Dobson not being able to hold onto the ball was one of the most overrated story on this board last year. The guy had a horrible first game and a few more drops after that, but he didn't drop many or any balls as the season went on. His reputation was based on one game.
According to Nick Underhill, he had 3 in week 2, 1 in week 3, two in week 6, one in week 7, and two in week 9. Week 2 was definitely his worst game--in no small part, I'm sure, because of the rain--but he had enough drops after that that writing it off as one bad game isn't really correct either. Personally, I thought it seemed like he was making progress, but unfortunately he got injured too early for us to really know. Until he gets back on the field and starts playing, there won't really be a satisfactory answer either way.
