Still it is the arbitrary rules that make the difference. Now 5 days quarantine are enough because 10 is too hard. Science written all over that. Go back and figure out which rules/proclamations have changed multiple times since all of this and why. Arbitrary rules are just that, dictates from non-scientists.
Spot fucking on!

Arbitrary or not, we all knew the rules and the risks as did Cousins and Cook and the other unvaccinated idiots.
They made selfish choices without giving 2 shits about their teammates, the team or the possible impact.
But the starting QB of all people is not easily replaced and supposed to be the leader. And in fitting Cousins fashion, he shit the bed when we needed him most.
Sorry that his personal health decision has affected you so deeply. Wonder why a guy like this has never missed an NFL start before, being so stupid with his health and all….

Confused why Mannion starting over Mond is controversial, or even surprising. Mannion is the backup and has been all year. Only reason to start Mond is to see what you've got. You sure as hell wouldn't do that with the playoffs on the line. I know most of us have given up on the season, but the Vikings obviously can't.
The Vikings will probably start with Mannion and maybe use Mond as an occasional running option or goal line QB. If Mannion keeps us in the game, great. But if he sucks, you can always put in Mond. Doing it the other way around would be a huge mistake IMO.
Surprising? No. Zimmer is washed.
Frustrating? Yes, because I hope(d) Mond would be better than Mannion, especially in a run-first environment like tomorrow night. So either Mond is galactically bad which is possible, or the coaches/FO— who could force a coach to play Mond, happens all the time— are galactically obtuse. Either way it’s frustrating. Sad season.
Also if anyone here is “happy” Kirk tested positive and all but ended the Vikings season… congrats on the being the other side of the same coin as the “Boycott The NFL Because Somebody Took A Knee” nuts.
Hoping a player is good doesn't make him good. We just don't know. Mannion is the QB2 and has been all year. He knows the offense as well as Cousins, if not better. It would be pretty crazy to suddenly, with the playoffs on the line, move Mond ahead of Mannion. Once eliminated, sure.
Right now the NFL doesn't know what the Vikings have in Mond. That could actually be beneficial considering all the moves that will happen in the offseason. To paraphrase someone smart, better to show nothing and be thought a potential bust than to bomb on national tv and remove all doubt.

We all knew this was EXACTLY what would happen: unvaccinated dumbasses would play a role at a critical time in the fate of our season.
With the new Covid rules, had Cousins been vaccinated he might have had a chance to to produce two negative tests before Sunday and been able to play. But being the wise team leader he is, he opted for the plastic bubble defense.
FUCKING MORON
And that ladies and gentlemen, is how your 2021 Vikings season will end, as predictable as January snow.
What an ignorant take. You’ve been praying all year that this would happen to Kirk, so you could make your little rant. Well, it doesn’t change the following:
1. The vaccine is borderline useless at this point in preventing infection.
2. Numerous “vaccinated” Vikings have hit the list.
3. The all death rate for those vaccinated are exceeding the unvaccinated in areas with the highest vaccination rates.
4. The Omicron variant rather than the vaccine is the most promising alternative to ending the pandemic at this point in time.
5. Fauci has not been right on one thing about the virus to this point, which is a remarkable accomplishment two years in.
You are certifiably the worst poster and crybaby on this entire site. Lol
Death rates are higher for the vaccinated vs unvaccinated?
LOL
Go sell your nutjob LIES elsewhere
Honestly they should ban you right there for spouting your uneducated moronic conspiracy theories that are already proven false
But hey I am sure they will also let your personal attacks and name calling towards me slide, too because that's how the Mods here roll
Doesn't make you right, or smart and I really don't care about having a popularity vote on here
I would not be a bit surprised if we see Mond sometime in the Packers game. Mannion is a lot less mobile than Cousins and slower in pulling the trigger on a pass. Simply, he's going to get himself killed when the Packers defense rushed straight up the middle.
I feel sorry for Cook, he's going to get a record setting number of hand-offs with this current situation and Jefferson is really going to complain with the number of passes being thrown his way. Mannion can't and won't get it done.

I think we could see him a lot actually. I could be wrong. Depends on what kind of game it is. But in the preseason, when two of our QBs were down, Kubiak got pretty creative with RPO and direct snaps to the backs. I can see Mond playing situationally. The kind of role Taysom Hill played in New Orleans couple seasons ago. At this point, he might be more effective in that kind of role than as a starter.

Kubiak with the creativity, now we’re talking. Still waiting for my fake punt hail mary pass…only two games left for it 
I suppose Kirk’s outdoor QB meetings to prevent COVID didn’t go as planned? What a frickin’ selfish moron. His crazy daddy must be so proud..

Kinda sounds like someone has no idea what “all death rate” data contains, but wants to label others ignorant. Lol
Let’s face it, dude, you’re a little strange and unhinged and not very up to speed on the pandemic. You also somehow think that a guy has no right to make decisions on his own personal health because your “football team” may lose a game. The fact that he obviously knows how to manage his health, career, and spirituality successfully is of far lesser importance than avoiding the scorn of an unhinged poster on vikefans.com.
