It was reported earlier this week that Christian Ponder would be replacing Donovan McNabb as the Minnesota Vikings starting quarterback and head coach Leslie Fraizer confirmed that at his Wednesday press conference.
Christian Ponder Expected To Start For Rest Of Vikings Season
He also said that Ponder is expected to start for the rest of the season for the 1-5 Vikings. This was expected once Ponder replaced McNabb but it’s interesting to hear Frazier confirm that because it means that, for the first time in over a decade, McNabb will be a true backup.
Some wondered whether McNabb would request his release from the Vikings if he wasn’t the starter the rest of the season but it appears that’s not the case. McNabb indicated that he was willing to help Ponder on his transition to the NFL as a starting quarterback.
