Earlier in the week, Kevin O’Connell revealed that Nick Mullens would once again be Minnesota’s QB1. What he didn’t reveal, though, was what was going to happen at QB2.
During his Friday press conference, O’Connell cleared up the mystery.
Joshua Dobbs, not Jaren Hall, is going to be the primary backup. As a result, The Passtronaut will be a single snap away from getting inserted into the game. Plus, the team has the freedom to insert Dobbs into the lineup if there is a special play/package designed for him. Hall, as the emergency QB, can only get inserted into the game if there’s an injury to the top two options.
