The Minnesota Vikings have been in a bind ever since they lost quarterback Kirk Cousins. They have started four quarterbacks so far in the 2023 season and each of them have had at least two starts.
Jaren Hall got his second start against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night and he was pulled after a poor performance in the first half. After the game, Hall spoke to the media and had a very mature response to his benching.
“If I was coach, I’d make the same decision.”
It’s difficult to fault head coach Kevin O’Connell for the decision. Hall turned the ball over two times and threw for just 67 yards on 5-of-10 passing. The rookie from BYU was a fifth-round draft pick and showed that he wasn’t ready for the spot.3
Now, it wasn’t all on him. The entire team didn’t play well and it started with the head coach. The Vikings have just one more game to right the ship before going into the offseason, as they need a ton of help to make the playoffs.
