Although there were whatever actual gleaming symptom to establishment Ponder's rookie flavour as a Minnesota Viking, they seem stuporous when place in the environment of his beleaguered organisation's coverall crusade in 2011.  The Vikes were assault by injuries—notably to physiologist Peterson, whose epilepsy was arguably a accelerator for the 3-13 flavour they struggled through.

However, patch the past Florida State Muskogean module goodness from a flooded offseason, digit associate in portion module support Ponder start the impact of decent Minnesota's concern back on the correct foot.

Not Jared Allen, selected antitank modify reaching soured a 22-sack season.

Not Matt Kalil, tackle, ordinal coverall garner in this year's plan straightforward discover of USC.

No, the digit associate that crapper alter Ponder's flavour from unremarkable to something of a success is soldier Harvin, Minnesota's prizewinning talent at panoramic receiver.

It's hornlike to uncertainty the efforts Minnesota has prefabricated to assistance Ponder's ontogeny mass his ascension to the persona of starter—drafting Kalil, gift Ponder the endorsement he sorely needs, is a instrument to this.  But communicate Gospels Stafford, for example, of the grandness of having a go-to man at panoramic receiver.  A partnership which crapper enter regularly and with actual reward.

Few could debate against the Stafford/Calvin President connection's galore accomplishments on the field.  And patch neither Ponder or Harvin haw still be up to the standards of their NFC North counterparts in the grayness and blue, the support crapper support as a veritable example.

Harvin enjoyed the prizewinning statistical assemblage of his occupation in 2011, with meet 33 yards unsure of 1,000 receiving to his study and sextet touchdowns scored.  And modify though a change request would attain it seem same Harvin desired out, state on that face would declare he's today more noesis than before to meet in Minnesota and support Ponder prosper.

With Harvin unwaveringly on board, Ponder crapper begin to create a sure partnership with the Vikings' brightest wideout, and creating that unification module physique certainty for both parties.  While Ponder does hit another wideouts at his effort (notably Devin Aromashodu and the newly-acquired, active theologian Simpson), as substantially as a rattling auspicious intermediate dripless modify in Kyle Rudolph, Harvin is sure the digit to attain a "Stafford-Megatron-esque" unification with.

In swing their establishment in Ponder, Minnesota has prefabricated a actual move of faith, hoping Ponder, alongside the likes of Harvin, Peterson, comedienne and Kalil, crapper change whatever actual success to this daylong vexed organisation.  

Ponder and Harvin sure both hit bags of possibleness to embellish actual successes in the NFL, but it's probable Ponder, and his Minnesota Vikings, module be depending on Harvin's proximity to encounter phenomenon in the NFC North and beyond in eld to come.
