I actually watched NFL Insiders on ESPN earlier today and Todd McShay said he would draft Josh Dobbs in the 2nd round straight up. There was no talk about any other QBs. They were actually discussing whether Josh could be the next Dak Prescott. Also Mark Dominik (former GM of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) said Dobbs would go higher in the draft than most expect and compared his release and passing to Dak Prescott coming out of college.
And if you watch ESPN right now they have a draft simulation show on and Dobbs is rated as a 2nd rounder on the Big Board and as the 5th overall QB.
Whether you like it or not, according to Todd McShay, Josh Dobbs is a second round player in terms of value.
yeah, and this has devolved in to something that it shouldn't. Tee should be remembered fondly. he made plays in big moments, and is a part of that undefeated season.
but in regards to playing the position of QB, it's just not a debate.
Tee should be remembered fondly....but accurately. Both points should be acknowledged, as he was both....clutch at coming up with big plays several times on our national championship team in 1998....and still not nearly good as the top QBs in our program's history, including Josh Dobbs.
Sure it is with people who watched both play. Some advice: stats are meaningless without detail. Plus, in critical big down situations, I would take Tee all day long and twice on Sunday. I get that measured stats are markedly in Dobbs favor. Dobbs is a spread QB. Martin ran the multiple pro-style. Two completely different schemes. More often than not, only 2-3 guys were running pass patterns. I know of several guys my age that have coached and played the game who agree with my assessment. I don't think some of you are old enough to remember Martin. You're not going to change my opinion by continuing to post the stats.
Dobbs isn't anywhere close to the top QBs in program history. Sorry. We're going to have to agree to disagree.
not following the logic here. Isn't it more impressive to complete 60+% in an offense with a bunch of 2 and 3 read throws vs 50% in an offense with 1 read throws?Sure it is with people who watched both play.

As far as playing the position, I don't think he's near the top, but he's in the next handful.
In the last 25 years it's Manning, Clausen, Ainge, Shuler. Then it's some combination of Dobbs, Kelly, Martin.

We definitely disagree. The best QBs UT QBs I've seen the last 40-45 years are ...
Manning (#1)....and then somewhat in order, though after Shuler and Clausen there's subjectivity involved imo.
Shuler
Clausen
Dobbs
Ainge
Holloway
Kelly
Bray
Martin
Streater
Francis

Well on this particular subject I think I'm pretty comfortable with my assertion.
So until 114 can bring something harder than " because I said so ", I'll consider the matter closed.
