Vikings taking ball from Ponder's hands

PLAY JOE WEBB!

What works: Adrian Peterson
What doesn't work: Christian Ponder

Go with what works. It's not rocket science.

I guess using AD more keeps the Vikes away from those 3rd and long passing downs.

I agree. He can't play any worse than Ponder has.

Couldn't have said it better...

And besides, giving him a chance to break Dickerson's record also keeps him in the running for MVP. It's probably the only honor the Vikings will get this year, but I'd like to see it.

Still might be a bit tough for the Vikes. Can you break it down a little simpler for them?

I know that it's going to go to Manning, but the Comeback Player of the Year should be Peterson's. Less than a year removed from tearing his knee to hell, he has looked like the best running back in football. He's taking hits to his knee and making cuts on every play. It's amazing.

You are underestimating his mediocity.

It's unlikely to happen given the way the selection is made, but really, both of these guys deserve it. If ever there was a situation for awarding it to two guys, this is it.

I see that, and I understand that Manning's bird-neck is exposed on every play, but Peterson takes hits to his knees and cuts on every play, too, and he didn't take a year-and-a-half off. I do agree that both players are very deserving, and maybe (probably) it's because I'm a Viking fan, but Peterson playing the way that he has is more impressive to me.

I'd rather see Kevin Kolb, Brady Quinn, Mark Sanchez or Tim Tebow start at quarterback. Is that better?

Maybe I don't know much about football, but I'm pretty sure Adrian Peterson is the Viking who keeps taking the ball from Ponder's hands.

I don't think AD is likely to break Dickerson's record, but I do think he's the MVP, regardless.

Peyton should be Comeback Player of the Year.

If the Vikings had lost the Christmas Eve game last year in Washington how would RG111 look in a purple uniform. Cutler gave the Vikes the game last Sunday with one of his picks ran back for a td and another ran back to the 5 yard line.

If that had happened I'd say that would put the NFC North as arguably the strongest division in football at that position. Cutler and Stafford are inconsistent but either one can carry their team when they're on. Brady will probably get MVP and Manning Comeback POY. Peterson should get one of those but as the talking heads remind us weekly, it's a QB driven league.

You really don't like him.

Bring back Favre.
