There going for broke this year in order to get more job security so i don't see Mond seeing the field until 2023 cuz Cousins contract next season will be tough to move.

My second choice is after four games. If the Vikings lose to the Bengals out of the gate, it's entirely possible they start 0-4.

Love the thought Mark!

I'm guessing Next year is the year of the Mond.

With a bad Oline Cousins has only missed ONE game in his time with the Vikings. He is durable and dependable in this regard. Zimmer is slow to start rookies. So he will be slow to start Mond, who has ZERO experience over Cousins who has years of it. and Cousins isn't the catastrophe you make him out to be. He could be better especially in 2 minute situations as you suggest, but in the end Mond doesn't see the field this year.

And likely next year either if they don't find away to get rid of Cousins before then.

And that was the final game of the season where we sat Thielen, Diggs and Cook as well.

Its the only game Cousins has missed in his 6 years as a starter.

Nothing it guaranteed, but he's been very durable and dependable despite horrifically bad Olines in front of him here and in Washington.

And with Zimmer's anxiety about starting rookies unless he has no choice.... There is no way Mond sees the field as long as Cousins is standing upright. A very likely scenario considering history to this point.

Interesting if true. I'm intrigued by Mond's potential and he is a lot more mobile than Mills.

Glad Sweens posted the article. I believe it, especially seeing that Mond went right before Mills. That two teams that had Mond rated higher

Agreed on the mobility part. It seems the picture over the last 10 years is settling into you better be a stud with pocket presence if you don't have very good mobility or have some wheels. Not an RG III runner, but with the ability to do damage running if there are no legit passing options. Looks like Wilson, Mahomes, and Mahomes are the torch bearers. Via some stats, Mahomes runs about 1/3 less.

Interesting to know that the Texans also liked him better than Mills.

It's far from just Brad. The way I look at it is that this thread could have a roach motel effect on the Cousins bitching.

I think it's more a case of being a place for Cousins bitchers to congregate.

We drafted a quarterback in the third round. It's only reasonable to ask the question. It's not like our current guy is a perennial all-pro with sensational leadership qualities.
