This is very welcome news (imo).
Didn't expect it, but glad it happened.
I don't know if this makes it more likely or less likely that we bring in a "known name" veteran to tinker around with the #2 spot. Probably less likely.
Mond to another team before or during camp/preseason I guess.

The only backup that truly made sense and could be had cheaply. A QB room reunion!

Glad he was signed.
When I started the backup qb thread I was not comfortable with Mond.
Dobbs is a good add. He is a smart guy and is mobile. He has some experience and knows the Browns.
All good welcome back Josh.

I agree. Somebody is going to be around in some capacity to be the 3rd QB. Short of signing somebody like Mariotta, having Dobbs and Mond is about as good as we can expect at the position. Both play similar styles as Watson. It does little good to have a starting QB who can move in space to back him up with a drop back statue.

Berry continues his great job during FA. We are not going to pay a lot of money to backup qbs given Watson's contract. Dobbs knows the fundamentals of our offense, has familiarity w/coaches and Watson. I think the best part of this move is Dobbs' intelligence. Big Ben used to talk to Dobbs after each series when both were in Pittsburgh. Dobbs will be a great asset to Watson, especially on game days and game prep.

j/c: The only team in the NFL with TWO QBs on fully guaranteed contracts! #ChessNotCheckers Now other teams will complain about not being able to sign backup quarterbacks because of this.
How does a league celebrating its 100th season only recognize the 53 most recent championships?

Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

Great news! Sentimental favorite of mine. Right guy, right price & contract IMO. Hope he performs well. Win us some games, Josh!

Dobbs is a very solid backup. Has quickness and smarts (field awareness). Early in the 2022 season there were times I thought we should give him some PT. Not that I would ever complain about Jacoby’s work, but Dobbs has an elusiveness that JB doesn’t. I wouldn’t be uncomfortable if JD had to take over for a game or three.

I liked him being brought back, but I hope he doesn't have to perform at all. Maybe a few in game snaps if Watson's helmet comes off and he has to exit for a play, then 4th qtr mop up duty in a Browns 30 point win. But, if he does, given our money situation where we can't have a Mariotta on the bench, I like Josh. He can run, and as a back-up, he is probably going to have to run some. As the coach, I would say look at 2 progressions. If they aren't open, don't even go to the 3rd. There is no 3rd. Just tuck it and run it. Slide when the time comes, then see where we are at that point. If you get to the LOS, that is good.

I agree that I hope Dobbs doesn't have to play a game. I'm good w/him getting a few snaps in mop-up time when we have a huge lead.

Josh is not Jacoby but he is ok as a backup.
Like most teams if you lose your starter. You are not going to be as good a team.
You hope if your starter misses a few games. The backup can hang in there and hopefully win a game or two.
If you have to depend upon them for to long a time. You are most likely in trouble.

Agreed Bone but I think there is room for Josh to grow and get better. How much better I don't know but at least some improvement.

Thinking of Dobbs from last year in pre season, I didn't think he was bad at all... Moves good and decent arm...
