Hey gang, no worries! Seriously! We're fine!
Look at the quote from Zimmer. We got nothing to worry about, really good news here:
Mike Zimmer speaking on the Kirk Cousins news: "We hate to see that happen to Kirk, but he's done a lot of great things for us. Sean is a really great football player and we expect him to perform really well."

Mannion is a REALLY good football player, guys. We're golden.

Honestly I'm surprised this game didn't get flexed out of that time slot. Even if Cousins and AT played I didn't have much hope of it being a good game for our squad.
I'd actually like our chances if those two were playing - seriously.Happy New Year Jimmy!!
Oops, realized I forgot to wish yoiu happy new year as well brother!
To add salt to the 2021 wound that was the Vikings season, GB is going to further solidify home field advantage on it's way to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.

Let's be honest, every season Vikings shock everyone and win some bizarre game that on paper they had no chance.
Unfortunately that is usually coupled with 3+ losses in games they should have whooped their opponents.
I wouldn't rule out some crazy win in GB, only to shit the bed next week with playoffs on the line.

No doubt. It would be much more competitive.
Greenbay on a Sunday night is no place to start a rookie QB.

I can see arguments for both.

I'm thinking starting a rookie who has had zero reps all season in practice is probably a bad idea.
A smart coach would have us in 12 or 13 personnel the bulk of the night, with Brandel as a TE. Run the ball down GBs throat and keep Rodgers off the field.
We will not do that.

You lost me at the bold
Just saw the spread doubled. Watch GB drop a 50 burger.

In all fairness, 3rd string QB usually runs the scout team. Also, he was a 4 year starter in the SEC. He doesn't lack experience.Davis Mills, picked one pick after Mond and is now starting for Houston, started 11 career games at Stanford.
So what you're saying is Vikings coaches mishandled his development if he's not ready by Week 17 after starting 40+ games in the SEC.

Starting Mannion is a worse idea. Most people who have seen him play knew that. I wish Zim did too.
Running the scout team is in no way shape or form the same as getting reps with the first team.
None.
Yes, let's end this debacle with a debate about starting Mannion vs Mond. What a f'in season.
