Source said "definitely a chance" of backup QB Sean Mannion being re-signed by #Vikings with Kirk Cousins return assured. Mannion is very close to Cousins & helps him greatly in QB room. Mannion wasn't with O'Connell & Phillips on Rams but spent two years in Sean McVay's system.

For the love of...
I know it's absurdly early but the new sound-- at least so far-- sounds a lot like the old sound.
Please sir may I have some *analytics genius*

Is that an indictment on Mond, giving Kirk his pacifier, or a combination of both?

I think a good part of this is they have to figure out who they are first. KOC didn’t even call his plays. KAM is new to the lead man. 

If Kirk says thats my guy….and you just paid him big. Dont you trust him?

Clearly they trust Kirk at least for this year but the guy is a 10-year vet for fricks sake, he doesn't need Mannion around! And if he does... yikes. Also, it's not like Kirk is a Lebron-level player where he should be calling the shots to get his buddies gigs.

I assume you saw the GB game last year when Mannion had to, you know, play football? Hopefully this is just Tomasson generating content out his backside.

if he is that valuable, offer him a fucking coaching gig,  but the only way he should ever wear a Vikings jersey again is if somebody buys him one.  if this comes to be count me as likely the first to say KAM is in over his head and has to go.  Absolutely zero damn upside to mannion on the roster.

LOL. Somehow even a chance signing of Sean Mannion turns into a Kirk bash. Two years in McVay's system might actually come in handy.

I don't want to see him play a game ever again.

It is, until he has to get on the field.

Yep. KOC brought over like half the Rams staff. Surely we have enough possible mentors who know McVay's system. I'm not trying to turn this into a Kirk bashing thread... this is a Mannion bashing thread! :p

Seriously. Paying him the vet minimum is stupid and we all know he sucks. I agree, Jimmy, just make him a freaking coach of some sorts if you like him so much. "Director of QB Film Study" or something stupid like that

Maybe Mond should just become QB #2 then it's a non-issue.

My exact words. Why did they fire Zimmer and Spielman at this point? Run it back is the team slogan.

If they find a better option, I'm sure they will sign him. But I'd bet having two years in this offense would be helpful...at least in training camp. Quick, name the Rams backup QB.

Kirk shouldn't need to take up two roster spots with a babysitter at this stage of his career.

If he is so important to Kirk, fire is his ass as a player and bring him on the staff FFS.

Not a fan of Mannion, but remember since Kirk has been the Vikings QB, he's had the ability to basically choose his backup. Mannion is a good sounding board for him and I would presume he wouldn't get more than the vet minimum.
