lol, don't get too excited, its just my two cents. I watched the game yesterday in almost its entirety....was outside enjoying the weather and few beers and took it in. 

  • The offensive line he had to work with was atrocious, let's start there. So all the problems that a bad backup O-line engenders was there to deal with for him.
  • When he has a little time, he's got nice tools: accurate, good touch, plenty of arm. Stocky built young guy. 
  • He's still raw in reading a defense and locking in on primary WRer on a play. Typical young QB stuff. Tons to learn. Looks to run quickly.
  • Very good mobility and although I'm sure he was nervous with his first significant playing time, he was mostly calm. He'll step up in the pocket looking to pass downfield if he gets a second or two (few and far between yesterday). 
It's the 3rd preseason game where both teams had a lot of garbage playing out there, but I got a sense this kid might have a chance. He has playmaking ability. He was more accurate than I anticipated. To me, he looked so much better than Kellen Mond ever looked his rookie year (I know, a low bar). If he would have had the pass protection that the other QB had, he would have looked a ton better. I just felt like he had a bit of a presence. My guess is the team definitely keeps 3 QBs on their active roster to hold onto Hall. I saw some good things, although it was a mixed bag for sure which is to be expected. I don't know....there's something about him.

Yep, this is one of the plays I was most impressed with. Not bad analysis here by Kyle Sloter, like the old adage: 'those that can't do, teach'.

Some good analysis of Hall.  I just noticed on the int that the Cardinals defender tackled his own man as he was trying to take off lol.  So very Cardinals.

I was thinking, Sloter finally contributed something to the Vikings.

I too was impressed with Hall's work in the pocket on that review, he's got more going on than I realized.   Not sure what was up with the deep ball that landed so far off the mark.    I still like the upside, but the unfortunate thing is he won't play again until next August and the playing reps are where development really happens for a kid like him.  You could see him progress from game to game this month, which is a good thing.

I'm glad others saw what I saw. The only reason I even watched this game was to see this kid play because KOC mentioned he'd play at least 2 quarters.

He completely anticipated contact on that deep flutter ball.  The LG was getting pushed into his space and so he didn't step into it.   JTOS mentions that this was unacceptable, but IMO it was just another point he needs to work on.
