Vikings Sign Corral
Minnesota Vikings
@Vikings
The #Vikings have signed QB Matt Corral and placed QB J.J. McCarthy on IR.
I don't know what people have against Mullens. Yeah, he threw some picks last year but he's not afraid to make plays and knows the offense the best of any of the backups.
Hall doesn't look like he's made a leap from last year. One nice TD throw and a lot of short inaccurate ones. Corral is a camp arm and a long shot.
If we're looking to upgrade behind Darnold, we should bring in Tannehill. Otherwise, Mullens is a perfectly serviceable backup.

You can't win games with a QB who throws multiple picks & it's not like what we saw from Mullens last season was an aberration. His lifetime interception rate is around 4% per pass attempt. As a comparison, Trubisky & Garoppolo are around 2.5%. Those 400 yard passing games that you'll get from Mullens sure look nice but the multiple picks are game killers. Mullens has reached his ceiling. He is what he is, a gunslinger.
I do agree with you regarding Hall. I do hope though that with the proper investment, Hall can become a game manager level QB.
Mullens is reckless and a gunslinger....
But he knows the offense. I think a team could role with him a game or 2, but not 1/2 a season.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Among the 100 or so QBs currently in the NFL, it is a little hard to believe that Tannehill isn't better than one or two of them. Must be a money thing.
With only Hall and Corral on the roster behind Darnold, Mullens is such a crucial part of this team. With all his faults, when he comes in at QB, you at least know you can run your full offense.
I'd rather watch Hall than any of these backup slugs. Corrall had alcohol issues? Well he looked like he was drunk on Saturday.
As much as we have a decent roster, with even the putrid CB room being helped by Gilmore's arrival, the QB position definitely has the ability to undo it all this year.
