Joshua Dobbs

[86WARD]

Just put that here for a minute.

Another player that looks better in a real offense…

[tube517]

Also his teammate James Conner is having a good year.

But yeah Dobbs beat a good defense vs Dallas and scored 16 against the Niners

Having an OC who can set up the QB in an offense that can convert 3rd downs must be nice.

Another team rebuilding but not laying a turd in the field

Dobbs is definitely a better back up QB than Trubisky or Rudolph…Tomlin screwed the pooch on that one.

Dobbs is fun to watch too…lol.

5th team in last two seasons and just brought the Vikings back for what appears to be a win…

Yeah....the cascade of stupid that begins after you say: "You know, I think we should bring in Mitchell Trubisky..." is almost never ending.

agreed, Steelers just have me scratching my head on their player evaluations and moves. Dobbs > MR > MT, yet the steelers seem to have it in reverse.

I think many here forget that they were convinced Dobbs sucked or had a low ceiling. I won't call out names, but here are some posts

Dobbs offers nothing

He's the modern version of Charlie Batch. Just there for his knowledge.

There is no way Dobbs would ever be a starter in this league but Haskins and Rudolph could.

the Steelers should have taken Desmond King instead of wasting the pick on Dobbs

When people are clamoring for Josh Dobbs and Duck Hodges, you know there’s problems.

Those all sound like things I might've said!

[Steeler-in-west]

Maybe some of us are quick to judge but really, Dobbs never got a chance here. Maybe Ben still being around had something to do with it

[BlackAndGold]

The new Ryan Fitzpatrick.

[Mojouw]

To be fair to the posters on here and the Steelers....about a half dozen teams have now decided that Dobbs isn't for them. In addition to the teams that have not attempted to sign him or trade for him.

I am happy for the guy and having his OC explain the play call that he just made as Dobbs was walking to the line of scrimmage is darn impressive. But...almost everyone associated with the NFL has evaluated him as "Thanks, but no thanks."

[tube517]

I believe I said the comparison to Batch.

Nothing I said wasn't true. He was not in the QB room to be the backup. Ben wanted him there as an extra set of eyes on the field.

So, I'm glad for Dobbs' success. It didn't work out here because he never got a shot.

I still stand by my statement.

Am I the Charlie Batch comment? . I feel like that’s how I felt at the time…

I watched the Vikings game and I thought Dobbs did well. People seem surprised that he’s actually a QB. I can remember watching him at UT and thinking, this guy throws a beautiful deep ball. Why can’t he hit intermediate slants and crosses?

He has gotten better with those.

He did look more accurate and controlled on those intermediate throws than he did as a Steeler..

I think he started a game against the Raidets where he missed the broadside of a barn a few times.

Yeah, I always thought that as a Steeler he looked at 1 REC and then took his eyes off the receivers downfield and started scrambling. And his intermediate passing wasnt great. Was more apt to make plays with his legs instead of his arm. He is a backup and good to see him having some success. A likeable player, but not anybody's long term answer at QB.

I think this may have been my statement but I also recall being one of the few here that wanted Dobbs as the backup before he became the backup and was a little miffed he didn't retain it once he got it because for me it wasn't clear that Mason actually won the job it seemed more like he was gifted it based on draft pos....

Lol if I didn't post it I was thinking it. I can't remember but I really think it was me.

I'm really happy for him. I bet Ben is very proud!

I think I always said I like Dobbs and thought he could do some things. I thought he wasn't a great player, but was underrated.

We need that link here in this thread! Just in case I'm full of shit with my 20/20 hindsight.

[fansince'76]

Has it ever occurred to anyone that Dobbs may just be this year's Derek Anderson and that as soon as the clock strikes midnight and opposing teams have enough film on him, he turns back into a pumpkin?

"Interesting. I always liked Dobbs. He's a great teammate and is great in the community. He showed the ability to make big plays and use his athleticism. He makes mistakes, but he was a much more explosive player and was a legitimate threat to make something happen. I would be good with that move.

I think Dobbs is an upgrade right now. I guess it's whether they think Duck has a higher ceiling. Only the team can answer that."



That was my quote about him. Pretty much how I remember it.
