Patriots Player Departure Josh Dobbs Being Released

[UGAPatsfan]

Cole Payton of ND State or Klubnik (?sp) from Clemson.

Klubnik, Allar (huge range with his draft stock), or Haynes King. King has Taysom Hill vibes.

Including, alas, that he'd be a 25-year-old rookie. [I mind this much less on day 3 as I would in the first round.]

This is a super-interesting pick if it comes to pass.

Kinda tebowish, but his arm's gotten better every year.

He’s more like Taysom Hill. I don’t see him ever being a pocket passer in the NFL, a gadget player who could play QB in a pinch.

Honestly that's what Tebow should have been, Taysom Hill.

I like the kid's makeup, he's a real runner, good guy to have around.

The journey continues.

Younger!
Cheaper!
Better!

Doubs signed Dobbs released

 

[KDPPatsfan85]

Just as suspected when we retained Divito for the amount we did. Bet QB gets drafted late day 3.

Glad we cut him. I think DeVito is the better QB. Dobbs throws hospital balls, I cringe every time he throws because he tends to get the receivers injured.

Quite the eclectic mix for that jersey. Nice call!
I had forgotten many of the players to wear #11 over the years for the Pats.

1960-61: Butch Songin
1970: Joe Kapp
1973-74: **** Shiner
1983-89: Tony Eason
1991-92: Shawn McCarthy
1993-2001: Drew Bledsoe
2009-20: Julian Edelman
2022-24: Tyquan Thornton
2024: John Parker Romo
2025: Joshua Dobbs

If **** Shiner from 1973-74 was in today's NFL, memes about him would be everywhere.

I don’t think his wife Vajina would appreciate that.

And if he shows anything, he might become trade bait.

Let’s hope he never gets to show anything in games that count for regular season standings or playoffs. He can go wild in camp and preseason games as long as he never sees the field after the kickoff on opening day, except maybe for some mop up duty.

And I think Tommy has played enough NFL games we know what he is and isn’t. I don’t see him ever being a guy another team would ever trade for as a potential starter.
That’s where the drafted QB comes into play.
Take and develop a guy and maybe 2 years down the road he has had mop up or preseason moments that interest a trade. Don’t ever see that being the case for Tommy.

Cap impact of releasing Dobbs?

Cap impact of releasing Dobbs?

Little to no dead money, maybe $3-4M cap space gained. Basically, pays for the contract they gave DeVito.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Dobbs felt like a JAG if we're being honest.

Is Devito going into the season as primary backup or do we pick up a vet QB to sit ahead him on the depth chart?

DeVito probably showed enough last season to become QB2. That’s why they gave him a contract and let Dobbs walk. I think there’ll be a QB drafted on day 3.

 

[rochrist]

QB3 incoming?

This guy would be better served doing a JE and converting to WR. All the scouting reports are pretty bad on him.
