Re: Vikings QB Kellen Mond test positive for COVID; three QBs including Kirk Cousins expected to miss practice

Maybe the Chinese are still "enhancing" it? What will we do if they start regular releases of COVID upgrades? "COVID 2.0, now enhanced to only infect and be deadly to only Americans" Or, what if Russia decides to start doing that now that "lab enhancing" of viruses is ...

Re: Vikings/Broncos

Who got the vaccine that got really sick? You're referring to the J&J vaccine and the blood clot issue? What about the people who get COVID and get really sick? Are you telling me that those numbers are anywhere near the numbers of people who have died or been seriously damaged from COVID? The ...

Re: Vikings/Broncos

TV referred to the QBs not vaccinated as uninformed. I agree with that, they are. Guessing Cousins didn't play because the NFL would not approve his plexiglass shield to keep everyone 6 feet or more from him on the sidelines and field. So now you and Texas vike are medical authorities beyond any qu...

Re: Vikings/Broncos

I am not sure how you managed to misunderstand, I guess it's par for the course these days, but what I'm referring to is that I hope that he will, of his own volition, make the choice to get vaccinated. Am I allowed to harbor such hope? Do I need to check in with you first? With all due respect TV,...

Re: A real offensive line, or just another "offensive" line

Zimmer is describing Darrisaw’s injury as “one step forward, two steps back.” Perhaps this is why he fell so far in the 1st. It’s going to be interesting long term to see how passing on Vera-Tucker or not moving up for Slater pans out. The immediate returns on Darrisaw, Davis and Mond aren’t as the...

Re: Vikings QB Kellen Mond test positive for COVID; three QBs including Kirk Cousins expected to miss practice

These analogies miss on one key difference with vaccines, which is your choice impedes on the freedom of others. If you choose not to play for whatever reason, that directly impacts you and the team. When you choose not to get vaccinated, you potentially impact children, the immunocompromised, and ...

Re: A real offensive line, or just another "offensive" line

I think we are all disappointed that Darrisaw is having lingering issues from his surgery in January. Not sure if that impacted his fall in the draft or not. It seems reasonable to have believed he would be further along than he is. My fear is I am starting to wonder if he will need further surgery...

Re: Vikings QB Kellen Mond test positive for COVID; three QBs including Kirk Cousins expected to miss practice

I'm not mad at Cousins or anybody for not being vaccinated, just disappointed. Mainly because it seems like we a headed into a good season and I wouldn't want to see it jeopardized by COVID. We have to remember a few things. The vaccine won't prevent you from getting COVID, it just equips your body...

Re: Vikings QB Kellen Mond test positive for COVID; three QBs including Kirk Cousins expected to miss practice

I see it completely different. He does not mean well. He chooses to put his own interests first over the good of the team which is one of the most selfish things you can do on a team IMO . He is in no position to preach anything "team first". Don't think anyone will take his pregame speec...

Re: Vikings QB Kellen Mond test positive for COVID; three QBs including Kirk Cousins expected to miss practice

It may be that Covid was naturally occurring, that it was being tinkered with in a lab and some doofus infected himself with it and brought it out for the whole world to enjoy, or that it was shipped over here intentionally in vaping oil. None of that matters all that much at this point. We're goin...

Re: A real offensive line, or just another "offensive" line

Looks unlikely Darrisaw or Davis will be starting this year barring injury. Hill, Cleveland, Bradbury, Udoh, O'Neil seems to be the most likely starting lineup, which means we will have a guy who is a solid backup starting at the most important spot on the line. If I were a betting man and I am I w...

Re: Vikings QB Kellen Mond test positive for COVID; three QBs including Kirk Cousins expected to miss practice

I don’t dispute this. But it still doesn’t answer my question. I hear constantly that we don’t know what the long term effects of Covid could be. And I agree, we don’t. So why is it so crazy and selfish when people voice concerns about not knowing what any long term effects of the vaccine could be?...

Re: Vikings QB Kellen Mond test positive for COVID; three QBs including Kirk Cousins expected to miss practice

Just to play devils advocate here, I see many people talking about the long-term unknowns of Covid. And I don't disagree. I had Covid in November and still have some breathing issues this very day. Who knows that Covid survivors will be dealing with in years to come? That said, in your opinion as s...

Re: Vikings QB Kellen Mond test positive for COVID; three QBs including Kirk Cousins expected to miss practice

They were wrong. Ill find the article https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/08/03/kellen-mond-isnt-vaccinated-despite-a-report-that-he-is/ Thanks. That's very unfortunate... Appears Mond is not vaccinated. I think the initial confusion was in an early report that said Mond would only miss 48 h...
