20/2012 | 15 | 15 |
| Coming off the bye, they are in the thick of the playoff race. They have to hope Christian Ponder's bad days are behind him. | ||
