Truth be told, I don’t know who should start at QB, so this post is in no way meant to be a case for why Mullens to start over Dobbs or Hall. I think there are valid arguments for all three, but a portion of the fanbase seems to be excessively sour on Mullens, which is shocking to me. The guy has reliably demonstrated the ability to operate an NFL offense throughout his entire career. He has the 11th most passing yards for a player ever in their first 16 starts. That’s not to say he’s a hall of famer, or that he’ll be great, but he wouldn’t be a bad option moving forward.
If Dobbs didn’t play like he did, Hall would’ve kept going. The problem was Dobbs got hot and why take out a guy that had juice. Now the problem the Vikings have 3 options, 2 of which we have seen before and 1 unknown and the team is still in playoff contention.
Mullens is the boring, vanilla choice but will most likely be able to make the most of the passing game of the 3. Hall might be better, but we haven’t seen it and the coaches have at least seen it in practice. Got 2 weeks to evaluate.
