Joshua Dobbs has significantly impressed during the San Francisco 49ers' preseason, especially in their game against the New Orleans Saints. Dobbs completed 12 of 21 passes for 133 yards and a touchdown, showcasing his ability to perform under pressure and without key offensive players. His performance has sparked debates about his potential to secure the QB2 position over Brandon Allen. Head coach Kyle Shanahan has not officially decided on the backup quarterback, but Dobbs' dynamic play and ability to lead scoring drives make him a strong candidate. Brock Purdy, the starting quarterback, had a lackluster preseason debut, struggling without the team's star players. Despite his journeyman career, Dobbs' preseason performances have made a compelling case for his role as a reliable backup.
