Child please.

Dixon is very inaccurate, does not throw a nice ball. Good guy, but touch is pretty lame.

You will have plenty of fast guys come and go. Defenses will adjust and we will back to “Yea, but he needs to learn to stay in the pocket and read his progressions” or, “those running qb’s never make it in the NFL long term due to the hits. See Michael Vick”. or……………..

But that never materized . If Ron Earhart was the OC the kid would have made a probowl .

Danny O’Neil in Seattle Times today wrote in his Seahawks blog about what teams would potentially be interested. Dixon may be good backup for Russell Wilson if Flynn leaves.

Local tv news just said Hawks may trade for Dwayne Bowe. Wonder if Flynn would be involved in that?

Its an obvious competition where both players can learn from each other. Also this would relieve some of the multiple issues that the Raiders face with the cap issue.

It’s a win win situation for both players, the team, and the organization.

However I also wanted Dennis Dixon to be pursued when Jason Campbell was injured.

He’s got to put on some weight, though, the NFL is a rough place my man!

Ben only appears mobile because of repeated bad offensive lines an his own natural escapability. But Arians didn’t have good enough tackles in Pittsburgh to do a bunch of roll out plays that you see Rogers, Griffin, and now Kap do almost routinely.. Those are the plays that I think Dixon could show his skill set best. But he’s going to have to just go
Somewhere with an open competition and see what happens.. I’ll be rooting for Dixon.. I miss him in he burgh. You can’t tell me that Leftwich is better.

I hope he catches on somewhere…I remember watching the game where he tore his acl and felt horrible for him…

He seemed to show some promise – and youth.

At the worst case he will give a bit of training camp competition, and at the best case he could be at least a part-time contributor.

This never crossed my mind. I always thought he showed promise as a steeler, never understood why he didn’t garner more of a shot somewhere else.

Running scout team at ‘thud’ tempo is a lot different than being the guy. I kind of expected this article to be about him moving into coaching from the title.
