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.

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.

Dude is one of the hardest working, most team oriented WRs ever.  Amazing to watch.  

/aside
Just don't interrupt his TD celebration.

I think the real question is who’s the
backup QB going to be?  Does Mullens or
Hall make it back on the active roster? 
I can’t imagine we roll with Dobbs as the only option.

They've already said it would be Mannion.
