I thought he looked pretty good, especially for his first start. However, I'll have to see him perform like that for several more games after teams have a few regular season game tapes on him to say much about his short term outlook. His tendencies will become more apparent to defensive coordinators throughout the rest of the season. Perhaps he'll continue his level of play, who knows. I'm sure it's encouraging to Vikings fans either way.

I was impressed with Ponder. Maybe in a couple years the media will make a big deal out of Ponder/Rodgers match-ups like they do Brady/Manning ones. Of course the Packer fan in me hopes none of this comes to fruition and the Vikings remain a cellar-dweller. 😛

That first play was brilliant. The Vikings immediately caught the Packers underestimating Ponder. Tramon Williams admitted afterwards that he was itching to get that first interception against the rookie, and as a result of his overeagerness, he got burned. The play was eerily reminiscent of two plays by the Packer offense the week before. The rollout to the left was very similar to Rodgers' rollout to the left on the TD pass to James Jones, and the double move by the receiver was similar to the one by Jordy Nelson that went for a 93 yard TD. It got the same result too, with Tramon playing the part of Al Harris (who was overeager for reasons of his own) and the safety (Peprah) being too late getting over to contain the receiver after the catch.

Overall, I thought Ponder looked pretty good. I was surprised afterwards by his poor completion percentage, because I didn't remember him throwing so many passes off target. He must've had a lot of throwaways. His arm strength looked decent but not great. He hung in there and kept his poise even after the two picks by Woodson. He's the most promising young QB the Vikings have had in quite awhile, which isn't saying much, but he does look like he has a chance to be pretty good.

With that rag tag O-line in front of him, I think he has more of a David Carr type future in front of him than anything. Hopefully the Vikings are stupid enough to keep winning enough games to keep them out of the elite talent pool of the draft.
