Looks like Mullens isn't playing tonight. I guess they have seen enough from him to feel confident he's our #2. My read is that Mannion and Mond might be fighting for a practice squad spot, at best.

Cuts are tomorrow, right? We will know how it all shakes out soon enough.

My son says the same thing you're saying, so I'm going to listen to both of you and chill out and not worry about it.

I think McVay is sort of leading the charge here, and it's a copycat league... and KOC obviously came from that tree. I heard during the Broncos game that the Bills played their starters, however, so not everyone is doing it the "new" way. Cool that your kid watches games, mine couldn't care less! Then again, maybe that will save him from the heartache we've experienced.

QBs are such a big gamble. For every Mahomes ,Hebert there’s a bunch of ponders, I will add Mond. Look at Cleveland. We got cousins now. But how long. Mond didn’t work, Stanley didn’t, but I believe one has to keep trying. When cousins is done. We need one to come in.

I guess one can gamble We can can get a stud with a couple firsts. But unfortunately this gamble would probably cost top 3

Without a top qb it’s rare a team is going anywhere

The last regime certainly didnt know how to draft a QB. I am hoping this one does.

The last regime? How about the last 40 years? Vikings have not had a franchise quarterback since Tarkenton

I have never thought of Culpepper as a franchise quarterback, he just did not play long enough and was on bad terms with the Vikings

Maybe not. But probably best after Fran. Was Brad Johnson a Viking draft pick.?

Culpepper wasn't on bad teams. He had two HOF WR's and R Smith sitting back there. Plus his OL was very good. Birk at center, Dixon and Stringer on the right and Stuessie and Lacina. Dixon and Stringer were over 700 ILBs and that was decades ago. They wore teams out. Pep was a mental midget and that did him in. The Giants confused him easily when he was shut out in the 2001 champ game. Moss made stiff QBs look good. That's a lot of O talent no matter how you slice it.
