This all depends on context. I think Dobbs is the starter next Monday regardless of if Hall is cleared. If Dobbs goes out and plays well against Chicago, he will continue to be the starter after the bye until he plays himself out of the lineup. If Dobbs has a bad game in Chicago, I could see the possibility of Hall starting after the bye.

I think it’s tough to go back to Hall after one game where the bad outweighed the good from Dobbs, but I also think Dobbs playstyle is very aggressively high variance, and I’m not sure that’s what you want when you’ve got a team with the kind of receiving talent we have.

High variance is really exciting when it works, but you have to be willing to bet the season that it’ll keep working. Mullens may even be the best option for how this roster is constructed right now, but it also feels like it’d lead to the most boring wins and losses of the three.

I’m assuming he has the ability to throw the ball forward, which would already make him a better QB than Dobbs

I would not pull Dobbs this year. We’ve only got 6 games left and its an easy road the rest of the way. On paper we should win our next 5. Bears, Raiders, Bengals without Burrow, Lions at home, Packers at home. 11-5 going into the final week playing @ Lions.

Not yet was my real answer

I’m sorry did Dobbs explode and I missed it?

We have no idea what the coaches really think of Hall. They could love him or secretly hate him. He was next man up by default with Mullens on IR, and then Dobbs became the only viable option the last two weeks with Hall on IR. With Mullens and Hall back, it will be interesting to see how our depth chart shakes out. Basically, I’ll support whatever the coaches do, because they see them in practice everyday, as someone famously said.
