Player Signing Patriots claim QB Tommy DeVito

Dobbs better go home and get his shine box.
Not sure that was intentional or not but well played.

Joe Pesci's character in "Goodfellas" name was Tommy DeVito.

In real life, the mobster's name was Tommy DeSimone.
 
The Dobbs bashing has gone straight to ludicrous. Have you all forgotten he is jumping into a brand-new complex offense that relies on timing and defensive recognition. That Dobbs has had just 6 semi- live scrimmages where he got less than half the snaps. Maybe just 70/80 reps all told. And yet you want him (and Maye) to look as polished and smooth as Brady in his 5th year. This is just maddingly stupid. We are supposed to be among the smartest fans on the internet, NOT the Jet-like yahoos who yells "HE SUCKS" every time a play doesn't go perfectly

Now I don't know much about Dobbs as a player. By reputation he has been a decent back up who has won some games over the years in relief of an injured QB. No one is saying he is vying for top job. Just a guy who can come in on an emergency and not completely **** the bed. I am NOT even saying that Dobbs IS that guy. I don't know this early on and NEITHER do you. I'm just willing to wait a 1000 more reps or so before I start making draconian statements.

BTW- Tommy DeVito is a big improvement over Woolridge though he will likely end up costing a roster spot. It will be worth it. He is necessary for practice and will provide constant competition for the #2 by mid October when HE starts to get used to the offense. Nothing wrong with competition.
According to who? Have you read some of the horse $%@# that gets spewed on here daily.
 

List includes former #2 (Wentz), 3 (Lance), and 4 (Richardson) overall picks. "Honorable mention" included a former #1 (Winston) and 2 (Mariota).

Outside of the top 3, not much evidence that those guys could hold the fort down for very long.

Backup QB sucks across the league.

Anyone want Jared Stidham? I'm fine with Tommy DeVito.
 
You can have him.
 
Actually, yeah.
Yes, I always thought he had potential but never got a shot. Even Payton liked Bo Nix better. I wish someone would divulge what his negatives really are.

Had a great pre-season ( as did Devito) 70% completion and 8 td, 1 int
 
Career:

Stidham 29yo, 5 previous seasons; 4 starts, 1 win; 59% completion, 1422 yards, 8 TD, 8 INT

Devito 27yo, 2 previous seasons; 8 starts, 3 wins; 65% completion, 1358 yards, 8 TD, 3 INT

I liked Stidham. Good arm, turnover prone, but decent backup. But I don't see much upside over Devito, who is younger and seems to make fewer errors
 
It is not uncommon practice on this board to despise players when they are on the team, then eulogize them after they leave.

Stidham has had 5 years to take his talent to the next level. Hasn't happened.
