Naw, he's only 31. He probably has several years left to be a 3rd stringer.

Agree - I mean didn't I see Wentz just got signed by another squad last week,
If not as a player, I would imagine Josh would go into some kind of coaching capacity.
I mean who wouldn't want a guy on their staff that has pretty much ran every offensive scheme in the league during his career.

Idk.
He made 3 million with the Pats.
Has made 12 million for his career.


Things are moving pretty fast in the space race right now. Iā€™d hate to see him get left behind. For 3 extra years sitting as a backup.

I'm just pointing out that Dobbs hasn't been interning at NASA in several years which is quite relevant to his value as an engineer at this point.

He's actually never worked as a full time aerospace engineer since graduation and he's 31yo. He's not exactly a hot commodity anymore in that field.

I'm sorry facts bother you.

Perhaps, but guys like David Robinson who was a civil engineer in the Navy didn't go back after playing pro ball because it's not easy to keep up in a career like that with a long gap in your resume.

Dobbs graduated in 2017 and never practiced engineering full time. He'd be going against fresh faced, right out of school aerospace engineering grads for jobs. There's no doubt he's a very, very bright man and more mature, but c'mon..... it's been almost 10 years now.

I think at this point he's made choices that make aerospace engineering harder than it would've been in 2021 or so. That's probably why he stopped interning about then.

He's done very well and he might find a career in the industry via his pro career and name but he's made decisions, good decisions IMO to maximize football over engineering in his life.

How could you possible know this for certain? Are ā€œhot commoditiesā€ a big thing in aerospace?

In Tullahoma and Huntsville, very much so. I know people from UT who enjoyed careers at both.

The bottom line is: if you don't work in engineering for 10 years, aerospace or other facet, you likely aren't going to get work as an engineer.

This isn't rocket science. šŸ˜Ž There are lots of careers you can't walk away from for 10 years and then decide...... oh, I'm still a _______

Fill in the blank? Humorless drone?

I wouldnā€™t go that far, but when I posted an obviously absurd comment suggesting your behavior with strangers in the park was centered on pointing out dog poop, your response was to bang your drum louder. Maybe next time just say, ā€œI donā€™t share your sense of humor.ā€ You would still maintain your serious tone, and you wouldnā€™t prompt others to prod you into flogging a horse corpse.

Sure, but the point remains: at some point, like Andrew Luck who never practiced nor became licensed as an architect despite his degree, Dobbs has foregone his "I'm ready to be an aerospace engineer" status.

It's just been too long now to be practical so we can stop insisting "he's rested and he's ready" when he's almost certainly outdated by advancements in aerospace engineering.

I feel like heā€™s probably invested wisely. I think heā€™s just got engaged.

Of the people Iā€™d worry about, heā€™s near the bottom of the list.

And I LOVE the guy. He and his parents are solid gold.

Agree, he probably won't need to work at any full time job after his FB career is done. Ride the NFL horse till you can't, easy money. He will have his choice of what to do after.

Would love to have Dobbs as an offensive analyst at UT. You can have a million of them now...and they removed the restrictions for "on the field" coaching recently for all assistants. As a fan base, i think people really underestimated how good Dobbs was when here. He didnt have a cannon, and usually didnt throw for 300yards...but he put Butchs teams on his back and carried them over and over. He was incredibly quick, elusive, and smart scrambling and on designed runs. Jones would have had a couple losing seasons and been fired much sooner without Dobbs to bail him out of garbage play calls in a garbage offense all the time. I bet Josh would make a great Coach one day

Agree. And that's where I think his life may lead him now. He's played lots of places and probably knows a lot of NFL front office guys and coaches.

He's intelligent and has proven he can pick up an offense quickly if needed. He'd probably be an asset to any team needing someone implement an offense with a young QB or study defenses.

Jeez, how many different teams is that for him? I know the money is good but I would hate that kind of rootless existence.

Off the rip, Iā€™ll say:

Steelers (Hypocycloids)
Browns (Cleveland 3.0)
Lions (Peugots)
Titans (Flying Thumbtacks)
Cards (Cactus Wrens)
Niners (Squared Sevens)
Vikes (Hyperboreans)
Patriots (Flying Elvii)

Thatā€™s the life of the vast majority of professional athletes.
