Did you get anymore Mond vs Mannion clarity last night?

Clarity?
I think the Vikings could loose both and it wouldn’t hurt anything.

Release Mannion.  Put Mond on the practice squad and if some other team grabs him and wants to spend some time developing him, so be it.

I still think Mond makes the team. 

Cousins
Mullins
Mond

Goodbye Mannion 

Mannion clearly is not worthy of being an NFL player. He needs to be Cousins golf buddy or whatever but not backup QB. I will start to question the intelligence of this new regime if he is kept.

Mannion sucks. He has got to go. 

I think they're going to keep Mannion and cut Mond.  On Purple Daily last week they said that the practice before the SF game Kirk's wife and father were there cheering on Mannion.  Then this week, the first practice after the Mullens trade (Wednesday I think), Mannion took all the 2nd team reps (Mullens wasn't practicing yet).  

I think Mannion stays over Mond because KOC and Kwesi are worried Kirk will have a hissy fit if it's Mannion who gets whacked.

I still think that if Mannion is actually good at being Kirk's "bench buddy" QB coach, make him part of the coaching staff and quit pretending he's a legit option as a player.  Actually apply the upside he supposedly has.

As for Mond...I just never see much of anything, beyond a few plays per game, that makes him memorable whatsoever.  He looks like so many other young QBs that have the physical tools, but are kinda stunned in the lights of even preseason games.

Mullins already looks better than everyone else behind Kirk, so make him #2 in any case.

they both blow

They threw out Rick and forgot to throw out his trash with him.  :p   Oh well at least we have Mullens, a guy who could conceivably win a game.  That's something more than what we had for the last year +.

haven’t had a real backup since Keenum.

I don’t think it’s even worth debating the third string QB

Neither one looked confident and in control (watching body language and facial expressions).  Mond had a deer in the headlights look in between plays.  Mannion was flat out inconsistent with his throws..spot on and then behind or over the top on another.  My prediction:  they'll keep Mullens as the #2 QB, cut both Mond and Mannion and re-sign Mond to the Practice Squad for more long-term evaluation.  Mond has more upside than Mannion.  Mullens is a bona fide serviceable backup, neither Mannion nor Mond are today.

^This.

Another year in the incubator isn't gonna matter. 

With Mullens traded here to actually be a viable #2 QB, why in the hell would the team keep Mannion? The #3 should always be some long shot with upside, not a vet who looks like hot dog shit on the football field. Just cut his ass.

Agree completely 

Yes, neither are the answer. 

Mond has some value as a #3.  Mannion should be working at Fleet n Farm.

if cut Mond will be on the roster of a crappy team. if he makes it to the PS i would be astonished.

The purple tinted idea  of Mond showing up looking  like Wilson or Prescott , has completely  turned to shit. Just sayin'

I had the same impression in Mond and it was depressing.  No swagger at all.  Seems totally beaten down.  Hard to say whether he once had swagger and it has been surgically removed.  Funny, in all the video I had seen of Mond previously (not a lot), he had a very engaging smile and persona.  But during the game (especially between plays as you note) that was all gone.  He did not look like he was having any fun or had any joy in playing.

Well I was half right.  Wasn't expecting both to get cut.  I suppose now we hope Mond gets to the PS.
