I'm Calling it Now: Trade for Dennis Dixon

Recommended Posts

Watch the game tonight. I thought the guy had a future watching him his last year in college. His stock dropped tremendously around draft time b/c he shredded his knee and he was another victim of the "better athlete than QB" stereotype.

The guy can ball. Strong arm, accurate, and mobile.

He was a front runner for the heisman when he shredded his knee. He might be the only backup on a roster I would be interested in. Oh, Brohm too. I learned recently that Brohm grew up in Louisville so he never truly went away from home until he was drafted. Maybe that were some of his issues in Green Bay.

Well, I don't think we'll be able to see much of him tonight apparently, they keep handing off to keep him from making mistakes out of 3rd and long situations.

If you saw him in the preseason, he looked the same as he did in college. The Steelers are going to have to let him throw it sometime tonight though...

YES, bring Dixon in and we can just make the Panthers look like the Oregon ducks. Picture this Dennis Dixon playing Quarterback with Jonathan Stewart in the backfield, Dante Rosario catching balls from Dennis Dixon, Geoff Schwartz blocking for Dixon and Stewart. I can see it now the OREGON CONNECTION, and when Dixon is out Feeley is in.

QB- Dennis Dixon

QB- A.J. Feeley

RB- Jonathan Stewart

TE- Dante Rosario

OT- Geoff Schwartz

I LIKE IT!!!

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
