If it’s towards O’Connell, then that would be two coaches that he’s struggled with, which would be far more indicative of a Mond problem. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Mond, a 2021 third-round pick, got most of the No. 2 reps ahead of Sean Mannion after spending almost his entire rookie season inactive. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/vikings-2022-training-camp-observations-kevin-oconnells-effect-kellen-mond-at-no-2-qb-and-more/?fbclid=IwAR1K8tutAGEp5EB9VnC0KcON9XWkcqtdBG0mgSNKKqw8LOUv_k3VisZFlhI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 That's one positive sign, but pardon me if my cynicism thinks that it's just because KOC was giving Mannion a rest. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't need the play anyway, he's already well-versed in the Rams offense having played for McVay for 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, that's how it works right? Backup QBs that have some sort of tie to McVay go on to become coaches and even head coaches lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spielman: Well, I still preferred Teddy over Carr and just because Carr is still starting doesn't mean I'd have done it any differently. Really, Mills is only starting because it's Houston, who has clearly tried to become the new Jacksonville. Neither one is truly qualified starter-material in the NFL.

Care is and has always been a better QB than Bridgewater. He also would have been a much better fit for Turner’s offense. I can certainly understand why Teddy, the person, won people over, but Carr has always had more talent. And while you may not think much of Mills as a starter, I won’t get into that, he wouldn’t be looked at as a starter here. He’d be a backup. And one who’s easily capable of beating out Mannion. Unlike the guy they did draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I certainly agree that Norv's offense was not the right offense for Teddy. I think Shurmur's and Kubiak's offenses later would have been far more suited to his skill-set. As far as Mills/Mond, I do agree with you as well that Mills would have been the clear backup and Mannion wouldn't even be here as compared to this guy. However, I believe Mond always had a bigger upside, which was the attraction...it just turns out that his floor is so much lower than Mills than what anyone expected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcblack34 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 So we could have drafted Carr, and had a QB who is the same as, or worse than, Kirk. Step three: Profit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was DEFINITELY aimed at how Zimmer mishandled Mond last season. It was made before this pads-on camp phase started. O'Connell is going to give Mold every chance to improve his techniques. At worst he'll keep Mond as the 3rd roster QB, to continue working with him towards getting next year's back-up job, even if he doesn't win it this season. But, we know Mannion CAN'T be The #2, so, IF Mold can't beat out Mannion, Quesi will have to sign a veteran backup no more than 3 weeks before Game #1 of the regular season.
