"That would be the ideal situation -- we've got our Matt Ryan, we've got our Flacco, we've got our Sanchez right here," said Frazier. "But because of the uncertainty of the offseason, it's just hard to determine exactly how you want to approach it." As long as Ponder can put in a full training camp, we like his chances of lining up under center against the Chargers in Week 1. Donovan McNabb is no longer as likely to land in Minnesota after Ponder was drafted.
