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.

That's a steal for us. He seems pretty good from afar.

We basically got a competent QB for free. Much better value than the Sam Bradford trade!

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

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.

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.

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.

Good Question. I think Hall will start Sunday.

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.

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.
