Agreed the 2nd TE has been a weak point this year.  But to use that Shockley example is a Horrible comparison.  Dickson is a Good pass catching TE.  He's looked Good whenever Olsen has gone down.  Remember the dart Cam threw 2 inches from the falcons guys head to Dickson in the back of the end zone wide open.  

Chud liked to use those 2 TE sets but they were 2 receiving TE sets.  Had Shula been here then we'd be freaking out how bad Shockey or Olsen was in that blocking TE role.  Shula uses the 2nd TE primarily as a blocker and Dickson can't block to save his life.  It's like using Tolbert (even in his prime) as a example as a primary blocking FB like a Hoover. Tolbert could run and pass catch for a FB.  One of the better FBs to do that but was a horrible blocker.  Has he spent his career on a team that uses him as a primary blocker he would've been out of the league

I believe that will be an emphasis next year if things play out like I think/hope they will . 

If anyone noticed the sheer amount of roster spots preseason we had set aside for TE. I felt like the game plan coming in from the off season was to establish two dual threat TE's, maybe a third. It's the relatively new tweak (advantage) that some teams have been using. We tried and didn't find the talent. 

Wont be surpised if we try the same thing next year, just a bit more aggressively.

      this is where the Bryce defense goes off the rails for me.  We all know Bryce isn't a deep ball chunk play QB.  He doesn't have those physical tools and he doesn't play the game w/ that mindset.  It simply is not what he is.  Then you got folks going essentially going, well actually Shaq was a very efficient 3 pt shooter this season.  He shot 50% from behind the arc and Steph Curry was only at 48%.  So yeah, Shaq is a very effective 3 pt shooter.  Don't say he isn't a 3 point shooter.  Meanwhile, Shaq went 1 of 2 on the season and Steph shot 9343924 3s.  Russell Wilson is a deep ball chunk QB.  Baker is. Geno was his comeback season (best in the league that year I think is the correct call).  That's the Canales pass tree. EVERY QB throws deep at some point.  Arguing you can find a good grade when they went deep one week is just that.   No one can argue Bryce plays the game like a young Wilson throwing f you hail marys downfield.   Jake Delhomme fits Canales more than any Carolina Panther QB.  Teddy Bridgewater can grade out efficiently on his deep passes.  That doesn't make him a deep ball chunk QB.  2 totally different convos.    It would be better for everyone IMO if our org accepted what the unicorn was and built a team around that given they invested so much in him.....which is the criticism I started day 1 when they put him in Frank Reich's offense.  He didn't fit that.  He doesn't fit the Canales tree either.    NFL is about fit more than anything and it's what Carolina gets most wrong.  We essentially run offenses we don't have the QB talent for and you can say the same w/ the 3-4 D.  That's the Bryce era.
