re: What is the big deal with Joshua Dobbs?

Well to start it off with, he put up 17 TDs and nearly 1700 yards against all power 5 opponents. That means he didn't pad his stats with the likes of Utah St, Arkansas St, and Chattanooga. He did it behind one of the worst OLs not just in the SEC, but the got damn country. Case in point. Look what he did behind an awful OL, and then look what Christian Hackenberg did behind an awful OL. That's with a WR group in and out of the ER, and no running game to speak of until he provided it. UT was 92nd (13th in SEC) in rushing offense WITH the help of Dobbs. Without him, Hurd is not as effective, and they are more likely in the 120s. That's worst than Vandy. At worst this year, he'll put up Nick Marshall numbers and around 63% completion. At optimum conditions (decent OL, no injuries to top 4 WRs, #1 TE) he's a 3000 yard passer, 1000 yard rusher, 40 TD player type of player. MSU fan really talking about Dobbs? What about Prescott in his first real year starting? Go and look up the passing stats against LSU, USCe, TAMU, Ole Miss and Auburn. He passed for 2 TDs and 5 ints, combined against those guys. And his two TDs were against the 97th ranked pass defense of TAMU. His one time of over 5.8 ypa against those teams was 7.8 against Auburn. Oh, they were just the 102nd ranked pass defense. His passing stats are padded by the bowl game against Rice. He also played against Alcorn St, and Troy to pad his stats even more. So before MSU fan talks about Dobbs, remember what Prescott did his first year, and then look what he did in his second year. To even make a comparison to how bad Jennings was with the help of playing against ULM, NMST, and FCS team SHSU, to Dobbs against all power 5, is asinine.
