Shelf life is a concern for sure with running QBs (which is different than a scrambling QB to me).
Dobbs didn’t play to there liken they got him to tank and even though he was accomplishing that he was playing it to close. So they demoted him before he accidentally won another game. Now at 1-8 they turn to Murray knowing he will be rusty for his swan song.
did they actually demote him after he won a game? I haven't really paid attention to what was going over there. I assume Murray will be an upgrade over whatever they have going on over there, so whatever tanking plan they have is going to get a bit of a monkey wrench tossed in it... but, to be fair to Dobbs, it's not like he's got a lot of talent around him there. He'll have that here (and he would have had that in Cleveland had he been given a chance to start), so it will be interesting to see what he can do over the next few weeks. I'll probably withhold judgement until after the bye week to be honest. That should give him enough time to learn the offense, plus by then JJ/Darrisaw should return and given him a full complement to work with. Hopefully KOC starts using a bit more of Chandler with Akers out and Mattison doing as poorly as he is doing.
I would absolutely laugh my rear end off though if Dobbs went on a tear and suddenly everyone is talking about how we got our QBOTF for a swap of late round picks, suddenly no one would ever trade with Kwesi again... I would hope we'd still draft someone high to compete with him, but maybe not trade the future away for it.
