When it came to getting familiar with the plays to be used in the game, Dobbs said he got help from the other quarterbacks on the roster — Sean Mannion and Nick Mullens. Dobbs also was assisted by quarterback coach Chris O’Hara, but getting Dobbs ready was a secondary concern. They had a rookie who would be starting his first NFL game.

Dobbs: “Obviously, they’re getting Jaren ready to play, but Grant [Udinski], another coach in the QB room, I spent a lot of time with him. I think we spent two and a half hours after practice on Friday going through the entire game plan talking about, you know, the plays, the calls, what I knew what was a little fuzzy in my mind, what for him not to call. Going through that with him definitely really helped.”

The time spent getting Dobbs ready was for emergency purposes only. There was no package of plays for Dobbs, in the event Hall was able to finish the game.

“I was only playing if something happened to Jaren,” Dobbs said.

It was an extraordinary performance today from Dobbs, who was traded to the Vikings on Tuesday and led the Vikings to a dramatic comeback win just five days later. Few quarterbacks could have looked as comfortable in a brand-new offense. And no quarterback has ever done what Dobbs did over the last two weeks.

Dobbs’ success raises the question of why the Cardinals were so willing to trade him for such a meager return: The Vikings gave up just a sixth-round draft pick to get Dobbs and a seventh-round pick. Perhaps the Cardinals wanted to trade Dobbs because they’re tanking on the season, and Dobbs was playing too well for them to lose as much as they want to.

Still, even if the Cardinals were prepared to give Dobbs away, some other team should have offered to give up more than the Vikings did. Many NFL teams simply don’t have a backup quarterback they can win with. Dobbs is a backup quarterback teams can win with, and at some point this season, some team that loses with its backup is going to wish it had traded for Dobbs.

Best trade that paid immediate dividens

Unless you consider the trade in which the Vikings acquired TJ Hockenson last year at the deadline when he promptly came in and caught 9 passes for 70 yds in a game they won by 3 pts as well...and who was the opposing QB in that game?  Also Taylor Heinicke.  🤣

but we also paid a higher price for Hockenstein than we did for Dobbs.
