PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A quarterback is on the move in Pittsburgh Monday afternoon.


According to reports, the Steelers have traded backup quarterback Josh Dobbs to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a 2020 5th round pick.

“The #Steelers received plenty of interest in Josh Dobbs all summer, but held firm to make sure they had solid draft pick compensation. They got it from Jax.”

Did not see that coming.  Obviously was not considered the future at Pittsburgh, but they have a long history of having a running QB as a back up to Rothliesberger.

Pittsburgh is going to have to do something fairly soon.  Rothliesberger looked pretty athritic last night.

As I posted on twitter, thought it might happen.  HE was 3rd string at Pitt.  He showed well in pre-season.  Jax is in a world of hurt at QB.  Excellent opportunity for Josh!

Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.

Yeah it is, and Jax is more willing to experiment with someone like Dobbs than a tradition bound program like Pittsburgh, where the fans expect a certain type of offense.
