So flip your cheese-loving cheeks over to the couch and let me tell you why the Gardner Minshew trade is a big positive for your beloved Green and Gold.
Despite having one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever put on a uniform, year after year Thompson was unable to put together a roster that both Aaron Rodgers and the state of Wisconsin deserved.
Feeling the Kirk Cousins heat this offseason, Rick Spielman finally went the Bill Belichick route by drafting a rookie in the first three rounds to develop behind the established starter.
Now, I won’t pretend to know anything about college football, but I do know the NFL, and Kellen Mond looks like he is about as good at reading the middle of the field as Tim Tebow is at blocking from the TE position.
Yet, you can’t tell me this is a rebuilt Super Bowl-contending team led by a quarterback in this precious situation and then roll into the season with Mond as your backup.
I know this because Middle America Heartthrob and legendary mustache owner Gardner Minshew was shipped out to the Eagles for a sixth-round draft pick after Urban Meyer finally committed to Trevor Lawrence for opening day.
More importantly, the Vikings have never gone into a season during an open-society pandemic with a guy who won’t do the simplest, most basic civil duty of protecting himself and others.
Spielman watched the second half in the booth Friday while being interviewed by voice of the Vikings Paul Allen.
The game included the most extended view of Mond to date.
But he has continually and extensively failed to put together a meaningful solution at both the quarterback and offensive line positions, once again creating a team that might be good but almost certainly won’t be good enough.
So, as your Lambeau warriors march into a season that might be Aaron Rodgers’ last dance, take extra comfort in the fact that your main division rival has an overrated quarterback at the helm and absolutely nothing behind him.
