I think Dobbs let the whole Passtronaut thing get to his head.

JMO, I just don't think he's good. He balled out athletically upon arrival but its been diminishing returns since.

You're absolutely right, he's not that good. There's a reason he's been on however many teams thus far in his career. But over the last couple of weeks all I see are articles on him as the Passtronaut and his background. IMO he should be more worried about honing his craft on a new team rather than marketing opportunities.

No he's not. Never has been. Teams don't move on from good QBs 8 times. Was it possible he could've continued the circus act and led the Vikings to the playoffs? You bet. Still is. But the idea that we may have uncovered some kind of hidden greatness with Dobbs was pretty silly.
This is going to be a brutal two weeks for Dobbs, which is truly sad. He seems like such a good human. But if he's as smart as they say, he had to know this day was coming.

Did you hear that The Sunshine Factory is doing lay-offs?

Holy crap, Dobbs is off target. that sideline pass to Addison… a bit less air, a bit more to the inside of the field, and we have the lead. I know Chicago had a safety closing, but that’s a TD with a moderately accurate QB.
Yeah, that throw was embarrassingly bad. Any pro QB would love to have a WR that wide open for a sure thing TD. I like Dobbs, but it appears the Rocketman has come down to earth.

Stop throwing at Jaylon Johnson! For Pete’s sake he’s killing us.
EDIT- And why isn’t KO calling more QB runs?
My guess would be KOC doesn't trust him on designed running plays anymore after seeing him fumble in Denver. If you can't trust your running QB to run, and he's throwing 3 or 4 picks a game as your "pocket" passer, how can he be the best option to be a starting QB?
Saying the media went to Dobbs' head or whatever is unfounded conjecture. I'm sure he's putting in the work and learning the offense and trying like heck to play better. It sucks last night he didn't.
I said this in another thread and I say it as a big KO fan, but he is underutilizing Dobbs' mobility to a criminal level right now. I understand it took the Bears half a season before they realized last year, "oh, we should let Fields run more," but I hold KO to a higher standard than Eberflub and he should know this. Mattison/Chandler/whoever is not a competent run game. Watch Chicago, Philly, Baltimore, whoever... steal those QB run plays and incorporate them over the bye week or the season is lost for good. I'm talking 8-10 designed runs/game for Dobbs or Hall if it comes to that.
Powell also seemed to be getting open at will last night and needed more targets. I'm a shmuck on a couch and even I can see these things plain as day. Man. What a frustrating game.
For me the jury is still out on Kirk. It's easy to sit here and say "BRING HIM BACK*"
*for 1 or 2 years.
Great plan until a team like Atlanta offers him 3 years fully guaranteed. Then what?

Then what? You move on, I move on regardless, but they definitely can't get locked to Cousins again.
