Catfish Bob Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Yes Could be the next Tom Brady or Russell Wilson rotting away on the bench. Won't know until we try! If he's crap we will at least tank properly and lock in that #1 pick. What if Dolegala appears to certainly have the potential to be a serviceable QB next season and beyond?

|High School Harry| Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 I think so. Can't be any worse than Bad Andy or Finley. At least I hope he can't. Article on Bengals Wire where the Patriot DB who picked Andy twice said he knew what was coming from film study and there won't be any on Doogie. Of course, the Patriot didn't say WHAT film study, of the game play or the signals coming in from the sidelines. Anyway, I think its safe to say Finley will be told to find his life's work after the final game and I think we should see what we have in Doogie as far as a backup to Athens Joe next season.

Le Tigre Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Only if he averaged 35 pts a game and was a Mr. Basketball; or at least struck out 10 and homered 3 times a game in HS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that an Anthony Munoz reference? Heard him on the pregame show on the radio while driving to the stadium and I think he said he did something like that.

|SF2| Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 I think he was referring to this High School star. By the way, the reason the Doligaga is not playing is the coaches know he sucks. It really isn't that hard to figure out once the guy shows up at camp and is around other players.

Le Tigre Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Tongue in cheek. Go back to Bob's first adulatory analysis of Finley. (In jest, Bob, do enjoy your love diaries of QB's 😀) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebengal Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Why the hell not at this point? The only caveat I have is that, Miami is currently ranked 30th in defense and Cleveland is ranked 17th but will probably drop after they play Baltimore on Sunday. If Dolegala does well, is it because teams do not have tape on him, because he is playing against crappy defenses, or because he's good? There may be no way if determining that.

thezerawkid Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 There is absolutely no reason not to. In fact, it makes perfect sense to see what he’s got. At least know who you’d rather groom as Burrow’s second stringer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As sure as the sun will come up tomorrow. LOL. Who the hell knows, he could cure malaria after throwing a huge 3rd down pass for all we know. Anything's possible. Maybe they should try starting ME at QB? You never know, I could be the next Russel Wilson. Might as well see what they've got. I'm already 47, they should hurry up and kick the tires. See if there's any life left in this old horse. I can't be worse than Andy Dalton, and I have much nicer hair. And I will sleep with Giselle Bundchen if that's what the position demands.

Mariota would make sense if/when he gets cut.....especially if Callahan is still here with his ties to Oregon/Chip Kelly and all. That said, I doubt Callahan survives the off-season. I would imagine we'll see both coordinators get the ax shortly after the Browns game. Neither of them were Taylor's first choice at their positions after all. Anurumo wasn't even a top 5 choice for him...hell he tried to hire a college DB coach ( Jeff Hafley), before he finally settled on Anurumo lol. I can't imagine he survives.

gupps Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 I don't see why he shouldn't be given a chance to play. It's not like we would be endangering a playoff spot. And seriously, could he do any worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 Fine, start Dolegala. Then pull him after his 4th interception before he gets a chance to show he's worse than Dalton. I'd be willing to bet that Dolegala, if thrown into the starting lineup with no special preparation could do better than Dalton's 2.0 game.

sparky151 Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 Yet, we were afraid to put him on the practice squad and kept him on the 53 man roster despite various injuries at other positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. I'm just fooling around with the over dramatic no. No. No. Mariota is certainly worth taking a peek at. The cat fish Bob analogy of Mariota is that he is like a wrecked 5th gen Camaro on the internet. Worth taking a look at see what's there. Might be a good choice if we look at it like we are building the offense around Mixon and his rare elite abilities. Then again I can't tell ya the last time I saw a Titans game. Dude was a beast at Oregon. What's happened since then, idk, maybe the PAC 12 was super overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dub Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 They know what they have in Dolebanana the same way they knew what they had in Finley: jack shit. Neither of these guys were a mystery to anyone. But at this point, why not play him anyway? Dalton obviously checked out when they benched him. Start Dolegala, hell start the 10th caller to the pregame show on Sunday, start Fiona the Hippo, it makes no difference. Unless there's some line-up that gives us the first 10 picks in the draft I don't see much reason to worry about it one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|westside bengal| Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 I say they rotate an Offensive Lineman in as QB on every possession just to show each one how offensive they are as linemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
