I'm Calling it Now: Trade for Dennis Dixon

[Sam Mills Fan]

Who is the duck coach? Maybe we should get him too.

It was Mike Bellotti who left coaching to take the AD position at Oregon.

This thread is sad..lol

No way pitt would trade him.They drafted him to be the future at backup QB.they wont let him go now.

You guys know that Jake Delhomme has HAD games where he was "throwing daggers".

I cant wait til we get a QB so everyone on here will stop shooting their collective wads when they see any high school, college, and NFL QB play well in one game , and think of some dumb ass way to bring them here.

I don't mind shooting my wad on this thread, I wanted us to draft Dixon when he came out b/c I KNEW he was going to be good. I also knew he could be a steal late in the draft b/c of the injury and other issues.

Like I said, watch the game... People were blowing their loads all offseason about Tyler Thigpen, but Dixon is better than him, he just hasn't played b/c he's on the Steelers. Just watch him, the guy has potential to be a franchise QB.

And BTW, dpantherman, keep watching...

Lets not get carried away yet and the game is far from over. That being said being able to plug him in versus the Ravens defense and have him play fairly well and not do anything stupid yet is positive. A lot of people feel Troy Smith the Ravens back up is capable of doing the same thing given the chance. There are quite a few qbs in the league that fit this style, T. Jackson, T. Smith, D. Dixon, V. Young, P. White, Nate Davis, and the list goes on. These styles of QB emerge after sitting and learning a few years and all generally get plugged into teams with strong running games and good defense. The panthers have both going for them so sure why not take the risk but do you think the current coaching staff could call a game to cater to this type of QB?

I just checked and Batch's contract is up after this season. They'll probably elect to not resign him and keep Dixon as the primary backup if he keeps this level of play up.

Put Tom Brady in there, makes it sound more realistic.

YUCK, lol... It depends, I think he's could be worth a 4th or 3rd rounder. Before you flame, just think, if you can get a reliable QB for 10+ years for a 3rd round pick, you made a good deal. Odds are, that's not going to happen from draft prospects... Dixon is worth it.

Ideally, I wouldn't want to give that up for him, but that maybe what it takes to get the Steelers to give him up with Batch aging and his contract expiring.

Dixon can also get rid of the ball.

I see women at halftime during the harris teeter challenge I think can throw better than Jake. LOL

Wow. BJDJSer... At this point I, and many others here, WILL take ANY QB who plays well. Have you not been watching the games this year, and the playoffs last year? Stick a fork in your boy Jake, he's done. Might as well have served him up on a platter for thanksgiving.

Dixon wont be on the market..

I hate to rub salt in the wounds, but we chose Charles Godfrey, Dan Connor, and Gary Barnidge ahead of Dixon in the '08 draft.
