quote: ORIGINAL: drviking Nice to see, that the front office is able to recognize problems... Its not life changing, but its an obvious improvement...He at least gives you a small chance to steal a game against a bad team if KC has a problem Good post. 2024 seventh rounder for maybe a backup QB ... that works. I wouldn't stop looking though. At the very least you want a back-up guy with a 1) decent arm, 2) can move around a bit and buy time because no backup is polished in the pocket or great at pre-snap reads, and 3-5) has some cajones because no backup gets enough practice reps, they need som extra feisty sauce just to step in on the fly and operate. IMO Mullens checks those boxes from the very little I've seen. We are still sunk without KC over multiple games but atleast Mullens will make it interesting ... Mannion was just so depressing.

More and more of the stench from the last regime is diffusing away. Love it!

We fans are big winners today because we never have to watch Mannion again.

I guess it really shows my opinion of Mond/Mannion when I am excited about trading for Mullins agreed, it was a no-brainer, but our last regime were no brainers...so the change is good now, let's address the no-brainer starting center position...i like Schlottman as backup center

David F. -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/22/2022 11:21:08 AM)
The bottom line for me is that now if Cousins has to miss a game or three or five, I feel like we still have a chance to win those games. A reduced chance, for sure, but still a chance and that's really important.

Phil says Mullens has a little Favre in him, and there is this: ....He played college football for the Southern Miss Golden Eagles, where he surpassed Brett Favre's single-season record for passing yardage (4,476) and touchdown passes (38).

marty -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/22/2022 11:40:02 AM)
Mullens may be more of a gamer than Cousins. He takes over, and you might start spelling Cousins, Cousens.

marty -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/22/2022 11:41:44 AM)
The Vikings probably have a better passing system than the 49ers, Mullens could flourish. Not the next Keenum, he may be BETTER than Keenum. More like the next Nick Foles.

marty -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/22/2022 11:52:39 AM)
Nick ('Foles') Mullens, Most passing TDs in USM history: https://youtu.be/Sfd2kwFVMjQ

Richard Neussendorfer -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/22/2022 11:56:30 AM)
I love that the days of the Treadwells and Mannions seem behind us. Of course we won't hit on near everything but these guys seem to understand things.

marty -> RE: General Vikes Talk (8/22/2022 12:02:34 PM)
A better right side of the OL than 49ers (with Ingram starting), a better passing system, better WRs, better RB, Mullens could flourish, here's his first start for SF: https://youtu.be/3jBPdo1TrT4 Just need a TE that can stay healthy, and a better center.

You do realize he's only going to play if Cousins is out, right?
