"All the successful rookie quarterbacks have one thing in common—running backs. Sam Bradford had Steven Jackson- Ben Roethlisberger had Jerome Bettis- Matt Ryan had Michael Turner- and Mark Sanchez had a committee of capable runners. A solid work horse in the backfield makes life easier for a rookie, and Adrian Peterson is among the best. It wouldn’t be wise to start Christian Ponder on your fantasy team immediately, or to use a high pick on him. But he could be a solid backup quarterback that could eventually develop into a starter as the season progresses."
