08:00 AM ET 07.03 | Having endured the end of the Favre era and the failed attempt at turning over the keys to Donovan McNabb, Vikings fans are understandably looking to Christian Ponder to right the ship. This was an extremely important offseason for [Ponder], and no one was more aware of this fact than his position coach, Craig Johnson. ... We recently discussed Ponder's progress, and the expectations for the second-year quarterback, with Johnson. Q. How far has Ponder come from the end of last season until now? A. "I think there's no question, he's come light years. Obviously getting a chance to work out a lot of the kinks, a lot of the problems that you find out as a young player, that's when you get a chance to work on them is usually in the first offseason afterwards."

Does it really matter? Last place is still the reality for them.

I'm amazed how 1 1/2 seasons make it a Favre era.

Spend one winter in Minnesota and it will feel like an era to you, too.

I grew up in Wisconsin so it isn't too bad. I remember when we transferred out of Hawaii, we were driving cross country and stopped somewhere in MN for gas and some guy saw my HI tag and said "wow, that's quite a drive."

That is nice, but the injury to AP put them back two galaxies further.

Yeah, but for the Packers, Bears and Lions, they're still in the rear-view mirror.

The Vikings can see the other teams in their rear-view mirror. They are about to get lapped.
