Leslie Frasier, when asked about the possibility of Matt Cassel being the new starter for the Vikings after his stellar performance on Sunday, wanted to ASSURE EVERYONE that would listen the last couple of days that Ponder is still his man.
sigh
I didn't expect Frazier to make an immediate change at the position, he would never do that. BUT he didn't come right out and say that Ponder would be his starter after the bye week, either. He may decide to keep Ponder out one more game to make sure Ponder is "fully healed" (wink, wink) so that he can see Cassel one more time in a game situation.
He would have reason, and he could still keep his chosen starter happy at the same time, all the while getting a better chance to grade further Cassel's performance.
Yeah, I guess he SAID the right thing. Just so he's THINKING something else, I'm okay with that.
