Ed Dickson visiting the Panthers

[SauceBoss]

Oh and give up on Brandon Williams, ain't gonna happen.

[Ghost of Steve Smith]

Brandon Williams sucks.

[Ghost of Steve Smith]

He's the new Armanti.

If Dickson is signed then there might not be room for Williams unless he shows that he can block. Honestly, with his strength and overall body size; he should be a great blocker and he could very well prove that during the offseason and preseason. However, if somehow he doesn't (and Dickson is signed), Williams might not make the roster due to the numbers game.

TE's currently on the roster: Greg Olsen, Brandon Williams, Mike McNeill, D C Jefferson and Richie Brockel. Someone would be the odd man out.

So did we take the dick?

[Peppers90 NC]

i could see Olsen, Dickson, Williams and Brockel

So did we take the dick?

if you had to aks it prolly wasnt big enough

[Fox007]

More big targets for Cam, the better. He needs big targets. I think Dickson's hands issue is overblown. He's been a solid player in the past.

 

 

It's not...his hands are just as big if not a bigger question than GInns was when we brought him in.

[MHS831]

The more I am reading, the more I would rather pass.  Now that I said that, he will be a Panther by the end of the day.

[Catalyst]

He'd be a guy who would be brought in to compete; he wouldn't be a lock to make the roster.

He only dropped 4 out of 43 last year.  Not great, but not horrible.  Certainly on the left of the spectrum though.

 

Olsen by comparison dropped 4 out of 111, but Olsen has great hands compared to most of the league.

Yea that's nearly 10%....that's awful...if that isn't awful then what % is fine in your opinion since Olsen is at 3.6%

 

This signing would be all about potential upside and that's it...hoping that we get something out of him that hasn't really manifested before(aside from a 500 5TD year that ONE time).

 

This isn't about wow we are getting a solid player or even a good starter...he's someone else's backup....who had issues with drops and trouble blocking...

 

Even still I would fine with the attempt as we need competition and more options in the receiving area.....it's more of a low risk high reward type of scenario that Gman seems to favor....but people can't sit here and pretend this is something it's not...

 

Like people blast Nicks or w/e FA because they didn't sign with Carolina then if they would have came here they would have been the poo....this scenario reminds me of that because if some Ed Dickson signed with Tampa or Atlanta pretty much everyone would be like "oh wow haha that guy drops the ball too much haha teh tardz Falconz yall sucks"
