I'm Calling it Now: Trade for Dennis Dixon


TylerDurden

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!!!

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
