It feels like the Vikings could have a new starting quarterback when they return to Minnesota after their bye week.

Asked about a potential change after the Vikings embarrassed themselves on Monday Night Football with a 12-10 loss to the Chicago Bears, head coach Kevin O’Connell declined to commit to journeyman quarterback Josh Dobbs moving forward. He instead mentioned both veteran quarterback Nick Mullens and rookie quarterback Jaren Hall as options while leaving the door wide open for speculation.

That’s nearly impossible to do when the man under center is turning the ball over at an alarming rate. As fun as the past month has been with Dobbs leading the charge, he has eight turnovers in four games, and that can’t be overstated given the circumstances. Frankly, it’s reason enough for the Vikings to consider making a switch.

“You’re going to have to find some of those chunks in the passing game,” O’Connell said. “You’ve got to be able to do it without the risk of feeling like we’re going to turn the football over.”
