I am kind of surprised Brees ranked this high

The Minnesota Vikings' Christian Ponder may have the worst arm strength in the entire NFL.

It's certainly arguable, but a quarterback with smarts, deadly accuracy and pro-style experience wouldn't get a second- or even third-round grade if his arm strength was a joke.

The guy seems to know nothing of football. You don't need great armstrength to throw a ball deep, every NFL Qb can do that. The hard part is throwing a good 10 yard out-route.
Ponder will be successful, but don't look for the Vikings to be a vertical team for a while.
