Do I agree with your scenario? No. I respectfully disagree.
First off Landry isn’t being traded. It’s been discussed since last year when Dobbs was drafted that Ben is more comfortable during games because Landry can see things on the sidelines that Ben can’t see. He always asks for input from Landry when he’s coming off the field because Landry knows the offense about as well as Ben does. It’s like having a second pair of eyes looking at the formations & coverages, etc. He wouldn’t have that comfort level or confidence with two guys who doesn’t have that command of the offense to see things like a veteran offers.
Second, from the games themselves, Dobbs has outperformed Rudolph this preseason. Mason is playing like Dobbs did last year. He has gotten better with each game prep. Dobbs has shown much more consistency and understanding of the offensive scheme, check downs, patience...etc. His TD to Patterson was a good example. Stepping out of the pocket and rifling the pass was a smart play. Last year Dobbs would have kept the ball and ran. So Joshua has shown much promise to be a competent signal caller. However, I expect Mason if he doesn’t get any snaps this year to be much farther ahead next training camp than Dobbs was this year. He has a higher ceiling than Dobbs, plain and simple.
Hopefully a phantom injury occurs and Dobbs is placed on IR. But CAR will be looking at Dobbs and one of our corners for a possible trade. Their QB situation behind Newton is laughable at best...and Dobbs skill set may actually mirror Newton’s offense better. CAR also needs another corner. So watch who gets a lot of snaps tonight. I’ve heard Sensabaugh has been floating on the writers sheet as trade block material.
