I think Kellon is one of those guys who's NFL career will depend highly on who drafts him or who he winds up with. Wish him the best when his NFL opportunity is realized. But for now I'm glad we have him. He's the best QB we have on the roster.
Mond is a LONG way from being a NFL QB.
The Trubisky comp kinda feels spot on in more ways than one. When things are going perfectly Kellen shows all the potential in the world, but he seems to have trouble processing and adjusting to changing environments either on the defense or in the pocket.
This excerpt, to me, explains the frustration many of us feel on game day:
"For the moment, however, Mond is holding himself back in some regard by playing with robotic play patterns. His skill set suggests he should be able to be a playmaker and a creative force, both in and out of the pocket, but Mond is almost exclusively a product of the offensive system. Mond follows the guidelines of a given play to a T, but does not do so with the ruthless efficiency required of a player who can only win in that specific way.
When Mond does put it together on a given play, however, it looks beautiful. Mond plays with decent timing and a striking arm that allows him to execute within the structure of a passing concept with ease."

To be honest if he does 2020 is more likely than not going to be worse than it would have been with Mond staying.BrotherChad said:
PLEASE go to the draft Mond!
Mond leaving means we have a redshirt fish in Calzada at QB who thus far looks EXTREMELY raw or a true fish in King at QB.
If we expect to be contenders in 2020 it isn't as likely to happen in one of those two scenarios.

According to the Biden White House, what Joe Biden says does not represent the official position of the Biden administration.
I expect Mond to be back next season and starting.
I think he needs a lot of improvement in several areas to have a career in the NFL as a QB.

The same people complaining about Mond are the same people complaining that we never have an upperclassman QB.

If my memory serves me correctly, the Aggie Curse will ensure us that Mond becomes an NFL Hall of Famer after beating Kyler Murray in the Super Bowl.

Far from a sip here buddy...my post is just logical. a senior starting QB who's improved every year or a fish who hasn't won anything yet. It's not rocket science.
Kellen goes if he believes he gets beat at the QB1 in the spring or fall. If he thinks he starts next year he likely stays and likely improves in the process:
The article clearly suggests he isn't a day one or two draft prospect this year based on accomplishments at least in comparison to his peers. I don't think he catches Jerry's eye to become a project to keep his development going though more likely than in his senior year re-earning the start if he loses it. Short of injury and a very exciting prospect of a trip to the semis.
But what is great about the article is it cites specific behavior and confirms even our starting QB is still a work in progress.

Ask the 8 Ball.
Drafted ??????????? XFL? Nope
Kellen will play in the NFL Preseason. He will wear the ballcap as the third QB not on the 53 man active roster for two years, and then he will start his real estate career in San Antonio.Round Rock AG said:

Mond is NOT an NFL QB, no way no how.
Mond will never play a down in the NFL. I doubt he'll even grace the sideline.
I wish him the best in the world outside sports.

Seems to be a good kid, but will not make the NFL.

Spell his name right. Ok?
Also, he won't play in the NFL. Not meaningful time.
I am sorry. It is just the truth. Remember when Trey Williams left? Mond's career will be similar.

That, as they say, is rich.
If you compare him to Mahomes, Brady, Brees, Rodgers, Watson, or Wilson he is about as far away from those guys as most posters on Texags are. I am not talking about how fast he can run or how far he can throw it, but I am talking about his ability to read a defense and make quick, smart decisions and throw the ball accurately. He is light years behind those guys and no amount of coaching up will ever get him anywhere close to them.
I think there is a chance that some NFL team might use a 7th round pick on him and see if they can coach him better than Jimbo, but if that happens they will move on within a year or two.

He will get drafted as he will interview well and he will throw to one guy vs. air really well.
He won't finish his rookie contract though.

Many times Mond looks like he is afraid he is going to disappoint Jimbo. May get drafted and then asked to play a different position.
Mond is definitely getting drafted. Playing...well we'll see.
Mond will most likely be drafted by the Patriots in the 6th round and become the greatest QB in NFL history.
Who knows if he gets drafted or not? Some NFL general managers make some really stupid decisions. Busts are not unknown. If he is unable to process game situations in the SEC fast enough, he surely won't be able to in the NFL either. If he gets drafted, or signs as a free agent, his time in the league will be brief.
Mond gets drafted in the late rounds. He fits the flavor of the month. He has decent size and decent mobility.
Mond can make good reads but struggles with slow execution. His slow release is an example of this. No matter the talent of the offensive line, Mond will make them look bad.

Those of you who are saying Mond is not an NFL QB only pay attention to who the starters are. When you start looking at some of the backups Mond has had a better career than a decent amount of them and has better skillsets. NFL teams have between 2 and 3 active quarterbacks at any time, and with injuries quite a few teams have had 4+ quarterbacks suit up during a season.
Any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still know where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.

Also just as a reference to see what a later round QB looks like:
TJ Yates Round 5 pick 152
2007:
218/365, 59.7% completion 2,655 yards, 14 TD, 18 INT
2008:
81/135, 60.0% completion, 1,158 yards, 11 TD, 4 INT
2009:
214/355 60.3% completion, 2,136 yards, 14 TD, 15 INT
2010:
282/422, 66.8% completion, 3,418 yards, 19 TD, 9 INT
Tom Savage 4th round pick 135
2009:
149/285, 52.3% completion, 3,311 yards, 14 TD, 7 INT
2010:
42/83, 51.8% completion, 521 yards, 2 TD, 3 INT
2013:
238/389, 61.2% completion, 2,958 yards, 21 TD, 9 INT
Based off this Mond could go anywhere between the 3rd round to the 6th round if he stays until his senior year.

Physically he is a better athlete than many starters, but I think between the ears pretty much every #2 QB in the NFL is better.
