The Vikings have decided to give rookie QB Jaren Hall another start on Sunday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers, a critical border battle with the loser being eliminated from playoff contention.
For the Vikings, similar to the 49ers a year ago, they’re hoping Hall can come in and produce well enough to win and keep their postseason hopes alive. And every fanbase hopes an obscure Day 3 pick turns out to be elite player ala Tom Brady. The truth of course is that a Day 3 pick at any position, let alone quarterback, is lucky to get a single start in an NFL game, and performing at an elite level is extremely rare.
