    If Dobbs plays, we lose or we have already lost. Period. Dpbbs is not a starting NFL QB, period. Dobbs does not give us a better chance of backing Ben up than Landry did. Period. Anyone wanting to put someone in a game that has never taken a snap in a real game needs to get off whatever is making you think like that.

    Depends how badly hurt Bens elbow is. Starting a QB with a significant arm injury is stupid. Exclamation point.

    Landry got his first start because of an injury and hadn't thrown an NFL pass and they won. Exclamation point.

    You were wrong about them keeping Landry over Dobbs. Exclamation point.

    He's been a HOF QB for us and helped us win 2 more SB's. Since he's been our QB we've been one of the most consistent and successful teams in the NFL with a record straight 14 winning seasons.
    But he has a bad game and a bruise and some of you think he sucks and needs replaced by Dobbs?

    Against a horrible KC secondary and no pass rush? The only way we lose this game is if our D falls apart and they out shoot us. And some of you guy's want Dobbs in the game?

    He needs to be replaced if its more than a bruise. Bens a gamer but he doesn't always play his best football when he trys to play through an injury. In fact, sometimes he is down right awful.

    Keep in mind, he practiced only sparingly on Friday, nothing the rest of the week. Bradshaw is a HOF QB with 4 SB's when an elbow injury finished him. Bens past achievements carry no weight here.

    I'm a little concerned about this "bruised" elbow.

    Only way we see Dobbs is an injury to Ben and as I stated before if this season turns to poop early I hope Dobbs gets games in because he is our future. I believe Ben's first season the team went 15-1. Ben had a much better surrounding cast then Dobbs will have.

    Couple 8-8 seasons in there. In 2006 Ben was 7-8 but we ended up 8-8. Still I agree with your post!!!!

    If it's more than a bruise then playing him would be idiotic. Good points IF it's more than a bruise, however, for now all we can go on is the information given. " It's just a bruise, he'll be fine."
    So I would think that past achievements carry a lot of weight when considering benching your star QB at this point.

    I would never advocate sitting a healthy or even a capable Ben. Maybe others are but not me.
