One of the offseason's biggest stories was constant chirping from Vikings wide receiver Greg Jennings about Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and his lack of leadership. In the midst of a tough season, and highly ineffective quarterbacking from three different passers in Minnesota, Jennings is singing a different tune.
"If Aaron knows me like he's known me the past seven years, then he knows I'm not one of those guys that wishes ill on anyone or just tries to stand out and be apart from the team," Jennings said. "Hopefully, he knows that."
After an embarrassing display last week by newcomer Josh Freeman, he was expected to retain his starting spot. Concussion-like symptoms have felled him this week, though, giving Week 1 starter Christian Ponder a final chance to prove he should be the Vikings' starter.
"At the quarterback position, you want to know who is going to be lining up week-in and week-out," head coach Leslie Frazier said. "But that's the circumstance where we are and Christian will do a good job for us on Sunday night."
Jennings called for the Vikes to rally around Ponder, and anyone taking snaps at any given time. "It doesn't matter who it is, we have to help him be successful and he has to help us be successful so it's Christian this week, that's who we're rolling with, that's who we're rooting for."
