You think Dilfer was an above average quarterback? Dilfer had a career completion percentage of 55% and averaged 2,339 yards passing per season in years where he started more than 10 games. He wasn't even a game manager, he thew more picks than TDs.

In his superbowl season 34 other quarterbacks threw more yards than him. That doesn't sound above average to me. 13 QBs had more than 3000 yards (some had 4,000) while Dilfer put up 1,500. It may be easier to pass now, but it certainly wasn't as impossible as Dilfer made it seem.

Baltimore let him go immediately after their superbowl run and he spent the rest of his days as a backup QB, and not a very good one either. Dobbs could easily prove himself to be a better QB than Dilfer in the next couple years.
The point is that Dilfer was an NFL starting QB while Dobbs is not. You can't really compare a guy with over 20k career passing yards with a guy who doesn't even have 2k total yards passing 5 games into his 6th season.

He would he their back up at this point. Dobbs could be QB #1 with an injury. They do a guy, Braden Allen, who's been in 5 teams in 8 years and never has taken a snap.
No - wanting OUR game plans :)
