If it wasn’t for a competent showing by Kellen Mond and a mini “comeback” against the Kansas City Chiefs in the Minnesota Vikings final preseason game, Vikings fans would be in full panic about the 2021 QB2 situation. Some folks may still even be in a state of apprehension on the topic.
On Tuesday, Minnesota released Mond’s primary QB2 competition in Jake Browning and Nate Stanley. Browning should be perceived as a cautionary tale on preseason success. For about a week, prominent Vikings minds believed Browning was worthy of QB2 responsibility based on a practice, but then he totally nosedived in organized preseason games.
