Josh Freeman opined Wednesday that the Minnesota Vikings "do things the right way around here." Rather predictable athlete-speak from the guy who just got the starting quarterback job. But what about the guy he replaced, the freshly benched Christian Ponder? Asked if he'd be open to a trade, Ponder told reporters: "I don't know." "Again, I have to figure out what's best for me and everything and for this team," Ponder said Wednesday, per the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "I don't know if that's staying here or going somewhere else." Source: NFL.com markaz's Take: Getting benched by a guy who doesn't even know the playbook isn't the optimal vote of confidence. Now, Christian, where ya gonna go because God knows it's all about you and what makes you happy. Your "concern" of what is in the best interest of the Vikings is a joke because all you had to do was play up to your own hype when you had the start...that's what was in the best interest of the Vikings.
