    Very limited comparison to Tee Martin other than they both went to Tennessee and what won bowl games, have you seen Dobbs throw, his spiral is not too fast, he definitely has potential, he also has confidence, I think he can improve when it comes to mechanics and accuracy,

    And how long has Landry been here? Do you feel Landry is starter material in the NFL?

    Thank you, me neither, so do we have a coach/s able to develop the qb
    position? I think we better start looking for one quickly, #7's time is short.

    not for us right now. we don't need him to be. too much of a small sample size to know if he could be some day. heck charlie batch and leftwich took steps backwards from their strting days to being backups because they get so much less work so it's not really a fair question to ask of any backup. we have seen tons of backups do fairly well at places only to fail when they get their shot as starters. no matter what we still need backups. we could do a lot worse than landry. :cool:

    Landry is at a Colt McCoy level...

    Very true, Matt Schaub comes to mind, LJ will be defined when he gets to start some games back to back instead of starting a game here and there, so until he strings some games together in sequence there is no way to rate his capabilities....

    colt had some talent. he's just a richard cranium. at this point i see landry on more of a brian hoyer type trajectory. a good backup that you can get some wins with if he has to start for you. :cool:

    Weaknesses
    Beat up this year thanks to poor protection. When he wasn't being sacked, he was being hit hard. Not as competitive a rusher in 2015. Sacks and usage in run game might be taking a toll. Increase in short pass attempts from 86 to 208 this year reason for higher completion numbers. Accuracy on intermediate and deep throws dropped sharply. Pocket poise has been compromised. Hyper aware of pressure around him and lacks awareness to slide and find temporary shelter to make throw. Concern over pressure too often trumps ability to get through progressions. Must speed up the pace of his reads. Footwork is a mess. Slight stride onto stiff upper leg with little weight shift. Restricted follow through and too often tries to muscle throws with upper body. Throws to target rather than leading or throwing them open on short/intermediate throws. Too respectful of underneath coverage and must be more willing to challenge the defense. Needs to improve anticipation.



    Don't know what to make of Dobbs yet, but here is a draft profile you might be interested in. The highlighted sections match pretty much what's being said about Dobbs don't they? That's Dak Prescott's Draft Profile from last year.
