The Josh Dobbs Pro thread

[Swagnificent]

This is where we differ. I am extremely high on Watson. The only prospect with a 1st round grade.

I've compared him to Drew Brees out of Purdue. I think he will be going into a superior situation than Brees did at San Diego.

My only cause for concern with Watson is injury risk. Dude already has an ACL on his record. He takes brutal hits a lot (see the national championship game). Plus there just seems to be bad luck for guys like him who have stellar college careers. They almost never have pro careers that match. Vince Young flamed out. Cam Newton has been okay but outside of a few good years has been mad inconsistent. Jury still out on Jameis Winston IMO.

With that said, I think Watson will be really good this year. Not Dak Prescott good. But at the very least Russell Wilson 2012 good.

Nope its over. For someone who was hyped as the Michael Jordan of the NFL this is a disaster

What? He's the only rookie thus far to play against a first team defense. Let alone one as good as the Giants. What game were you watching?

Here's a little perspective for 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.

Kobe Bryant threw up air balls as a rookie in the playoffs. Then he became the closest to Jordan.

I'll take being the Kobe Bryant of football for Dobbs.

He was horrifically bad and he's too mutant freak ugly to be a superstar.

He has the same issues he always had of inaccuracy and a lack of fundamentals.

You're trolling was fun but now that he has to play all that is done. He's the same low level prospect with glaring flaws that he always was.

These are horrible throws. Like not even CFL level.
