The Minnesota Vikings, as we’ve previously explained, don’t have a great solution at backup quarterback. Sean Mannion, God bless him, is not a good NFL quarterback; he is still unsigned. Nate Stanley and Jake Browning are Minnesota’s other two options, but it’s unlikely either is ready to be Minnesota’s backup in the 2021 season. Ask yourself: if Captain Kirk goes down, would you be confident in Mannion (if he was re-signed), Stanley, or Browning? I’ve been wrong before (too many times to count), but I wouldn’t be overly confident.
The Vikings’ front office and coaching staff have a different knowledge of the roster than we do.
