What's the worst that could happen? 
We lose (again).

What's the best that can happen?
We find out whether or not Jaren Hall has real potential as an NFL starter.
We find out now if Jaren Hall is a bust (rather than wonder) going into the offseason.
We ascertain whether we need to burn an early round pick on another QB (Bo Nix?)
Jaren Hall proves that he can back up Cousins for a year or two (or he flushes himself out).

I think this is the right move.
And I think this means that Mullens is gone as a backup and so is Dobbs.

Found some stats on turnovers.  As of today, Trevor Lawrence and Sam Howell lead the NFL with 19 total turnovers in 15 games played.
Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts are tied for third with 18 total turnovers each. 
Dobbs has 17 in 13 games played, followed by Mahomes with 16 in 15 games.

But if you added all the QBs for the Vikings together:
Cousins:  9 in eight games (plus 7 fumbles, four lost in 8 games)
Mullens:  6 in two games (plus 2 fumbles, none lost in two games)
Dobbs:  17 total, but 6 with Vikings (to go along with 6 fumbles, 3 lost in 5 games)
So all of our QBs combined have turned the ball over 28 times it appears. 

Hall is the only Vikings QB who has not turned the ball over this season.

I just hope the "don't turn the ball over" mantra hasn't been engraved into his head so much that he plays scared to make throws. Not having some of our best weapons in the passing game could compound that, but hey, happy he is getting an opportunity

It may take several starts or a season or two to really guage Jaren Hall. This upcoming game is a good one for him to start especially with the defense having little tape on him, next week may be more similar to a preseason game where Detroit rest many of its starters.
As for turnovers, thankfully he didn't turn it over in those two series he was in.

I'll be rooting for him and I hope he either turns out to be a future Vikings full time starter, a very good backup, or a player who could potentially be traded for a good draft pick. Either way I don't plan on getting overly excited, or upset, until I've watched several games of him in action. Hopefully, he takes advantage of his opportunities and goes out there and kicks some butt.
