Anybody watching this game?

I'm out at the bar so I'm watching whether I want to or not. If Dobbs retires Roethlisberger I'll ride or die for this team again realtalk

Maybe you should wait till the game ends cause I thought his first start was very promising.

Here's a little PERSPECTIVE on that shaky start:

(1) Dobbs is the only rookie thus far who played against a first team defense. The rest only played against backups thus far. And as you saw once he started playing the backups his play also picked up.

(2) Giants first team defense is really good. Lots of good starting QBs struggled against them last year.

(3) Steelers weren't babying him. If you saw Trubisky and Watson play, they had lots of roll-outs, half field reads, and threw mainly out of the shotgun. Dobbs on the other hand was under center mostly and wasn't doing a lot of roll outs and half field reads. Steelers had him running the full playbook. That shows how much further he is mentally than most rookies at this point.

(4) He did a great job overcoming adversity. Most rookie QBs would have folded after a start like that. But not Dobbs. He shook it off and made a bunch of really good plays the rest of the way. Both with his arm and his legs. A couple of his best plays not counting on the stat sheet because of drops and penalties.

All in all I was incredibly encouraged by his first start. He looked poised after the rough start. And he showed that duel threat ability that made him special in college.

Josh Dobbs will be a superstar in the NFL.

Watt genes are

i really hope he's a quality rusher and lateral tackler

dude is nice

these cacs in the burgh cant wait to ride the 'new great white hope" on defense.

Dobbs needs to backup Ben. I liked what i saw. It was his first game ever

 

[hiya tiger]

I wish we signed Kap as the backup.. Dobbs got years before he ready to play for real.


but TJ watt? fukk that nikka Jarvis, glad he gone
