i mean, did everyone really think dobbs' ascent was going to keep shooting up like it had been, the last couple of weeks? he's coming back down to Earth now, there's a reason he's been nothing more than a journeyman backup (nothing wrong with that, that's just the ceiling for most guys at the position) during his time in the NFL.
There are plenty of guys that don’t really find their footing until they are 27 or 28, but I mean he has jumped so many teams this year alone… he probably does deserve a legit shot with a training camp, but he most likely is just a high end backup type… capable of giving you some great relief games in a pinch, but not sustainable lol..
Honestly he was a front page ESPN story today and was probably forcing things a bit more than usual because of that

It can happen to some more than others as once the tape gets made and reviewed, defense has better tendencies to cover/react.
Guys like BEN ROETHLISBERGER over came those shortfalls, guys like Dobbs tend to get held in check a little more.
Dobbs has a great story and I wish him the best moving forward, unless we face them.
Salute the nation
With much reservations considering who our backups are.
Personally---I love it!
Defense ---defense ---defense...

The only thing that is more annoying of the mention od Dobbs and the rocket science......is people saying he will be a real good coach one day.
Dobbs is the same guy he's always been. He's the modern day Ryan Fitzpatrick. He'll have a few good/great games, then recede back to why he's a backup.
Your being very kind this morning Supe...

Defenses are not playing defense of old.....football in general just looks lousy. From top to bottom.
eh, I like Dobbs. I've liked him since he started for my Vols. I'm just aware of his limitations, even if he's the smartest guy on the field.
well, the defense is being fined for hits and tackles, so to protect their checkbook...

The rocket ship has landed back on earth. Seriously, I really like this young man. What’s not to like about him.,.,.Very intelligent with a great career ahead of him outside of football but he’s strictly a backup in the NFL and as Supe mentioned, he’s like Fitzpatrick, some good games but not consistently.
He’ll get some more starts this year and hopefully he can rebound but imo I think he’s strictly a backup which isn’t really a bad thing. They get paid too.

Great point! I really never thought about that.
I think announcers can still refer to Dobbs as a Rocket Scientist not just because of his degree, but because he continues to intern at NASA in the offseason.
Tgere is a real good reason Ben loved him as a backup. He noted things from the sidelines and relayed them to Ben.The only thing that is more annoying of the mention od Dobbs and the rocket science......is people saying he will be a real good coach one day.
Often guys who are able to see all the angles on the field in their head aren’t physically able to take advantage on the field… those guys make good coaches…
I remember when he was here and played in preseason games if his first read wasn’t open in two seconds then he’d take off running. Experience and better coaching can help with that but I was not impressed.
Also he would be far better of going into coaching after his career ends. Entry level rocket scientist make the same as entry level coaches… average salary of a rocket scientist is about 127 k a year… a good nfl assistant can easily top that… and top end rocket scientist still make under 200k… top end head coaches and coordinators can make millions

A rocket scientist coach...lol
I think there is a lot of players if put in right situation can flourish. It's only the guys who have been to three four teams and still suck are really busts.
