08:00 AM ET 12.20 | For now, the Vikings game plan pretty much amounts to Adrian Peterson on offense. There has been a lot of talk about QB Christian Ponder struggling or at least not fulfilling his potential, and it???s clear the coaching staff is doing its best to raise his confidence. ... But we hear that receiver is going to be a position that looks wholly different next season -- with the status of Percy Harvin remaining quite unknown. ... [There] are concerns about Harvin???s commitment to the team, questions about his focus and the relationship with the coaching staff and whether all his talent is worth the problems that come with him. Harvin is a free agent after the 2013 season and it might be best for the team at least to explore trade options this offseason.

Don't think you want to be 1 dimensional team, AP is great but if they stop him you better have other options.

Another one of those dudes that is awesome on the field but just can't seem to stay on the field and off the Injured list.

Get him to a warm weather team and he'll be fine.

Hmmmm.......

No mention of Ponder possibly being sidetracked mentally as well because of his high profile relationship with ESPN's Samantha Steele?

That's true, though there is some question to how injured he is right now. There is a belief that he just doesn't want to play. Pretty crazy considering he was leading the league in receptions when he got "hurt".

That's because relationship or no relationship, Christian Ponder sucks.

Another Viking wideout with a bad attitude/work ethic. Calling Dr. Belichick!

If that were to happen, I think you'd see a faster, more elusive version of Wes Welker.

This kid is a total package. Great hands, speed and a threat on special teams. Get him a QB who can throw the ball up and he will run under it. The Vikes have a stud running back a stud wide receiver and a dud quarterback. Actually that's not fair - lot of duds out there - just middle of the road QB - drifting towards a ditch.

Don't they play in a domed stadium?

Harvin would be scooped up by any of the other 31 teams...

LOL........far too many of those.

I don't think I have ever seen him play

There did seem to be a correlation though between his shaky play of late and announcing that Steele was his girlfriend. Sort of like the slump Romo went into once Jessica Simpson started showing up at Cowboys games.

Thus proving you can't fix stupid but you can date it.

Not really. He's always sucked.
