The Vikings will spend the next few days deciding which of their three quarterbacks is -- among other things -- best suited to maximize Justin Jefferson's skills, coach Kevin O'Connell said Tuesday.
Dobbs was clearly riding the hot hand. I think this past game was evidence that KOC wants a guy that can play within the pocket. Honestly, it felt like KOC kept Dobbs out there and basically said prove to me you can throw well.
The closest KOC came to endorsing Dobbs as the guy for the rest of the season was in a film room session on vikings.com last week where he said something like “We’ve got a bunch of good options, but I don’t really want to be starting a bunch of different quarterbacks this year. It’s hard to win like that”.
I definitely agree that they should decide who they want the starter to be this week, so that when the team’s back in the building next week they can put all of their effort into installing a gameplan around that player’s strengths and weaknesses. I really hope we don’t hear about any kind of rep splitting QB competition in practices, there just isn’t enough time to be doing something like that at this point in the season.
When you have not 2 but 3 qbs you have no QB lol
