At this point, just throw Mond in.
Mannion is useless, Cook can't get more than a few, the line can't buy much time...
...dust off the kid. It's not like we'd be losing anything.
KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....
They aren't going to do it. The defense is going to get gassed. The playcalling is going to continue to be shit. Might even be a shutout. Don't let Zimmer come back to Minnesota after the game.
… no sh%t? Anyone whos ever seen Mannion play knows he sucks, except for our coach who says he’s great. Unreal

I'd put in Mond. If not right away, then after Mannion's first failed series. Packers will be sorry they only got a 17 point lead. Vikings shut Rodgers down in the 2nd half. I predict 24-20. Playoffs bitches.
I figure we may as well kick the tires on the kid, we're not gonna win the game with the coaching we've got, anyway.
Blow up the coaching offices, bring in Pedersen (sp?) or similar, and wake this team the f**k up.
It’s insane he didn’t start. It’s even more insane he hasn’t been put in since. Almost any other QB in the NFL with Mannion’s numbers would have been benched. I legitimately have no idea what Zimmer is trying to do anymore.
if mond was in we might have had a chance can't blame the def early
I trust Zimmer and Spelly with Mond.
They are saving him for next year where he will take league by storm.
We are out of the playoffs and I don't want to show all our cards (or skeletons)
The Vikings internally discussed playing rookie Kellen Mond tonight but opted for experience (Mannion started with Vikings in 2019) and following the plan from when team drafted Mond: Let him develop. Team keenly aware of how badly even top picks have struggled at QB this year.

I need therapy to figure this all out. How can you love something but then hate it as well?? Yes, I do watch every murder/love show on Discovery and apparently learn nothing :)

Sometimes I have to get out my opinions. Heres hoping next year is better.
Was it a drunken mirage or did Mond play 3 snaps???
Then we brought in our 4th string QB who is also our 2nd string QB. Only the Vikings!

I saw that and wondered what they were doing. He barely got his feet wet with a three and out.
Maybe they plan to let him start against the Bears but now is the time to get him experience. Maybe not against a hungry Bears defense that gave Cousins all he could ask for.
