re: What is the big deal with Joshua Dobbs?

Dobbs (2014 predicted)

Passing - 241/384 (62.7%) 2,613 YDS 20 TD 13 INT
Rushing - 225 ATT 1017 YDS 17 TDs (4.5 YPA)

Of course, this is a stupid extrapolation, because Dobbs played the following defenses (total defense ranked):

#12 Alabama (267 YDS, 2 TD, 1 INT)
#94 South Carolina (467 YDS, 5 TD, 1 INT)
#77 Kentucky (345 YDS, 4 TD)
#23 Missouri (208 YDS, 1 TD, 1 INT)
#70 Vanderbilt (183 YDS, 2 TD, 2 INT)
#22 Iowa (205 YDS, 3 TD 1 INT)

It looks like Dobbs made hay (812 YDS 9 TD 1 INT; 406 YPG, 4.5 TD/G, 0.5 INT/G) against two terrible defenses in SCAR and UK and then was pretty mediocre-to-bad against the rest of the schedule (863 YDS 8 TD 5 INT; 215.8 YPG, 2 TD/G, 1.2 INT/G).

To put it in perspective, Justin Worley (who was not a threat with his legs at all and whose per-game yardage average included -105 rushing yards) had the following game averages in the first 7 games:

210.6 YPG
2.1 TD/G
1.1 INT/G

Dobbs is an elite QB when he is playing against 2014 Kentucky and 2014 SCAR, and a mediocre-to-bad QB posting nearly the same game yardage and scoring as Justin Worley against everyone else.
