Great arm strength and elite athleticism. He's always flashing starter potential. He just needs consistency. He's got a great opportunity now with the Jags. Minshew played well yesterday but the Jags obviously don't trust him. They wouldn't have spent a 5th round pick on a guy they plan to be their 3rd string QB when Foles returns. Minshew will have a short leash. If he struggles over the next couple of games Dobbs will be the starter. Jaguars are a very talented team. Dobbs has a chance to succeed.

The Jaguars traded for a backup because their rookie backup is starting while their entrenched starter is hurt and they don't have another backup.

Touchdowns getting called back because of phantom penalties. Bad field position because the defense couldn't get off the field when he was in. Tipped INTs. Rudolph on the other hand had a lucky preseason. Defense gave him great field position multiple times for quick TD drives. He also had more opportunities. I thought Dobbs showed growth this year from last preseason though it didn't show up on the stat sheet. He looks ready to be a good player in the NFL.

Elky Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I think Tim Boyle has starter tools. He's got a strong arm and has leadership qualities. I think he needs a chance to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if Dobbs was as good as you peg hin Pittsburgh wouldn't slot him as third string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jaguars traded for a backup because their rookie backup is starting while their entrenched starter is hurt and they don't have another backup. If you just need a backup, you can get one off the street for no draft compensation. The Jags drafted Minshew in the 6th round this year. They just gave up a 5th rounder for Dobbs. Obviously they think a little more highly of Dobbs than they did of Minshew before the draft. I believe the Jags don't trust Minshew to keep them afloat with Nick Foles out for the next 9 weeks. They're bringing in Dobbs with the idea that if Minshew struggles he can maybe help keep them stay afloat until Foles comes back. No team just gives up a 5th round pick on a guy they plan to be their 3rd string QB in 9 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also fit matters. You can't think of examples where one team gives up on a guy who then becomes good elsewhere? Happens all the time in football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
