Kwesi Adofo-Mensah (born October 12, 1981) is an American football executive who is the general manager of the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League (NFL).
The Minnesota Vikings find themselves at a crossroads as they come down to the final stretch of the season. Since Kirk Cousins went down, the Vikings have started two other quarterbacks, Jaren Hall and Josh Dobbs, hoping to void the hole that Cousins left. Jaren Hall went down in his first game as a starter to a concussion that knocked him out for the next two weeks. Josh Dobbs was then called upon to be the savior. Dobbs has gone 2-1 as the starter, but many wonder if he is he the best option at quarterback moving forward. The decision marks a critical juncture of a promising young talent in Jaren Hall against the experience and stability offered by the veteran Josh Dobbs.
- The decision between a rookie quarterback and a journeyman quarterback in never an easy decision for coaching staffs to make. The Vikings must carefully evaluate the short-term gains of Dobbs’ NFL experience against the long-term potential embodied by Hall. Is the promise of a bright future worth the potential growing pains that come with starting a rookie quarterback? Hall’s ability to adapt to the NFL’s faster pace and more complex defensive schemes is an unknown factor thus far. After a shaky first drive in his debut, Hall did bounce back quickly, marching the Vikings down the field before he eventually got injured.
