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.

    • You can't keep around a former #1 pick as the backup to his replacement because he wasn't good enough. I think he has two career paths he can take.   The first is as that guy who signs with a new team every year to be the gap starter and/or backup depending on that team's situation.  Think guys like Jameis, Wilson, Brissett the last few years, as he'll be a game manager for them while they try to re-build the roster. The other is as a really good long term backup QB for one team.  He's smart and will make for a great addition to the QB room in film study and game prep.  He won't be a stud replacement if the starter goes down, but he'd be better than most other backups and you know he'll be ready to play when called upon.
