Is starting Josh Dobbs the right call? Purple Access

The Minnesota Vikings decided to roll with Josh Dobbs as the starting quarterback on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Was it the right decision?

There are many ways to look at how the Vikings should have handled the quarterback situation. Kevin O’Connell didn’t wait until practice for the week began and named Dobbs the starter on Wednesday morning. That allowed the Vikings to focus on the week at hand without having to worry about anything.

Why did the Vikings choose Dobbs over Nick Mullens and Jaren Hall? It’s a complicated question. It boils down to who is going to give you the best chance to win the game. It also has to do with who you have in the locker roomand how they feel about the players.

Did the Vikings make the right decision? All of that and more on the latest episode of Purple Access on the Purple Daily YouTube channel.
