God we are some condescending fucks sometimes. But yeah, this is the Vikings we are talking about.

He was only a few bad passes to winning another game or two. I know this is a hypothetical, but that doesn't dispute that Ponder may be closer to being an effective passer than you, or the rest of you rubes, think.



I agree. Defense will be the bane of this year's team, despite the young additions added. Winfield, even in his slow age, was very effective. I saw someone bring up some interesting facts that showed how ineffective the defense was without him in the line up versus how effective it was with him in the line up. The results I remember were pretty staggering. I think they only used the past 3 seasons as a base (as to not skew the stats too much with a younger version of Winfield.

I have no idea if Rhodes or Floyd will be big time players (if I had to guess, Floyd will be the future Pro Bowler), but I do think they'll be at least serviceable contributors this year.
