Minshew out? Dobbs in?
With the potential for Gardner Minshew to miss his first start since assuming temporary control of the position, the Jaguars are giving first-team reps this week to backup Joshua “Josh” Dobbs. Dobbs, a former starter at the University of Tennessee, has very little pro experience. He was drafted by the Steelers in 2017, and wasContinue reading “Minshew out? Dobbs in?”

Case Lost, Dwayne Found
Struggling Case Keenum has been benched in favor of wunderkind Dwayne Haskins. Haskins will become the 163rd Washington Redskin to attempt a forward pass. We hope he fares better than Todd Husak, currently in last place among Washington QBs who finished his career 2/2, -2 yards.
Rosen Crosses Desert and Goal Line
The long national nightmare has ended. Josh Rosen has thrown his 1st TD as a Miami Dolphin! This places him in the vaunted company of David Fales and Ryan Fitzpatrick (mentor?). A second TD today would move him up into a tie with Ronnie Brown for most passing TDs as a Dolphin.
