Jaguars place Nick Foles on IR; trade for QB Dobbs

[Auggie]

Foles underwent surgery Monday to repair a broken left collarbone, which he suffered in the first quarter of Sunday's loss to the Chiefs.

In desperate need for QB depth, the Jaguars announced they have traded for Steelers backup quarterback Josh Dobbs. Rapoport added Pittsburgh will receive a 2020 fifth-rounder in the deal. Dobbs, a fourth-round pick in the 2017 draft, has attempted just 12 passes in his three-year career.

"attempted just 12 passes in his three-year career"

Meanwhile, Colin Kaepernick gets another year older. One could indulge in a world of schadenfreude over Jacksonville's coming misfortunes, except it's the entire NFL that has blackballed him. So unfair.

1. As a Steelers fan, I'm sorry to see Dobbs go.The team

clings to Roethlisberger and no other promising QB gets a chance here (hence the low pass attempts). Dobbs was the next in line last season without much opportunity to play. Hopefully Dobbs has found a place with the Jaguars.

3. Maybe to complete the unforeseen movement of NFL QBs

the Steelers should trade to acquire Blake Bortles as Big Ben's backup!

2. He graduated in Aerospace Engineering

while playing varsity football at a high level. Now that is impressive.

I wish him the best.

If Colin Kaepernick was serious about coming back into the NFL, he should be playing in the CFL. No team is going to pick him up at the start of the season given the amount of time he has been out.
