GM Rick Spielman gives Christian Ponder "just as much credit for getting us in the playoffs" as Adrian Peterson.
Spielman was referring specifically to Ponder's play when the Vikings won their final four games of the regular season. During that time, he completed 60.6 percent of his passes and threw just one interception, but averaged a mere 157.5 yards per game and totaled four passing scores. These comments are another case of Spielman trying to pump up Ponder's confidence. He's ready to ride or die with his 2011 No. 12 overall pick.

Vikings RE Jared Allen says Christian Ponder has to be "THE guy" this season.
"Adrian (Peterson) can carry this team so far; our defense can carry this team so far," Allen said. "You know, you look at teams that historically win championships, and they have consistent play from the quarterback position. I thought the last four games of the year (Ponder) did a great job. You should kind of have things down in your third year." Ponder is entering his third season out of Florida State, and he's averaged a pitiful 6.2 YPA on 774 passes.

Christian Ponder revealed that he underwent an MRI on his right elbow several weeks after the season when his triceps bruise "flared up" again.
Ponder says he's fine now, but it's a reminder for a player who's struggled with throwing-arm injuries since Florida State. Ponder was unable to play in the Wild Card round of the playoffs due to a right triceps bruise that essentially "shut down" his entire arm. He had multiple shoulder surgeries in college.

ESPN 1500 Twin Cities suggests the Vikings won't hesitate to make changes at quarterback if Christian Ponder reverts to "the kind of protracted slump he almost didn't escape" last season.
Ponder is the unquestioned starter going into training camp, but it wouldn't be surprising if Matt Cassel gets on the field at some point. The Vikings continue to say they haven't given up on Ponder as a franchise quarterback and that his starting job will only be vulnerable if he struggles with injuries this season.

Adrian Peterson said his goal for this season is to run for 2,500 yards.
Peterson rumbled for 2,097 last season even though he was coming off a knee reconstruction and playing through a sports hernia. In order to reach 2,500 yards, he'd need to average 156.25 yards per day over 16 games. It's not going to happen, but Peterson is set up for another run at Eric Dickerson's single-season record of 2,105 yards. Lead-blocker Jerome Felton and mauling tackle Phil Loadholt are both back and Peterson will be 21 months removed from his ACL tear by the time Week 1 rolls around.

Vikings WR Greg Childs (torn patellar tendons) has resumed sprinting and cutting.
"All the necessary things I need to be doing, I'm doing now," Childs said. "I still do my cuts and my runs full speed. There is no change in the way I run or the way I play. My routes are still the same." Despite the progress, Childs admits he's not close to 100 percent. The Vikings are operating under the assumption Childs "may never play a meaningful down in the NFL." So should fantasy owners.
