Is Ed Dickson really better than Scott Simonson?

[B.BERSIN]

Tight end Scott Simonson, who played five games for Carolina and was waived last week, has been added to the practice squad

Ed was looking pretty good last week. If he were our first string TE he wouldn't be much to praise or complain about, he'd be probably middle of the pack. But let's face it, there aren't many TEs who compare well up against Greg Olsen. Ed's good and he has a lot of experience in our system.

Simonson might be good, but he apparently needs more work. Moving him down to the practice squad is a good move. TE just isn't a place of worry for us right now. We're pretty blessed there.

Ed's not great but Simonson really hasn't shown much at all.

I look at them both as JAG right now. Simonson is unproven, and likely needs the practice to before he's actually prepared to be a pro. Dickson, though below average for a TE1, probably falls in line with most of the other TE2s in the league. Given that Dickson has the experience over a youngster who really hasn't proven to be anything special, he logically gets the nod.

If Greg gets hurt for any appreciable amount of time, we're going to have to figure something else out (whether it be with the TEs or the WRs).

Shown some flashes? I like dickson but he is older and on the tail end of his career most likely. I know you're new but try to go against the grain and have some sense and reasoning when you comment

Dickson is lackluster overall, but Simonson has done nothing and shown nothing.

Regarding replacing Dickson: the answer is not on the roster.

The only TE that did show something (Lucas) was cut because we value strong blockers (Such as Mike Tolbert.......)

Seems like we could have worked with Lucas. Just another thing I don't get.

I suspect the Panthers will be seeking another Richie Brockel this offseason to replace Tolbert. I don't see them wanting an actual blocking fullback, unfortunately.
