It’s not like I think that Dobbs is a legit starting NFL QB. But, I do think that he’s a decent backup. I think he can run Pelzing’s offense better than McCoy, because McCoy’s arm strength is pathetic at this stage in his career & his mobility is questionable too. Tune has far more positives than negatives, but his footwork is still being developed and defenses like Washington, New York, and Dallas would expose that. With more work, I do like Tune’s pocket presence, mobility, and lively arm. We obviously need a bridge to Murray & I think Dobbs best fits that mold right now.
Agree. But, they will keep him around just in case they can’t get Dobbs ready to start in the next 2 weeks. They are not going to throw Tune to the wolves unless they absolutely, positively have to.
Can be the only valid reason, I don't buy the mentor thing, if a player is good doesn't need any mentor
The best businessmen (Presidents, CEOs, etc) still have mentors and coaches.... even though they may also be mentors to someone else.

I know you think this but it is not my experience. I have known 3 new CEOs of a billion dollar+ corporation. Each time the company announced that the outgoing CEO was being retained for one year to mentor the incoming CEO. Each time the new CEO jettisoned the outgoing CEO within the first day. The new CEO has maybe advisors but not mentors. Mentoring happens before one arrives not after.
The players and coaches may not care about next years draft, but the FO surely does. The FO has clearly shown their priority is the future and not this year, so that's why paying big money for an old average kicker is really dumb!
When he was available for free?
The consensus is that we're taking an entire year off to evaluate and grow. Where does Prater fit in that equation? Shouldn't we be finding a solution for the future?
Hopefully it doesn't take multiple seasons of crappiness to make that happen!
So now we're trying to win? I'm told constantly that we're trying to lose. What is it?
Why not do that now? Why kick the can down the road? If the plan is blow it up and get a high pick, keeping Prater makes no sense.
You want to lose games 19-26, not 7-40.
You're honestly saying that spending almost 4 million for Prater a year will be the difference between losing 19-26 vs. 7-40?
The entire board, the entire media, the team itself? Did you just come out of a coma? We are the OVERWHELMING favorites to have the #1 pick.

This may come as a shock to you - even terrible teams have people show up and appear to work! This isn't a participation trophy league!
Not him alone, but they need to trot out decent players where they can
Except… he’s not a good kicker anymore. He’s average and injury prone.
You're paying 4M for a role than could be filled for 1M or less. What are we doing here?
