QB Battle

Maybe. Teams also knew we were going to have to cut one of them. If LJ ends up nowhere, your point will be proven. But the context probably played a part in trade offers etc.

I wonder if it will come out in the next few weeks whether trade offers were entertained or not...

 

Yes but if you were a team who thought highly enough of LJ that you wanted to bring him in as your back up QB ,why wouldn't you invest a 7th round pick in him to ensure no one beat you to the punch...

 

He would always have had more value to the Steelers than any other team, simply by virtue of knowing our system and playbook.

 

True. but then I guess our perceived value of him = cut.

 

As I wrote on another thread, I think the way Dobbs played on Thursday was just too much to ignore, and closed the gap between he and Landry's ability to win now. Landry may still give them a slightly better chance, but Dobbs' upside was just too much to let go. Not to mention Dobbs presence might push Rudolph just a little bit harder, and that is a good thing. No doubt it's a gamble, but a calculated one, and one that looks far better now than it did last Wednesday.
