The Browns may keep three backup quarterbacks because the NFL is modifying the rules to allow teams to activate another position player on gameday.
If Deshaun Watson misses a series, game, or more, theMMQB's Matt Verderame ranks the Browns 19th in the NFL with Joshua Dobbs.
This isn't bad. 13 teams have backup quarterbacks worse than Dobbs.
He's valuable in the quarterback meeting room and as an extra set of eyes for Deshaun Watson on game day.
but he's also a great example for rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson, the Browns' fifth-round 2023 NFL Draft quarterback from UCLA.
Dobbs lost the two games he started for the Tennessee Titans last year, but they had the league's worst offense.
Dobbs was useful, but he didn't improve others. If he had to play, Amari Cooper, David Njoku, Elijah Moore, Donovan Peoples-Jones, and Nick Chubb could help him.
