vike daddy Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Whatever it was, perhaps no player on the Vikings’ roster has benefited more from Kevin O’Connell’s arrival than Kellen Mond. Mond is getting some second-team reps, along with Sean Mannion, as they compete for the backup job behind Kirk Cousins. O’Connell: “Kellen’s having a good spring so far, working incredibly hard, digesting the system. He made a couple of checks yesterday at the line of scrimmage that he wasn’t prepared play-by-play for; he just instinctively did it. Those are the little things you look for.” https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/05/18/kevin-oconnell-praises-kellen-mond-who-is-getting-a-new-start-under-a-new-coach/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Mond can beat out Mannion for the backup job this season. I don't have a ton of faith, but he's definitely in a better spot than he was last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I hope to be pleasantly surprised, because I have no faith. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 If he can't beat out Mannion, he probably shouldn't be on the roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that happens, NEITHER of them should end up on the roster. Mannion should be only on The Practice Squad. He can be Kirk's personal assistant from there. They shouldn't waste a roster spot on him. He'd be totally worthless in trying to win any game Cousins would miss. I have confidence that Kellen can win The Back-up job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriminalMind Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 If Mannion is forced to start, all he does is guarantees us a Loss, without getting much media attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshpit23 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I really hope Mond wins the backup QB position this season. I would also like to see Mannion relegated to the practice squad. And I would like to see some packages to utilize Mond’s athleticism at QB. He would provide another weapon the defense would have to prepare for and get him some live action. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already have a QB coach and an assistant QB coach as well as O'Connell, so there would be no need for another pseudo-QB coach. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be happy if Mannion is simply cut so he can start his coaching career. My main point is that Mond takes the backup QB position. And I hope there are specific packages to optimize Mond’s athleticism and development. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
