Why it doesn’t matter who the Vikings backup quarterback is in 2019

We have reached the point of the preseason where jobs are officially on the line. The Minnesota Vikings are no exception to this as players on the roster bubble or those jockeying for position on the Vikings’ depth chart will be going all out during the team’s final two exhibition games to see if they can make an impression on Mike Zimmer and his coaching staff.
