Dennis Dixon as QB # 2?

Rumblings on steelers board is that Dennis Dixon will be released... would be a solid option to backup Cam.

I'd love Dixon. Or the other Oregon QB in the draft this year, with a later round pick. Dixon would be preferrable.

Would rather use the draft choice on something other than QB.

Getting a sixth rounder that can actually give the team a quality option at that position is rare. If you have a chance to get a player that could be a back-up QB for years, you take it.

Dennis Dixon would be a dang good backup but Im another one that thinks if we can get Russell Wilson in the 6th round, it will be a steal, especially in our system.

Hes a short QB, but his skills are ridiculous and hes got the smarts to be an NFL QB. Im a UNC fan too so no homer here.

Darron Thomas (the Oregon kid) will likely be available as an UDFA. And, if so, would be an excellent signing for the Panthers.

Of course, if people think RG3 would take a pounding because he's smaller than Cam (and I agree with them), Thomas is even thinner than RG3 (I think he may be a bit taller but weighs a good bit less).

But, again, would be an excellent UDFA signing.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
