Published: 2024-09-22

Working as emergency QB again
Published: 2024-09-15
Dobbs (coach's decision) will serve as San Francisco's emergency third quarterback Sunday versus the Vikings, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
It's the second consecutive week that Dobbs has been designated the 49ers' emergency QB, as Brandon Allen has emerged as the team's preferred choice to back up Brock Purdy. Dobbs will be able to enter Sunday's game only if both Purdy and Dobbs become unavailable due to injury or ejection.
Will be emergency quarterback
Published: 2024-09-09
Dobbs (coach's decision) is designated as San Francisco's emergency third quarterback for Monday's game versus the Jets, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
While technically inactive, Dobbs would be available for the 49ers in the event that both Brock Purdy and backup Brandon Allen went down due to injury. He appeared in 13 games last year with the Cardinals and the Vikings.
Could secure backup QB role
Published: 2024-08-19
Dobbs may be the frontrunner to back up Brock Purdy in San Francisco after his performance in a 16-10 win over the Saints on Sunday, Kevin Patra of the team's official site reports.
Dobbs led the 49ers on three scoring drives while completing 12 of his 21 passing attempts for 133 yards, and also ran the ball three times for 25 yards and a touchdown. The Tennessee product is considered to be competing with Brandon Allen for the job, with head coach Kyle Shannahan not tipping his hand, stating, "Dobbs got to play a little bit more and I thought he did a real good job leading on some of those drives. When Brandon came in, he did the same. It was very similar to last week. The games have been tight, the practices have been tight. So, it's a good problem we have right now."
First QB used after starter
Published: 2024-08-19
Dobbs was the first backup quarterback to enter Sunday's exhibition contest for San Francisco.
Dobbs wound up completing 57 percent of his passes for 133 yards and a rushing touchdown. Fellow backup Brandon Allen started the last preseason contest ahead of the Passtronaut, but the players reversed roles while serving as the backups against the Saints. Brock Purdy (2-6, 11 yards) is the unquestioned starter despite some rusty throws Sunday, but Dobbs may have leaped ahead of Allen based on both production and usage as Week 1 approaches.
Competing for backup role
Published: 2024-08-14
Dobbs will compete with Brandon Allen for the No. 2 quarterback role in San Francisco this preseason, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
The 49ers' star-studded roster has created no controversy over who will start come Week 1, leaving the battle to be Brock Purdy's backup as the key competition this preseason. Dobbs performed well in the team's first preseason contest, completing 70 percent of his passes for 146 yards and a rushing touchdown. The journeyman's lone turnover came on a failed Hail Mary attempt, so we won't hold that against him. The key takeaway from Saturday's exhibition was that Dobbs entered the contest in the second half after Allen (53.8 completion percentage for 98 yards). The two veteran backups will continue to prove their worth as the start of the regular season approaches.
Finds work in San Francisco
Published: 2024-03-18
The 49ers and Dobbs agreed to a contract Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
In 13 games (12 starts) between the Cardinals and Vikings this past season, Dobbs completed 262 of 417 (62.8 percent) of his passes for 2,464 yards, 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He also was viable as a runner, averaging 5.5 yards on his 77 carries while scoring six TDs on the ground. Brock Purdy is the unquestioned starting quarterback for San Francisco, but Dobbs' recent on-field work should give him a leg up on the backup job ahead of holdover Brandon Allen.
