Christian Ponder knows who the starting quarterback will be when the Vikings host the Panthers on Sunday, but he’s not telling who it is.
Ponder suggested a decision has been made but deferred to Frazier, who started his presser by saying no decision has been made. Got that?

According to reports, Ponder has not been taking reps with the first-team at practice — Matt Cassel has been. That leads us to believe Cassel will eventually be named the starter. That’s the growing opinion among local media members.
Christian Ponder says he has been told what plan is this week but would not reveal. "The dynamics of this organization have changed."

Immediate takeaway: Christian Ponder doesn't sound like a player vying for a starting spot, even though he said he split reps with Cassel

Ponder was also asked about the possibility of being traded.

At the end of the day, at least Ponder is holding his head high.
