Should be a 3rd or 4th based on this play but we will see. 3rd or 4th!?! The overvaluing of Cards players on this board is nuts. 4th for a guy who was not proven and is a backup QB for sure in this league. I don't see that as absurd.

Or you could have completely ruined the rookie going forward. They traded the Eagles 5th so they drop back 20-25 spots or so to take a flyer on a guy. Dobbs was not horrible, kept them competitive for longer than people expected. I don’t believe he so mentally weak that he couldn’t handle a few loses.If he is somehow that type of player who let loose get to him then he not worth wasting the team time on. At the end of the day being competitive meant nothing but one win. There was never any consistency so team going to be starting from scratch again with KM. I can see your point, but I do not think it is as simple as a few losses. Maybe they legit did not think he was ready. He can be in a much better place now than 8 weeks ago. Three staff members had experience with Dobbs and thought he was worth the risk. I do not think it was horrible. They would be starting again from scratch with Kyler regardless.

It’s absurd as clearly was shown by what he went for. Probably was absurd they paid a 5th in first place, but I think it was worth the risk. He proved he cant win. Teams have guys they like on their roster and aren’t paying that kind of capital for a guy that showed he needs A LOT of help to win. He can keep you close but people don’t want participation trophy’s.

I don't get it, I just don't. He played well for us as. As I type I'm sitting here watching NFL Network listening to David Carr praising the guy and how he believes Dobbs is gonna help keep the momentum going for the Vikings......and we had him. I wish him well stepping into a situation that gives him a shot at postseason while I continue to scratch my head.

I wasn't really for signing dobbs in the beginning but I thought he played better than expected. One thing that no one's mentioned yet is the only really horrible game he had was the one against the Ravens and the Cardinals were playing I believe at least one third stringer and maybe two third stringers were four stringer on the offensive line. Reflecting back on that game is astonishing that the cards OC did not call more running plays for him particularly with Connor is out.

We once traded a second and our 1st round Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie for backup Kevin Kolb and then gave him a huge contract 🤣

What's this guy's record? How many points did he put up in the second half? Did he show some signs sure he also showed he's not legit. The cowboy game was a great game got garbage points against the Ravens.
Our defense has given us plenty of chances to win games he has been a serviceable back up in the first half and a complete piece of trash in the second half and that's just a fact.

We had him for 9 more games, where he would likely ride the bench, and then he was not a Cardinal any more. We paid him $666,667 for his eight games of service. Did you want to give him another contract? People think he’s starter, QB1 quality and he was going to sign for vet minimum to be QB2 or QB3 with us?

Yesterday I said we should trade Dobbs to the Vikings and try to get back the 5th rounder we traded for him. Almost nailed it! DH OUR NEW GM I AM ALL IN GREAT JOB!

There's no one out there quite frankly unlike my other unappropriate post this one actually fits. Dobbs is the heifer but he's still the best that's available which is still garbage. Sorry about the heifer reference but I was raised in the country.

Sorry about the heifer reference but I was raised in the country. I totally agree with you. The Vikings were desperate once Cousins went down. Perhaps after looking at film on Dobbs, they thought that he did not have the players to get over the "lose" hump. Jefferson alone would improve Dobbs play. Or maybe, they have other reasons for making the trade for a QB that has won only one game in his whole career. He did not get it done here, good luck to him in Minnesota...your heifer analogy is right not in my opinion.

I don't know, but I'm kind of sad to see him go. Don't get me wrong, it was probably the right thing to do. I mean....with KM's return, were we really going to carry 3 QB's on the roster. They had an opportunity to get something for him rather than just cut him. I'm sad because he had game. The guy was tuff as nails and his legs were dangerous. He far exceeded what I thought he would do. I will remember him as being one of our better back up QB's and really fun to watch at times. This is probably my favorite play by him... Rushing touchdown
I time stamped it but watch the whole video. He did have some memorable highlights. I truly wish him well. He seems like a good guy that works hard, and if he can help take the Vikings to the playoffs. I would be tickled to death.
