Dobbs posted a video to social media on Tuesday which revealed that when he attempted to order a jersey from the team store, his jersey didn't come up on the list of options.
What does a guy have to do to get some love, Arizona? Maybe the front office is just upset Dobbs didn't get the tanking memo.
Before the season, most predicted Arizona to be the worst team in football, but through three weeks, the Cardinals look miles ahead of the disasters in Chicago and Denver.
Arizona won its first game in Week 3 as an 11-point pregame underdog against the Cowboys, who had defeated their first two opponents 70-10.
Per ESPN Stats & Info, the 28-16 Cardinals win was the Cowboys' "largest upset loss since 2006 and third-largest over the last 25 seasons."
The Cardinals have outscored their opponents 65-37 this season through the first three quarters. Arizona blew leads in Weeks 1 and 2 but avoided a third consecutive collapse against Dallas.
The team's been much more competitive than anyone on the outside predicted it would. Arizona ranks 10th in team defense-adjusted value over average (DVOA). The Cardinals have impressed on offense, ranking eight in offensive DVOA, 14.9% better than a league-average unit.
Dobbs is 59-of-82 (72%) for 549 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions through three games.
The Cardinals are one of the bigger surprises in the league, and Dobbs has played a significant role in the team's inspired play to start the season. It's time for Arizona to put some respect on his name. It can start by adding it to the team store.
