It's not a bad bump. Dixon is in the same class as Hanie. He's a guy who might become a decent starter if given the chance.

So, if the FO wants someone to start, they go out and get a Dixon/Hanie. If they want someone to mentor Pickles and provide some competition for him, they get a Volek.

I'm not opposed to bringing Dixon or Volek in, but just want to point out that Pickles has more career NFL starts (10) than Volek (8). I know he's been in the league for a while, but that doesn't exactly scream "great mentor."

IMO, this veteran mentor stuff is overrated anyway. That's what all these "great coaching hires!!!" are for.

No Thigpen... He is horrible. I dont think we should waste time on a QB who couldn't beat out brodie croyle.

he put up comparable numbers to ben rapelisburger his (thigpen's) rookie year. meaning in 07 i think it was, his numbers were similar to big ben's and ben had been in the league a few years. not bad for a rookie.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      I mean as far as his size goes it's all over his tape bouncing up and down on his toes in and around the pocket trying to see the field and defenses know this as well as we do but if folks here want to live in never never land and pretend it's not a thing that's their prerogative. Even our head coach has made it a key focal point to get his footwork under control. But it's still something Bryce is going to be tested on early and often no matter how many keystrokes anyone here commits to the narrative it isn't an issue.

      It speaks volumes that when asked to define a clear performance threshold the responses instead fixate on Bryce's size. It reinforces what’s been clear for a while now... that for some, it has never been nor will it ever be about production. Any struggles will always be chalked up to his frame, and any strong play will be downplayed or disqualified via highly mobile goalposts.

      It is hard not to feel hopeless. There is some hope buried behind a hopeless wall but the hopeless wall is thick.  Going off of the last two games I don’t see how we win.  Team looked utterly defeated on Thursday, kinda like the Leafs did when the Panthers tied the series 2-2, and we all know how that ended.  I hope for the best. I will at least turn on the game for a little while.
