Love this move as long as we did not give up too much!
Not a flashy QB, but high IQ and mobile. If he does well, we can extend him a couple of years for cheap until our new QB is ready...whoever that is.

Re: Vikings acquire Dobbs
That's a steal for us. He seems pretty good from afar.

Re: Vikings acquire Dobbs
We basically got a competent QB for free. Much better value than the Sam Bradford trade!

Re: Vikings acquire Dobbs
Do we think this is cause Hall looked bad in practice or is more of a safety measure incase he looks bad Sunday?

Re: Vikings acquire Dobbs
Probably because he's a 5th round rookie that was taken as a flier and he's not someone that can be counted on to succeed.allday1991 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 31, 2023 1:00 pm Do we think this is cause Hall looked bad in practice or is more of a safety measure incase he looks bad Sunday?

Re: Vikings acquire Dobbs
Didn't really want to give up any draft assets. This is so minimal for someone who has been under center this year however. Think he's a high character, and high iq, guy.

Re: Vikings acquire Dobbs
Just looked at his wiki. Had no idea he has been in the league as long as he has. He seems serviceable and they got him dirt cheap. Good move.

Re: Vikings acquire Dobbs
Much better (and less expensive) trade than i thought they would get in such a short time. Dobbs should be happy, he has never been on an offense like ours.

Re: Vikings acquire Dobbs
Wasn't expecting them to go for a big name at QB, so it's not like I'm here furious at the move. Serviceable QB for the team given the unfortunate circumstance of losing Cousins.
Does beg the question of what the team is going to do at QB come the offseason. Do they re-sign. Cousins or do they draft one?

We literally didn't have a QB behind Hall. They had to bring on somebody.allday1991 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 31, 2023 1:00 pm Do we think this is cause Hall looked bad in practice or is more of a safety measure incase he looks bad Sunday?
