He seems like a Taylor Heinicke to me, someone who could come in and win some games. When Hooker fell into the 3rd, I didn't see any reason not to move up and go get him, especially since it doesn't seem to me that we got a lot of value with our 3rd and 4th rounders.
I was thinking maybe we have our new Sloter.
Seems about the opposite of sloter. There was a physical specimen with little between his ears. Made for great preseason highlights against non-NFL level competition.
Hall may be lacking the physical traits in some aspects, but seems to have the mental capacity to be a long term NFL QB.
Exactly, I'd call him the anti-Sloter actually.
I was thinking more along the line of how the board is going to react to him. Some will be banging a drum for him after Cousins throws a pick.
Hardly unique to sloter, the backup QB is the most popular player on any team that doesn't have a franchise QB.
That doesn't explain why sloter was popular.
because he was athletic and looked decent against the players he was put up against. he didnt get moved up, even though the back up looked like about as appealing as a cup of warm piss.

I will try again. That doesn't explain the Sloter popularity... B)

Sloter was popular because he was phenomenal in the preseason. Just ridiculous numbers. 1222 yards, 11 TDS, 1 INT. 74% completion percentage. But nobody was calling for him to replace Cousins. That I'm aware of.
I think Todd Bouman is the name everyone's looking for. Whenever Culpepper had a bad game, the Bouman talk would heat up.

We wanted sloter to replace Mannion.

I wanted a fence post or tree stump to replace Mannion.

Vikings have a chance with this kid. I think once the Vikings removed Levis from their draft board, it was either move up big, presumably for AR, or take Hall late.
He may never be more than a QB2, but maybe the Vikings finally get lucky on a drafted QB. They're certainly due.

So this is like a 35 yard pass just effortlessly dropped into a bucket. He barely stepped into it. I think his arm is stronger than the narrative.
Here's a 55 yard pass that seemed to not require that much effort. Calm in the pocket, stepped up and tossed a dime. Threw right from the 50 yd line and the WRer caught it 5 yards deep in the end zone.
