DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum Browns Sign Josh Dobbs

I like this move.

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.

solid signing for a backup. nice to see Dobbs was willing to come back too

Do not know the feelings about Mond or the pursuit of another vet QB, but surely the Browns will be carrying 3 QB's whether the 3rd is Mond or someone else - carrying less than 3 is team suicide.

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

Agree.. solid back up...

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.

j/c:

The only team in the NFL with TWO QBs on fully guaranteed contracts!

#ChessNotCheckers

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.

Now other teams will complain about not being able to sign backup quarterbacks because of this.

Great signing.

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 don't know Bard. 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.

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...

Kid is smart as a whip... don't think he's the most physically able guy.... but he's a solid back up with a great head on his shoulder.... agree with you on the arm...
