Brutal. lol

Aw lawd, reeled in another one.

(And here I thought the :P was making it too obvious.)

As bad as Dickson was, my LVP would be Teddy Williams. He was garbage all season.

Sidenote: I think Henry is in play for us at the end of the 1st and would be amazing in our offense.... the kid is a baller.  We pondered TEs in the draft recently, and Henry is a beast.  I agree that DE and CB would have to be off the board, and if a solid LT doesn't drop either.

Dickson and swole bones were major disappointments.

A shame that the Panthers passed on re-signing Barnidge in the 2013 off season for a project in 2013 and then the LVP in 2014.

Unfortunately, Dickson ended up grading out as the worst blocker at his position this season, his fourth consecutive year with a negative outlook in that regard from Pro Football Focus. He also failed to move the needle in Carolina's aerial attack, gaining just 7.1 yards per reception, the second-lowest mark among tight ends with at least 25 targets.

I wonder how Gettleman will handle Dickson not living up to his 'blocking TE' standards.  We'd save $1.23 mil in cap space by letting him walk, potentially replacing him with a cheaper FA or mid/late round draft selection.

 

Theres just too many 2nd tightend options out there and the possibility of a TE being BPA during the draft.

Not this poo again

so many spelling errors in this thread

Dickson was really a bad signing for us. He's a pass catching TE who can't catch. We knew that when we signed him. It was a waste of money.

Again, this analysis depends on an understanding of what Dixon was asked to do and only the coaches know that. Not saying there is no merit to it, but I've learned to take this stuff with a HUGE grain of salt. I don't think Dixon was brought here for his ability to block.

Brandon Williams and Marcus Lucas looked way better than Dickson in the preseason. I still don't know how he still made the team.

There are some really good and inexpensive TEs hitting FA this year. I would love if we upgraded.
