Dobbs on the trade block

They're not planning to keep him it seems.


Josh Dobbs, Mike Glennon drawing trade interest

Brett Hundley and Teddy Bridgewater aren't the only signal-callers on the trade block this week.

As teams put the finishing touches on their quarterback rooms in time for the regular season, a pair of backups are available.

The Steelers' Josh Dobbs and the Cardinals' Mike Glennon are drawing interest leading up to this weekend's final cuts, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Wednesday's edition of NFL Total Access.

When Dobbs got zero snaps against the Titans I think they made it abundantly obvious that Dobbs isn't in their future plans. If we can get a pick out of him, that'd be great for a guy we're just going to cut come the regular season.

In the article mentioned above, I read that the Raiders have a need at QB. Maybe, they can give us our 5th round back for him. We will keep their 6th round of course

Yeah that'd be nice to get our 5th rounder back. I don't know though, I don't think I see any team giving up more than a 6th, or 7th for a backup QB. They'd have to be pretty desperate to give up a 5th.

I don't think anyone is going to make a move unless he lights up the Panthers starting D tonight. Then maybe the Browns will trade us a #1 for him so when they run Mayfield into the ground they can start on Dobbs. Just kidding. Even they wouldn't give us a #1.

I know, we can only dream right A 6th or 7th rounder is indeed more likely.

Take it you must be a graveyard guy as well? Not too often people are up this time of the morning and replying to me.

I'm Belgian and living in Europe, daytime here. That doesn't exclude that I can be a graveyard guy though

Ah I see! Well it's nice to have people on the forums from different parts of the world. Steeler Nation? More like Steeler Worldwide!

Week promises to be eventful for Steelers QB picture. Dobbs starting last preseason game says team still evaluating him. Dobbs and Landry Jones have garnered interest from some NFL teams, I'm told, but Jones a tough trade b/c of experience. So many scenarios can play out

this trade puts the Steelers over the top for the run to and a Superbowl win.

gruden is on record saying he doesn't know if their second string QB is on their roster. after the way he slurped on Dobb's nuts since before draft day , he would kind of lose credibility by not going after Dobbs.
i mean he sang his praises loud and proud and to not give up a little bit of nothing for him, especially after publicly stating you need a back up QB makes his praises look like complete Bull Shit.

lol

I like what I've seen of Dobbs and wish he could stay on practice squad at least. I must be the worst fan in the world at figuring these things because I didn't think there would be interest in Dobbs for a trade. I thought possibly a low pick for Jones just because he has experience, but a 2nd year guy with no game experience didn't seem like there would be much of a draw.

REPORT: Josh Dobbs not the only Steelers quarterback drawing trade interest

According to a report by ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler, there is interest in not one but two Pittsburgh Steelers backup quarterbacks via trade. We’ve talked at length on here about the potential value of Josh Dobbs in a trade, but Fowler has added Landry Jones into the mix as well.

It had never crossed our mind to think about Jones being the odd man out at quarterback. But in the big picture, having Dobbs and Mason Rudolph competing for the starting job when Ben Roethlisberger retires makes a lot of sense. They are both very talented young quarterbacks and both showed in training camp and preseason that they have a ton of potential.

Dobbs vs Rudolph.

Bradshaw vs Gilliam.

Except Gilliam wasn't a Space Engineer. And Bradshaw couldn't spell cat if you spotted him the C and the T.

I say, I say, trade Jones and keep Dobbs and Rudolph. I really like these 2 young QBs and Dobbs made it hard for the Steelers after last nights game.

or take the easy way out keep all 4.

After last night I would keep Dobbs too. Jones is probably a little better right now because of experience, but Dobbs' ceiling is much higher. They probably don't like to let Jones go in case Ben should be replaced for 1 or 2 games, but I wouldn't get rid of a young and smart QB who is showing promise and the fact that Jones is in his last contract year is a great opportunity to get something for him in a trade.

I think at the very least Dobbs made it look like a dumb move if they let him walk but their only real option is to trade Jones.I doubt they'll do that. I agree Stella that his ceiling is much higher than Jones. Considering his lack of playing time the jump from last year should spell it out.
He's not just smart. He has the physical attributes to back it up.

If we don't keep him I believe he'll be starting for someone sooner than later.

I’d still rather keep Jones. He’s the only one of these three backups that has regular season experience. If Ben is out for a game or two, which is possible, I’d be more comfortable with jones to pull out the win than Rudolph or Dobbs. These preaseon games with scrubs playing defense don’t mean that much. Dobbs or Rudolph more likely than not will look very mediocre at best (probably making crucial mistakes) going against starters,

Dobbs and Rudolph both have good long term potential, If we can’t get good trade value out of Dobbs (or even Rudolph) I wouldn’t be opposed to the Steelers somehow keeping all four QB’s (and I mean not necessarily keeping all 4 on the active list)

to many people looking at this dulling QB preseason short term or this year only Steelers are going to look out for the future of the Steelers. imo this is the last contract for Ben and the Steelers Jones is not as talented as Dobbs and Rudolph so I see both Dobbs and Rudolph on the 53 man roster this season.

I'm starting to agree more with this thinking. I wouldn't have really guessed that it would be anyone but Jones as #2 a week or 2 ago. Jones is in the system a few years and knows it, but in game experience he only has about 150 more NFL attempts than Dobbs and Rudolph. Maybe we're seeing too much of Dobbs against lesser preseason competition, but he does seem to have talent and with his intelligence likely has a strong grasp of the system too in his 2nd season. I guess we'll all know in a short time.

I don't think Dobbs will stay, but I kind of wish he would. Kid played his ass off last night. I gotta give the guy some credit. He's shown flashes but last night he put together his best performance. I think he's going to be trade bait, but I wouldn't be hurt if they kept Dobbs and traded Jones.

I think Dobbs has a better chance of winning meaningful games for the Steelers (Browns don't count) than Landry Jones does. Plus, Jones is in the last year of his contract, meaning we're not likely to have him after this year, plus he costs more money - plus, in the very near future, Ben is going to retire. I'd feel much more comfortable going forward with Dobbs and Rudolph, than just Rudolph, and having to go get another QB somewhere.

First off welcome to SX!

Secondly I agree, I was iffy on Dobbs before but he's shown me enough this preseason I wouldn't mind if they kept him.
