In three seasons, the quarterback has completed 53.9-percent of his throws for 1,712 yards. He’s tossed eight touchdowns and 11 interceptions. His rating stands at 63.5. On 26th May, 2010, he was signed with the Toronto Argonauts as a backup to former Miami Dolphins quarterback, Cleo Lemon.
At six-foot-four and 220 pounds, Dorsey offers a fine size and frame for a NFL quarterback. He’s an intelligent player, possessing sound mechanics and fine awareness in the pocket. His short and intermediate passes are accurate and catchable. He plays well under pressure and moves away from hits while in the pocket. However, Dorsey’s weak arm strength negates the long ball and his relative immobility makes it tough for him to make broken plays work.
