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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
