That's rich coming from the guy who has been invisible defensively for years.

I expected it from Percy, but not Kevin. Best to just not get baited into these issues; but on the other hand, I agree with what he's saying. It's just unprofessional for him to say it publicly.

It sounds like that's the part that surprised Ponder. I thought he handled it well though.
Kevin Williams seems to be airing a lot of grievances publicly lately.

I'd like to see Ponder take it personally. That dude needs a big chip on his shoulder, but I haven't seen it yet to date. He's wasting top end talent just because he's indecisive. Dude just needs to let it rip and he'd probably be pretty good. Kevin's 100% on the money with his criticism.

Its not like he's wrong. I do think the only possible motive for him coming out and saying it is to be an #### tho.

It sounds like most of the players on the Vikings, including Ponder himself, could see what Frazier and Spielman either couldn't or wouldn't.

Wow he should stay away from most view points of his play then ...
The guy sucks and can't keep up with the speed of the game at all..
I don't even want him on the team this year I would rather have another player
that adds value.

I have a feeling that almost every player on the team think Ponder is "lacking." Even Ponder himself. He has had a chip on his shoulder for 3 years and haven't found a way to get it off. I can see the chip getting more stale as the days go by. It's making his play even more stale as years progress.

I can't believe the hate for Williams. He was an awesome player for many years for the Vikings, and just because his play slips a little some "hate" him now and think he sucks.
He has been the model player for his entire career, with the only blemish being the Starcaps thing. Just because he isn't as good now as he once was doesn't mean he deserves to be treated like some here are treating him.

I don't think they couldn't or wouldn't see it. I think they simply wanted him to play and overcome it, to develop.

That will be awkward when Ponder gets waived and picked up by Seattle.

LOL! At that point, Ponder, Williams and Harvin will all need to have a heart to heart with Pete Carroll "officiating".

Williams didn't say anything earth shattering ... Or insulting for that matter. Ponder needs to make quicker decisions during games ... Ya think?
