why does everyone think a team need a QB that is completely flawless? even the best QBs ever had bad games LOL no one QB is perfect…just bcuz dobbs lost one game and looked off vs the bears (btw, i dont blame the loss on dobbs vs the broncos, he played solid), that doesnt mean everyone should panic and start talking about the next vikings QB of the future…there are as many mid to late round QBs that are successful as there are first round QBs. the loss vs the bears is more on KOC…why the heck he did not game plan to dobbs strenght vs game planning as if dobbs is cousins? i thought coaches talk about playing to the strenght of the players and build around that, yet still in the teams focus and direction? what i saw vs the bears is dobbs seemingly did not even try to run away from defenders on his AZZ…it seemed so forced and unnatural, nothing like the first two games where dobbs just used his legs and his mobility to create big plays, which he did. i dont think there were any designed run plays for dobbs…on the other hand, fields killed the vikings with his mobility, running for first downs and big yards…this i believe was the big difference in a win or a loss…fields used his mobility to find the open receivers, especially on their game winning drive…vikings didnt even try to use dobbs mobility on their last attempt to run out the clock after recovering the last fumble of the game…to do RPOs (giving them more than one option), instead ran the ball directly into a pile of defenders twice LOL dobbs couldve easily ran around the pile and gained more yards than the RB running straight into a pile of mess LOL Game planning to dobbs strenght allows street ball style game that i think best suited for dobbs…bcuz timing throws to what seems like sh/tty route running (sometimes two defenders breaking in the same space/area bringing along several defenders with them in that same space creates a better percentage of an incomplete, a blocked pass, or an INT)…also the lack of presence on third down to get a first down, receivers are running short of the first down…and bcuz sh/t like this happen, it reflects back on dobbs more than the receivers just like the two passes that shouldve been caught but bounced of the receivers hands and into the defender for an INT. and the OLINE protection was bad most of the game…the big picture was an offense/KOC failure, not just dobbs
Viking will never have a good QB!! Ever ! If they don’t keep Kirk, and they’ll never win a superbowl if they never have QB!!right now all qb, is just mediocre qb!! Not even average !!!
Dobbs is trash that's why 6 or 7 teams got rid of him ….we must see what Jaren Hall can do or it will mess up our draft next year…..!! Very mismanaged very incompetent organization!!!!
I think we should dub this the 3-2 defense. 3 linemen. 2 linebackers. Pace and Wonnum rotate in to make it an occasional 3-3-5 or 3-4 look. But mostly running with 3+ safeties or 5+ DBs.
