Hard to gauge how effective he might’ve been with the walking wounded out there on offense, but I agree. The skill position group has been mostly bad for weeks.

CriminalMind Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Real talk. I would not have Dobbs active next week. Mullens and Hall show. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolmonite26 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 So the real story coming out of this game is.... How many injuries did the team sustain, and who healthy anymore? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm not sure what the disconnect is or where it's happening. Dobbs in particular was certainly not helped by his skill players. They won't be counted as drops I don't think, but there were 6 catchable passes "dropped." Some of them would have been difficult catches, sure, but this team needs it's playmakers to step up and no one, effect JJ of course, seems willing to do that. It so difficult to have any faith in this offense going forward, but maybe they figure things out. Ps- I think they just need to move on from Dobbs. The hospital balls are just too much of a problem I'll agree Dobbs and Mullens are serviceable QBs, but Dobbs' accuracy was a HUGE problem today. Sure JJ made a play on one of those bad throws and it knocked if out of the game. The only two I'd consider drops were KJ's. The biggest problem for Dobbs was his timing. Second, I think he let's mistakes rattle him; it's like after that first near-pick on the out to JJ caused him to overthink his throws. He saw or felt things that weren't there. Mullens at least turned it loose on time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcticNorseman Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Shout out to the defense . . . That was a rookie QB forced to look like a rookie. They couldn't run it; they didn't convert 3rd downs, especially on the second half. And, the D got take-aways. Say, what ya want, but if Flores keeps these guys playing at this level, and ascending, the Vikes will go a long way in the playoffs! 💯 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd have given us a chance to make The Playoffs, and maybe win the first game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been literally looking for a franchise quarterback since Fran and Browning wasn’t good enough to even be a backup with us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all thought KOC, The QB Guru, would be able to "coach UP our QB prospects. But, apparently, an NFL Head Coach has too many different obligations to be able to spend much time with ANY of the QBs, including the #1, to improve their development tracks.
