It is common for there to be collateral damage in battle. Even when that ‘battle’ is metaphorical, like a roster battle to decide which players make the team as a certain position. The Pittsburgh Steelers basically always carry three quarterbacks, with very few exceptions, but they have four rosterable players at the position currently on their 90-man roster.
As was the case back in 2018, the assumption from the very beginning has been that Joshua Dobbs, the fifth-year veteran, will be odd man out. But head coach Mike Tomlin after Thursday night’s game, and Dobbs’ play during it, served as a reminder that that’s not the case, as the only quarterback on the night who was able to consistently move the ball.
