Two years in the same system...if he isn't better than Mannion right now he shouldn't be in the building.
i hate idiotic stuff like this Quote:In the preseason last year, Sloter completed 41 of 56 passes (73.2
percent) for 366 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions and a
passer rating of 114.1. His numbers were much better than those of
Siemian, who completed 26 of 46 (56.5 percent) for 269 yards with two
touchdowns and one interception and a passer rating of 79.0. Regardless,
Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said at the start of the regular season that
Siemian was the undisputed backup.
How about the qualifier that Sloter went against the scrubs and Siemian went against 1s and 2s for the most part.
As someone posted in another thread, if Cousins goes down, it's dunbar anyway. Sloter may be young, but from what little I've seen, looks back-up adequate at this point. Pick up another arm anywhere but as many have stated, if Sloter is not ready, prepare to draft a QB next year.
we need to draft a qb anyway, KC has 2 years to get er done

I understand what you are saying about just going off of stats and not factoring in who they played against, but I think anyone who watched them play thought that Sloter looked like the much better QB, regardless of the competition they were facing.
Besides, what does Sloter have to do in order to get a fair shake in this competition? Throw for 95%, with 10 TDs and 0 INTs? Because he's done everything asked of him and then some, and for two offseasons in a row, on two different teams, has looked like the best QB on the team during the limited time he's been able to get on the field.

Who says he wasn't given a fair shake? It wasn't really a contest because Sloter was raw and who would go into the season with a raw project as the backup? Everyone knew this, but Tommasson still gets a dig in acting like Zimmer is incompetent and can't see Sloter was that much better.

There is more to it than what we as fans see in pre season. There is obviously something behind the scenes that make him not as ready as we arm chair QB’s think he is. Does he know the playbook ? does he know when to audible out of a play and what to audible too ? can he read a defense ? He may look great in the preseason running a vanilla offense playing against 3rd string defensive players playing a vanilla defense but what does he look like in practice running a more complex offense against zimz defense.

No offense, but that is a possibility.
I seem to remember Zim not being happy with Sloter in the pre season. I believe he said, "Yeah he plays well in the game but he needs to work in practice". Something like that.
