The were eliminated from the playoffs after Sunday's lo s to the , the third time in four years the franchise has failed to reach the postseason. Head coach Mike Zimmer's fate is hanging in the balance, although another failure to reach the postseason may have already determined his job with the Vikings.With one game to play against the Matthew Boyd Jersey , there's nothing to play for in Minnesota. The Vikings can't finish with a winning record and are eliminated from the postseason. This would be a perfect opportunity to play rookie third-round quarterback right?A frustrated Zimmer clearly isn't making that a po sibility."Not particularly," Zimmer said Denny Mclain Jersey when asked if he wants to take a look atMond next week. "I see him every day." "Do you want to see Kellen Mond next week?""Not particularly."Mike Zimmer is stone cold Will Brinson (@WillBrinson) Mond did get in Sunday's lo s to the Packers, completing 2 of 3 pa ses for five yards in the fourth quarter Alan Trammell Jersey replacing an injured . Mond almost threw an interception on the po se sion which the Vikings went three-and-out. Zimmer replaced Mond with Mannion on the next series. Mond not getting the start in a must-win game for the Vikings was telling of what Zimmer thought of him prior to his comments after the game. He chose to play Mannion, a journeyman backup who threw just 74 pa ses Detroit Tigers Jersey in seven seasons, over a third-round pick.

Zimmer said he "didn't want to talk about next week" when asked if Cousins would start if he cleared COVID protocols.Zimmer clearly isn't thinking about the future of the Vikings, nor does he feel like Mond deserves an opportunity to start in a meaningle s finale. Whether Mond impre ses or stinks up the joint, Cousins has a cap number of $45 million next year -- and the Vikings save nothing in salary cap space if they release him Leonys Martin Jersey . Playing Mond may not be worth much for Zimmer, but Minnesota invested a third-round pick on him. Sooner or later, the organization will have to determine if Mond can play the position.
