Josh Dobbs addition arguably gives Cleveland Browns best QB room in the NFL
By Randy Gurzi
The Cleveland Brows recently added Josh Dobbs which arguably gives them the best quarterback room in the league for the 2022 season
For the past couple of seasons, the Cleveland Browns had Baker Mayfield as their starter and Case Keenum as the No. 2 guy. But heading into 2022, things will look vastly different.
Not only did the Browns go out and make a huge trade for Deshaun Watson, but they also signed Jacoby Brissett to back him up. With Watson potentially facing a suspension by the NFL, the Brissett signing gave them some comfort as he has 37 career starts under his belt.
General manager Andrew Berry wasn’t done there, however, as he recently brought in Josh Dobbs, a former fourth-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Cleveland Browns are very deep at quarterback in 2022
Dobbs, a former standout at Tennessee is known as one of the smarter players in the NFL — I mean, the dude is a literal rocket scientist which could be one of the reasons an Ivy League guy such as Andrew Berry was interested in his services.
For his career, Dobbs is just 10-of-17 for 45 yards and a pick which doesn’t seem like much to get excited about. However, he has shown time and again in the preseason that he’s a highly capable player.
Dobbs is able to make his reads, throws an accurate ball, and is also a threat to take off and run. That’s something all three signal-callers in Cleveland now have in common as Brissett is a solid runner while Watson can be deadly when he decides to tuck it and run.
It’s not as if the Browns would be comfortable going into the season with Dobbs as their starter but they would still feel really good about him being the primary backup if the league did decide to sit Watson for a while.
In the past couple of seasons, the Browns have had a dep quarterback room with a couple of players who could start and do well. Now they have one elite superstar and two reserves who could keep the offense moving forward should they be called upon.
dark. Next. Blockbuster trade could have impact on Baker Mayfield
It’s hard to look at how this thing is constructed and say there’s another team with a better quarterback room than the Cleveland Browns.
