Josh Dobbs immediately became the Steelers backup QB. Landry Jones is straight garbage.
Perfect situation for Dobbs. He needed some development time and that's a great spot to do it. He'll surprise now that he can focus on football full time. I don't think people realize how much his class load took a toll in terms of football. He did it all but it still takes away.

yeah, not to mention if BB goes down, Josh could be starting really, really fast.
Starting is probably not best long term money maker

I'm not saying it is. He needs a year of actual coaching from an actual coach. However, he could see starts if Ben goes down.
Also, it is funny that Josh was taken at the exact same pick that Dak was last year Number 135.

They said how well he took coaching at senior bowl. Reminded me of subtle your college coach sucked comments Miles use to get

I think that Butch held him back a ton. It is possible that Big Ben and those steeler coaches could whip him into a decent NFL starter.

He seems like someone that would soak up right coaching

Not having a QB coach hurt some but not more than never being allowed to redshirt due to injuries and his class load. First semester of his senior year was a murder load in his major and that's football season. Fall semesters stacked hard against Dobbs' ability to be 100 percent locked in.

I mean I totally agree with what you were trying to say. Just next time don't use Tom Brady as an example.
It'll give people wrong impressions.
Of course, every poster here would accept the chance at an NFL contract.
Now, who would be good is a different story.

Dobbs would also get to hand it off to Leveon, and throw it to AB, Martavis, Rogers, and Green.
Not to mention the Steelers beastly OL.
Perfect situation for him.

Dobbs just went higher in the draft than BOTH Casey Clausen AND Eric Ainge. I'd say he did aight.

Agreed. Going to be interesting to see how Dobbs develops behind Ben and with actual coaching. He's definitely smart enough and has all the tools to be a good quarterback imo

Were Casey and Ainge poorly coached? Fair question given Dobbs just went higher than both. Some guys take a bit longer and others like Dobbs are better than they're actually given credit for. Take a look at where he stands at UT -- 8 yards behind Manning.

I think Dobbs is exponentially more talented than either Clausen or Ainge imo.

I do too but most UT fans would never say that. They think he's slaw despite the record setting performances but that tends to happen with both recency and being on a team that starts off your career by going bowless rather than when Casey and Ainge played.

If you have a chance to potentially play football for a living, even if for a short period of time, you take it. The engineering stuff will be there when he is done.

I think it depends on position, and how much harm you are willing to do to your body
Low impact position like QB sure you go, but this kid has one of the highest opportunity cost in league

I wasn't taking anything away from Dobbs. I think you misinterpreted what I was saying.
My point is that Dobbs was outstanding as a college QB despite being erratic sometimes. He could have been much better developed under a different staff and having an actual QB coach instead of a grad assistant.
Imagine if he had a guy like Cutcliffe coaching him up like Ainge did.
