Wow
So I was in Charleston all weekend, just got back a few hours ago. Got to watch the last drive of the game at a restaurant/bar in downtown Charleston. Had no idea what had happened in the game to that point.
- Didn't realize Jaren Hall had a concussion, hence why Dobbs was in there.
- Assumed that Hall played poorly and got replaced. Wasn't aware that apparently, he looked good on the drive he was in for.
Check out nflfullhd if you wanna catch the whole game.
Did anybody else think this might be Josh 2.0 when Dobbs came in..particularly after his early mistakes. That Freeman game on MNF is something I'll remember for a long, long time. And he had two weeks to prepare...
I see some criticism of Dobbs here....I don't think he's the Messiah, but I think he could be pretty good with KOC guiding him. I agree with Kurt Warner here. But at the same time, if Dobbs starts this Sunday, looks like hot ass, we'll know for sure.
Watched the tape of @Vikings it very much looked like a guy #JoshDobbs that hadn’t take a rep with O, you could see he didn’t really know what he was seeing… BUT to be in that situation & FIND enough throws/make enough plays to win an NFL game is beyond impressive!

He got by with some courage, some experience and athleticism...

I thought it was a tremendous effort on Dobbs part, but with that said it helped playing a very mediocre Falcons team missing some key players (yes we were also). I would not want Dobbs as my starter heading into a playoff game against some of the better teams. Hoping Jaren Hall recovers quickly and we see him back in there soon. To me that's the most important thing going forward is finding out what we have in Jaren Hall to better evaluate the position this offseason.
@"StickyBun" said:I was really impressed with Hall, he led us on a great opening drive, made a great read on a long pass to Mattison which was the first time I have seen us throw deep to the back. Moved around great, real bummer is that the play before he got hurt he just missed hitting TJ on a TD pass on a nice move to avoid pressure otherwise he doesn't get hurt. Very small sample size, but I would rather see Hall than Dobbs, he just seems to have a cool, calm and poised presence and that makes you feel confident with the ball in his hands. I know Dobbs just got here and he made some great plays, but was also very erratic and I don't get that same demeanor from him, I think Hall has the higher upside and I think that is what we need in order to actually make some kind of legit run.@"purplefaithful" said: He got by with some courage, some experience and athleticism...

@"StickyBun" said:First drive, backed up in our own end zone: 3 and out.@"purplefaithful" said: He got by with some courage, some experience and athleticism... So Hall looked ok?Second drive, drove the length of the field, looked competent, ended up
with a FG.Super hard to tell with only 2 drives, but I thought he looked
like he had good command of the offense on the second drive, executing plays
like they were supposed to be executed. Definitely
OK looking. Didn’t seem overwhelmed in
the limited snaps. It’d be nice to see
more of him this year to see a little more of what we have.
Yes, Hall looked very competent...seemed like each play he gained a bit more confidence. Bummer on that QB scramble that he got his head banged on the turf (I'm sure with asphalt underneath the field turf). I don't know if Dobbs can create magic multiple weeks in a row, but considering what an inauspicious start it was (safety, 2 fumbles), I was ready to shut off the TV...sure glad I stuck it out. Couldn't believe we were only down 11-10 at halftime. This epic game will be long remembered, just like that Josh Freeman game was, but for totally different (and happy) memories.
@"StickyBun" said:Honestly, I was a little more impressed with Hall. He didn't make very many mistakes and he moved the ball well. Dobbs came in and looked terrible at first. Took a stupid safety and was pretty careless with the ball on the fumble. However, he got into a rhythm late and his running ability made a big difference.@"purplefaithful" said: He got by with some courage, some experience and athleticism... So Hall looked ok?If Hall were healthy, I think he'd be starting next week. But it's not a slam dunk. Dobbs did some really good things and his experience shows. Makes you wonder what he might be capable of with some time in the offense.
I'm sorry, I just don't see what you all are seeing with Hall. To me he looked like he did in preseason. Yes he was calm, but only real throw he executed was the throw to Matteson which was aschemed to get him wide open which he was, closest defender was at least 10 yards away. I did not see him fit the ball into tight windows or the "NFL open" receivers, or even throw someone open.

Good or bad when the dust settles, lets hope this org has "some clarity" regarding the qb situation at year end.
We sure dont have much today.

With that being said, I too would want to get a better assessment of Hall.
Dobbs is going to cause some problems for the Saints this Sunday with his feet. They'll have to account for that. KOC will gameplan accordingly. It will help cover up some deficiencies in the run game.
