Christian Ponder Is A Pretty Smart Guy. Or Psychic. Or Both.

in Minnesota Vikings 2012 Off-Season
Email
PrintOne of the big strengths that people mentioned when they talked about Minnesota Vikings' quarterback Christian Ponder leading up to the 2011 NFL Draft was his intelligence. He graduated early from Florida State University and managed to get a Master's degree before he was drafted by the Vikings last season.
The one thing that we didn't know is that Christian Ponder is also, apparently, clairvoyant.
A lot of people picking the Giants. My guess is 21-17 Giants. Excited for @MarkHerzlich to be out there

Ponder managed to get the exact score and everything. I mean, a 21-17 score in the NFL isn't exactly a rarity or anything, but it's still kind of cool. Now, if he had told us how the Giants would get to 21 (via a safety, two field goals, a touchdown, and a touchdown with a failed two-point conversion), that would have been pretty impressive.
Here's hoping that some of Christian Ponder's psychic abilities translate onto the field next season after he gets a full off-season of camps and interaction with the coaches to hone his skills.

too bad
Mark Herzlich wasn’t active. Such an inspirational story
when asked by Dan Patrick if his name alluded to not making quick decisions in the pocket, Ponder calmly replied "As crazy as it sounds, my mom's maiden name is actually Superbowlwinner. All one word"
Carnac the Magnificent will now ascertain the answers having never before seen the questions!
“Searching the retirement homes, the answer is searching the retirement homes…..”
“And the Question is….”what happens if the Minnesota Vikings draft another Quarterback instead of offensive linemen causing Ponder, Webb and the new rookie to go down and no Quarterback in his right mind signing with the team…….which only leaves Vince Young!"
I wonder if Ponder foresee’s this without O-line. That’s the only way him or Webb or anyone is going to do squat next season.

Hope you are good Cali!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s going to be a long off season but we have to hold out hope! Although rebuilding, we may just be a little better than most might expect. I sure hope AP can regain his form.

I just think it's cool
That Ponder’s living here in MN during the off-season instead of going back to Florida or Texas or wherever his family is from.
Guess he was serious when he said he was going to stay and work with the coaches and trainers the entire off-season.
now he just needs to predict where charles woodson will be nefore he throws the ball....

Charles Woodson won't be in the league much longer.

Hahaha tweet after the game:
“I’m going to buy a Lotto ticket tonight”
also thought it was pretty cool that Ponder didn’t go to the game itself because he wants the first Super Bowl he goes to to be the one that he plays in.

he might have a long wait
That's because
He takes his vitamins everyday!

Sports Cafe - London
Just want to say hi to all my fellow Vikings supports who watched the Superbowl at London’s Sports Cafe in the Haymarket. It was great meeting you all – though having to reminisce 2009 every time there was a 12 men on the field penalty hurt just a touch (",)
I didn’t get any names, but just want to say how nice it felt not being surrounded by Packers fans as I was last year!

Just joined and wanted to introduce myself. From iowa. Familys packers fans and friends are bears fans. The only vikings fan that i know and lives in my town is my creepy neighbor that i really dont even like. Hopefully this is as fun as it looks. I also Pre apologize because i am very thick headed :)

Not anymore. Welcome, don’t forget to wipe your feet on the packers rug on the way in.
If we can't laugh at ourselves, Packer fans will call us crybabies and we will be forced to kick their tooth in. I really don't want to go to jail (again).

He doesn't see eye to eye...
… with his family, is a little thick headed, has a creepy neighbour… Welcome to the Dailynorseman Chris Griffin!
Glad to have you on board <",))><

If he was really psychic...
… maybe he would tuck the ball and run instead of throw some of those horrific picks last year.
Psychics can't do anything
when there are 6’6 300 pound men getting to them in 2 seconds on every play. Maybe we should get some new linemen

Oh yeah!! OH YEAH!!!
Well…. RGIII would have totally hurdled those guys and threw TD’s.

Oh yeah, well
RGIII predicted the scores of the last three super bowls AND the winners of the last seven U.S. Open Championship AND he’s got a pony.
He’s sooo much better there is no comparison.
Obviously
