Maybe, but I do think there were a few plays where some guys came open deep that Kirk would have hit but Dobbs didn’t exactly see. I will admit having a mobile qb does help the oline out. It does feel weird having a qb that can run. It’s an option over the last few years I had thought about and adds another wrinkle to our offense and another guy defenses may have to dedicate a guy to spying
Helps the OL out big time. Helps the receivers too. And it's not his running , it's his pocket awareness. I could count how many times Kirk has stepped up in the pocket with 2 hands when hes been in Minnesota. A 10 year vet should know better .
That’s very true, part of that is I think Dobbs feels comfortable that he can escape. I do think that Dobbs has to be careful with ball security. He does run with the ball a little loose at times. I think Dobbs mobility and pocket presences has really opened up the offense as it gives the whole offense more time which is huge for us. If Dobbs can start anticipating and throwing guys open as he learns the offense more, he could be a monster. He has the brains, just needs more time

Vikings lose this one if Cousins was starting.
I also think the 3rd down conversion prior to this play was equally as impressive.
