Josh Dobbs is generating some interest around the league. The quarterback tried out for the Ravens yesterday, according to ESPN’s Field Yates (on Twitter). Meanwhile, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com tweets that Dobbs also had an audition with the Patriots.
Dobbs entered the NFL as a fourth-round pick out of Tennessee in 2017. He spent the first two-plus seasons of his career with the Steelers, and after spending most of the 2019 campaign in Jacksonville, he returned to Pittsburgh for 2020 and 2021.
Dobbs ultimately saw time in six games for the Steelers, completing 10 of his 17 pass attempts for 45 yards and one interception. He also added 31 rushing yards on six carries. After re-signing with the organization last offseason, the QB ended up spending the entire 2021 campaign on injured reserve.
The Ravens are currently rostering only two QBs in Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley, so Dobbs would provide some depth at the position. In New England, Mac Jones has a pair of backups in Brian Hoyer and Jarrett Stidham, so Dobbs would have more of an uphill battle to make the Patriots roster.
damn everyone want that steelers playbook
No doubt, everyone wants to learn how to fool everyone during the regular season and choke horrifically when it counts
Good point. The franchise has won 6 Super Bowls, they always choke when it counts.
Because we all know the Steelers playbook from the 70s is relevant now…
Yeah, because that’s when they won all their Super Bowls. Sheesh
This entire argument is kinda pointless
Wagner – Don’t try to bring reasoning to the comments section. Pick a side and jump in with both feet.
The Browns have one win in Pittsburgh among their last 19 visits. Does anyone think having the Steelers playbook would have changed that?
Dobbs is a smart guy is a very high character player, but I’m not really sure what he offers as far as playing ability goes. Maybe I’m wrong, but I haven’t really been impressed by his outings. Maybe a Steelers fan can correct me or give me a better first hand perspective on him.
We seem to say it a lot about such players, but he is a good guy. And I’m betting his life’s work will be much more profitable than the average former NFL player
Not sure he was ever going to ascend above the #3 quarterback in anyone’s scheme but the guy always kept plugging away
Agreed.
As Chuck Noll used to say, it’s time for Dobbs to get on with his life’s work.
Noll was almost as bland as Belichick during interviews.
Remember when Stidham was the starter for a hot minute? Good times.
Camp arm, nothing more. Water is also wet. Move along.
