Stop with this fake crap about caring for Dobbs. You know good and well you are rooting against him because you don't want me to be right.

You are happy at the thought that the Steelers might release Dobbs and he never plays in the NFL.

Stop pretending like you care about him. Your constant latching onto any piece of negative news around him exposes you and the type of person you are. You care more about being right than a young man like Josh Dobbs fulfilling his dreams of being a NFL QB.

Forget Brady/Montana/Manning et al, he's got this offseason/preseason to supplant Landry Jones. Jones has 5 years with the team and was still the #2 at the end of last season where he was given the Cleveland game whereas Dobbs had no snap all season.

The Steelers aren't carrying 4 QB's and, barring the catastrophically unforeseen, they're keeping the guy they just moved up to draft.

He was definitely a memorable college QB, as a UT fan anyways. He brought us our only decent years we've had in the last decade.

Its not even that. If D4H had said he thought Dobbs would have a solid NFL career, then that would be fine. But he has said Dobbs will be an all time great, the GOAT actually. Thats just straight up idiocy.

You guys said the same thing last year when I said Alvin Kamara would be Marshall Faulk in the NFL. Now you guys act like you were in agreement with me last year.

Mark my words, after Dobbs starts dominating in the NFL, you'll all be pretending like you saw it all along just as you're pretending now when it comes to Alvin Kamara.

I have a feeling you guys will blame Butch Jones for holding back Josh Dobbs just as you do now with Alvin Kamara.

Brady and Montana weren't memorable college QBs either. There's a reason they went in the 3rd and 6th round respectively.

The most noteworthy college QBs rarely develop into the greatest QBs of all-time.

Let me ask you this, if Dobbs develops into a star QB in the NFL will you apologize and give me credit for being right all along?

The answer to this question will let us all know exactly what you care more about? Making sure I'm wrong or Dobbs fulfilling his dreams?

When Dobbs gets cut before this season, will you show up hat-in-hand? Or will it be because the Steelers are stupid?

When will you understand that NFL teams make dumb decisions all the time?

Kurt Warner was cut by the Packers and made it to the Hall of Fame. And if you want to talk Steelers, they cut James Harrison several times before finally giving him a chance and then he turned into the defensive player of the year.

If Dobbs fails on the field like DeShone Kizer this past season I will admit I was wrong. But dumb decisions made by NFL teams won't be one of them. I never put total incompetence past these NFL teams. We just saw the Cleveland Browns pick an undersized 6'0" QB with subpar athleticism 1st overall in a draft filled with incredible talent.

Let the playing field decide who can play and who can't. Not the dumb coaches and GMs who make foolish decisions all the time.

Just remember it took an injury to Drew Bledsoe for Tom Brady to see the field in 2001. Even Bill Belichek wasn't smart enough to see Brady's talent to start him without the need of an injury.

I suspect it'll be injuries that get Dobbs on the field for the Steelers or any other team in the regular season. And just like college, once he starts dominating in the real games, everyone will wonder why he was not playing earlier.

Taylor, who is good, is the same size roughly as Mayfield who is undersized?

Tyrod Taylor is an incredible athlete. And it's his athleticism (much like Russell Wilson) that allows him to be successful in the NFL despite being undersized.

Baker Mayfield is a bad athlete. His combine number in the 40 yard dash and vertical jump were awful.

Apparently you're not aware that those aren't metrics by which the league judges QB talent. :good!:

It took an injury for Tom Brady (the alleged GOAT) to become a starter ahead of decent but not amazing NFL QB Drew Bledsoe.

Kurt Warner was cut by the Packers and it took an injury to Trent Green (a very average QB for his entire career) for him to start.

If took injuries for those 2 Hall of Fame QBs to see the field ahead of inferior starters. How can you deny that NFL front offices are incompetent?

All Dobbs needs is a chance and I'm confident he will be like Tom Brady and Kurt Warner. He'll win the Super Bowl and MVP as a starter.

We're talking about how a short QB like Tyrod Taylor is successful in the NFL. His athleticism is a huge reason he's able to overcome his deficiency in height.

Peyton Manning
John Elway
Drew Brees
Roger Staubach (yep, going back that far)
Steve Young
Terry Bradshaw
Dan Marino

All had memorable college careers .. heck, you could make the case that Montana did have a memorable career at Notre Dame simply because of some of the late game heroics the dude showed .. NDs offense wasn't much of a passing offense at that time but when they needed clutch, Montana was clutch.

To say that NFL front offices are incompetent is a stretch at best, especially from someone who's entire resume revolves around threads like "D4Hs 2018 NFL Draft Prospect Rankings" (and each of the previous two years).

You keep bringing up Kurt Warner who had a great career but the Packers cut him during the 1994 camp .. He was NEVER going to play over Farve or Brunell at that point and even Detmer, by most Packers coaches and fans who saw, outplayed Warner in camp. He was young, raw and needed way more work. So does that make the Packers incompetent? Andy Reid, Mike Holmgren and Steve Mariucci would have been making that decision so incompetent? Yeah, they probably know a bit more than you give them credit for.

Tom Brady was young and raw and maybe already the starter in waiting but was forced into competition (like Warner in St. Louis) earlier than the team was comfortable with. Warner did backup Trent Green who was mediocre but fact is, Warner had worked from undrafted to second string in St. Louis after spending some time in the AFL. That makes no coaching staff incompetent. Incompetent is hyping up guys like Kelvin Taylor and Brad Kaaya based on highlight tapes despite the fact neither will probably ever get a meaningful snap in the NFL if any.

I was the only person ANYWHERE that had Alvin rated as the #1 RB in the 2017 NFL draft and the next Marshall Faulk. That's a FACT.

The rest of you were just saying he would be a good player in the NFL. You never said he would be the BEST and a SUPERSTAR. I was the only one that correctly predicted Alvin's level of success. The only one.

And right now, I'm the only one saying Dobbs will be a STAR in the NFL. The only difference is unlike Alvin who y'all acknowledged could play in the NFL, y'all are saying Dobbs isn't NFL material which makes the distinction more pronounced but essentially it's the same thing.

Plenty of folks on here agreed Alvin would be the only Vol rookie to make noise last year. And it was correct.

Just because they didn't throw around all caps superlatives (BEST SUPERSTAR EVA) and compare him to another dude doesn't mean they were wrong.

But yeah, you're all alone in the Dobbs thing and I think most on here will give you credit in the event he balls out.

Dobbs' ceiling has pretty much always been a second stringer, and more likley a career 3rd string type guy. So unless you had insane, unreleastic expectations (*cough*), seems like this isn't that big of a deal.
