Josh Dobbs traded to the Jaguars for 5th round pick

[FrancoLambert]

What game?

You’re on to Seattle.

[FrancoLambert]

You're right. But the same tired old cliches are getting unbearable. All reports and pictures out of camp showed Ben in better shape than ever. He had slimmed down and looked sharp. He didn't suddenly gain 40 pounds in the last month.

Brady eats nothing but seaweed for pete's sake.

Ben is called Big Ben for a reason. He has always been.........a big guy.

Plus it derailed this post about Dobbs being traded into another whine fest about Ben.

Not instigating here...just responding.
Maybe the cliches are tired and old because we see very little change.
Agree that Ben looked lean in camp...didn’t look lean last night. Must have layed off the shitty cafeteria food at St. Vincent’s and rebounded with some good home cooking.
You got to admit, Brady looks great...maybe there’s something to that seaweed diet.
It did derail the thread...but that often happens here.

The Steelers would never do something this reactionary (for lack of a better word) this early in the season. They would stick it out with 3 QB’s, and make a trade next offseason.

Last Night’s game must’ve frightened the daylights out of the front office.

Nah, they got a 5th round pick for their 3rd string QB, because Jacksonville put their starting QB on IR. Not frightened, they just got an offer they cant refuse for a 3rd year QB with a career stat line of 6 for 12, 50 yards, INT.

[HollywoodSteel]

or do they sign Skipper back?

Skipper is gone. Forever.

Skipper is gone. Forever.

He's dead ? Wow sorry to hear that and talk about a up and down day for him.

[st33lersguy]

At least Hodges made it back

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

To the Steelers ? Never mind and got ya and yep almost everyone I thought had a good preseason they let go.

[Six Rings]

Some positive news.

[Born2Steel]

Maybe this means they are finally making a roster spot for Paxton Lynch!

I’m not sure why bringing in a 3rd QB makes the most sense with this open roster spot. There are teams(not the Steelers obviously) that carry only 2 QBs on the 53. FA signing? Safety/CB help? Guess we’ll find out soon.

Dobbs was a quality young man that gave everything he had to the team and the community. I wish him nothing but success and happiness.

I'm also glad the team got a 5th round draft pick for him.

[DesertSteel]

I’d love to see them flip that 5th rounder for a need right now (take your pick).

[Squeegee Thompson]

We got lucky that Jacksonville went from seemingly set at QB to 'holy shit, we gotta play Gardner Minshew' before they could even get out of the first quarter. What the hell is a 'Gardner Minshew' anyway? It sounds like something you have to use pesticides against to keep from eating your tomato plants.

They kept Dobbs around knowing somebody would need a semi-competent QB at some point, and got lucky that the need arose in Week 1.

Several Dolphins players asked to be traded.

Please, be Mike Gesicki... please, be Mike Gesicki...

Another reason why I'm a fan of your posting.

I could see Gesicki breaking out with a legit starting QB, just not sure they move him.

Id be happy if they got Minkah for a second rounder.

Makes too much sense for Pittsburgh to jump in on that...lol

That trade could come back to bite the Steelers when Ben retires before the end of this season

:dunno:

I mean, lets be honest here. The season is close to sunk already. If Rudolph gets hurt, does it really matter who plays out the season. After that, it is wishful thinking to think we could win games with a 3rd string QB who lost their 2 best weapons in the last 2 seasons.

They said that in New England when Bledsoe went out. They said it in New York when Simms went out. They said it in Pittsburgh when Maddox went out (lol). They said it in St. Louis when Green went out. They said it in Philadelphia when Wentz went out.

Well if you're down to your #3 QB you're screwed anyway. But give Rudolph a chance to show what he's got. Based on his performance vs Seattle, I have some hope.

[Born2Steel]

I like our chances with Rudolph/Duck more than I did with Landry Jones. The QB position at least has been upgraded.

I don’t think Ben retires while on IR.
