WR Aaron Dobson placed on IR

Yates: Dobson to IR



No surprise there, bummer for him though.

I don't know if's in the end of him here but the guy can't stay healthy. Likely last hurrah.

In the end Dobson, Boyce, and KT all flamed out.

damn

That'll just about do it for his Pats career. So thrilled they signed a safety to take his spot.

We picked the wrong year to draft wide receivers (2013). 2014 was the much better wide receiver class

Good news: X Rays negative
Bad news: Headed to IR

Next man up!!!!!






...oh wait... IS there a next man?

The curse continues, **** it I give up, we are not lucky drafting WRs

Says a lot when they are willing to wait 6-8 weeks for edelman but can wait less time for Dobson. I really wanted him to do well because we needed somebody even though he was not inspiring.

The book's officially closed

Damn it. I was really hoping they would wait on him. Here's hoping Edelman comes back on schedule, Martin comes back ASAP and no one else gets hurt the rest of the year...

If you are a WR don't wear #17 for the Pats. It's cursed.

Also the fact that a WR wasn't signed may indicate Amendola and Martin will play.

I think if they weren't waiting 6-8 weeks for Edelman they'd be more likely to keep Dobson on the 53 man roster. They can't have 2 WRs on the active roster unlikely to play for at least a month. Edelman is a top 25 NFL WR and Dobson is still an unknown 3 years into his NFL career so it was an easy choice.

I Quit With Aaron, I had so much hope. I just Quit. Poor guy worked his tail off in the off season to avoid injuries, put in all the work and it happens yet again. He's just made of glass, ain't a damn thing anyone can do about it...

We draft too many projects from mediocre schools. We need to start drafting productive established wide receivers from well known competitive schools.

Whose Pittsburgh wide receivers scout? How much will it take to sign him to be ours?

It was nice knowing you dobs. So long and good luck...

Dobson wasn't a project aside from Hopkins and Allen he was the most seasoned WR in the 2013 class.

I was comparing AD's college stats to Chris Harpers
AD 4 seasons
6'3" 210lbs 165 rec, 2398yds, 24tds
Harper 3 seasons
5'11" 176lbs 163 rec, 2030yds, 13tds

Obviously AD has much more TD's but played 1 more season, I'd say overall they're pretty much equal in production. AD went in the second and was projected at least 3rd or 4th I believe not sure what Harpers projection was. My question is how much of that has to do with height and size if any ? Not that it has much to do with this thread but I was just curious...
