He looked...well, less elite as we let the Aints right back into that game.  He's still very new, no JJ, no KJ, TJ feeling rough (but still had a monster game)...and he still looked good, just less 'miraculous'.

He still is better than we could have prayed for as our 3rd string QB...!

First half, 200 yards passing.  40 yards rushing.  No JJ, KJ and a banged up TJ (played his ass off).  Those are the glimpses of what could be if he can get comfortable in the offense.

Second half, KOC let him down a bit but still won the game and didn't turn the ball over.

Saints have a very good defense, top 5 secondary.

Too early to call him elite, but he is playing that way right now. 
Wow. Just wow. He was a beast. He's hard to gameplan for. 
Allen played that boot/waggle all second half. look for future foes to do it also, should open up our inside run game

Stats look good, but I was kind of disappointed that we didn't do much after halftime. Dobbs missed a few and we just weren't in the same flow the second half. Defense stepped up and sealed that game when the offense couldn't

I'm still here.  Happy we won, but still waiting for the other shoe to drop as it always does.  His first half was remarkable.  Second half was less than pedestrian.

Like i said in another thread, this Dobbs thing feels like Keenum 2.0. A journeyman who's historically not great that catches fire and plays above his ability for awhile.  Lightning in a bottle.

Good to see. Of course its lightning in a bottle. But what's wrong with that? I mean, this beats the shit out of watching Mannion or Mullens fiddle fuck around. Don't overthink it. Week to week is how to view it.

^^^This right here^^^

I would rather watch any player with any High School, Junior High, or Flag Football QB experience out there than Mannion. :s

I will say one thing, he has some speed.  Turned on the jets and beat that guy to the edge.

Really good pocket movement and awareness before he tucked it and ran.
