OFFICIAL: Dobbs to start Sunday against the Saints
Unsurprisingly, with Jaren Hall in concussion protocol, Kevin O'Connell says Josh Dobbs will start this Sunday's game against the Saints.

If Hall isn't cleared and Nick Mullens remains on IR, Sean Mannion would be the backup.
Yup
No surprise
End speculation now
Congratulations @josh_dobbs1 on yesterday’s big win! Looks like you rock(et) on and off the field. We heard you’ve even got a new nickname, the "Passtronaut." If the suit fits, wear it.🚀 pic.twitter.com/Pah3MuQsWs

Yeah not surprising with the way the league is regarding concussions. It's rare to see someone get their bells rung and suit up to play the next game. We are very fortunate to have the schedule lining up like it has
If Darrisaw is back next week. We are beating New Orleans.
Secret BAgent man threw for 220 and ran for 70 in NO yesterday. Dobbs can do that in Minnesota (especially if JJ returns)
Not to worry, if Dobbs gets hurt Mannion will come in and save the day.
So inspired by the fight of this Vikings team in the face of adversity. Dobbs

is impressive!!!
not surprising, Hall should not be getting starts unless he has a full week to prepare and with him in the CP... well that kills that, with that said, as soon as he is healthy I think we need to be getting him back into the starting role, I know yesterday was exciting, buts I dont think Dobbs is what we are looking for long term, we need to be deciding if Hall can show enough or how much priority we put into the next QB we draft. Nothing against Dobbs, but I just dont think that fairy tale has very many sequels when teams have a chance to prepare for him. He is 6-11 as a participant, but only 1-9 as a starter. Solid back up material, but I want to see Hall when he is healthy.
