QB Nick Mullens is now a Viking

One thing I noticed about Nick is he never took a real shot downfield, everything was 5-10 yard throws, which is fine when it's his first start.
Also he got blitzed I think 1 time the whole game, where CJ faced a blitz probably 9-10 times a game.
Still proud for BDN! I hope he starts against big blue!

Well Well Well,where are the NOODLE-ARMED naysayers ?where you at....oooh i did say earlier in the post that he would be alright.......Well I guess its back to CJ Molasses........ Nick has a faster Processor then CJ Molasses...but its back to turnover zone.

I'm right here....I was wrong....Go Nick!!!

I was wrong as well. His ball placement previously looked much worse. Only had a few bad throws. He looked solid out there. And deserves a start next.


Still though it's not fair to write C.J. off as being worse when teams had more than 2 days to study him. Plus C.J. didn't have the luxury of playing against a defense close to as bad as the raiders . Rams. Chargers. Cardinals. Packers even have a better D and C.J. looked great out there. Made throws that Nick dreams of making.

Do your best Brett Faver impression and throw 40 yard picks.

was it just me or did this guy look a lot like Jimmy out there. quick release and then that side arm pass to get the pass out with pressure in his face. this boy has a good zip to his passes too.

he definitely got blitzed way more. however it makes a difference when you get the ball out on time and have a faster release

Hopefully he's not just another Matt Flynn. Flynn was a one game wonder who threw for 400+ and 6 TDs against the playoff bound Lions in week 17 of the 2011 season. He landed a contract with Seattle based off that but flamed out in a hurry and never wound up starting for them.

Mullens will need to win multiple games and beat a couple decent teams before he can be crowned.

But Beathard on the other hand, if a backup can fetch a 4th to 6th round pick I'd take that for sure if Mullens keeps looking like this.

I would never trade him. Especially with Jimmy and CJ getting hit alot.

Totally agree. BDN has a very quick release.
