They throw him the ball because he is WIDE OPEN! Do you expect Dobb's not to?

The better question is why does he keep getting playing time?

I thought Dobbs was suppose to be some kind of fricken genious????? So, he fights to stay in bounds as time is running down in the first half. Might be a classroom wiz but his football IQ is below average.

had too many drops

Ok. I see how this is going to go. With Worley, boo the hell out of him for every bad throw.

Dobbs though, Dobbs can do not wrong. Don't mention that he threw two picks and turned it over on a fumble, and made several bad throws. No. Just god help the first receiver to drop a pass and transfer all of that bad play, funnel all of it, to him and away from Dobbs. Especially if the kid that dropped the ball was white. Right?

Josh Smith needs to watch the The Little Giants. Remember the kid who couldn't catch worth a lick? They made him catch toilet paper. Maybe toilet paper would do the trick.

Lay off the kid. He's a true freshman. I'm sure some of you are the same ones who hated Zach Rogers too for dropping passes early in his career. Last year he was the most dependable. Give the kid time.

Zach Rogers didn't consistently drop balls every game.

No doubt he is a freshman and evidently won playing time. However, he has shown not only why he is playing (gets open) but needs help in what it takes to deliver when it counts (drops). Over time I think he will get it...problem is if there is real competition, next year and after, he may not see the field. Many of us have been in a seriously competitive environment in the workplace. How many chances does one get? Depends on the competition. IMO, he is swimming in dangerous waters considering what may be coming in.

How many more dropped footballs is it gonna take to get Josh Smith off the field/out of the WR rotation for the rest of the season? He just dropped yet another perfectly thrown ball. That's gotta be 10 dropped balls this year. Dobbs put that ball on the money and it wouldve been a TD. Don't want to see that kid again on the field until he's a sophomore. He clearly cannot handle playing in the SEC as a freshman.

Agreed. He hurt us with Worley and he continues to hurt us with Dobbs.

I get what you are saying...But you are reaching a little bit my man. Tony Gonzalez could've dropped that ball and there would be the same outcry. I doubt and hope it has anything to do with race.

BigOrangeTrain I have never heard you complain about a receiver when Worley was in. But...no, oddly enough, that has changed. Tell me BigOrangeTrain, what did you think about the 2 picks Dobbs threw, his fumble, and fighting to stay in bounds toward the end of the first half when the smart "football IQ" thing to do would be to get out of bounds to stop the clock.

What is your opinion of all that?

Yep but Zach got better and so will Josh Smith. Benching a guy with the drops isn't always the solution though it's good to see others getting playing time too. Johnathan Johnson had a great catch.

He's Azzani's little bud. Here we face a team that has a huge WR corps, and they use them. We too have 3 huge WR's, but never play one, and seldom the other.

If we will play North, Croom and Harris in the same sets, it will start to show...but instead we play Sir Drops-A-Lot, Johnson and Blanc. I'd rather play Bowles than Smith. With Dobbs trying to get his feet under him, he needs those 3 big targets (North, Croom and Harris) to throw to...

I don't understand why they didn't hire you guys as the coaching staff. I mean it seems like any one of you could coach any position so between 7-8 of you drunks we'd have ourselves a staff full of geniuses.

He has had a few big misses this year but there is potential. He did catch a TD pass against Jawja. He is true frosh. North has missed some balls too.

Ask why he drops the ball 5 times to hopefully arrive at something close to a cause preferably the 'root' cause.......
