Ed Dickson visiting the Panthers

[jayflip]

I'm down for the Dickson...

[iamhubby1]

If he signs here, he is #2. That automatically ups the stakes for who gets that 3rd one. Gon' be fun. As well as giving us a young, talented, TE to groom as Olsen's replacement down the line. Two for one kinda deal. Upping his value, in a business type decision. All that together. Doesn't make sense not to sign him.

IF he is coming here to sign. YEEAAAAA. If he is coming here to visit? yea. At least we are in the running And we have Cam as bait.

are you making fun of madden tards like me or are you a fellow madden tard.?

 

 

yes

Dickson only dropped five of the 43 passes thrown his way last year. Here is how he did at the combine compared to LaFell:

LaFell - 4.58 forty at 6-3/211

Dickson - 4.59 forty at 6-4/249

I would be thrilled to get him as our #2 TE. I think Cam would be too

 

Its just that in the 5 or 6 games I watched of the Ravens last season, he reminded me of Lafell and showed me how truly valuable Dennis Pitta really is and probably one of the main reasons they didn't make the playoffs..

i like having players on the roster who can contribute and since I'm a fan and this isn't coming out of my paycheck, don't feel the need to make some meaningless seemingly obligatory comment about a hypothetical contract

Writing on the wall for Hartsock.

 

two different roles, I doubt we get right of Hartsock.

Gettlefap?

 

no more needs to be said. I would love this signing.

Not the PFF is the be all end all, but Dickson has a miserable -16.1 rating according to their system. Ouch.

 

It comes from his horrible run blocking grade.

 

 

They can sign him for next to nothing in guaranteed salary, pit him against a possible later round draft pick and/or Brandon Williams for competition and cut him with little to no cap affect if he doesn't pan out.

Duuuuuuuuuuuude

@billvoth: Between Dickson’s possible addition and w/Mike McNeill already in fold, seems apparent Ben Hartsock’s time w/#Panthers is done.

Nah they already signed someone to replace Hartsock.  Mike McNeill

Dickson and B-Williams will be competing to be Greg Olsen's backup as pass-catching TE.

I hate when we sign players.

I love when we sign players.

Was Hartsock really to expensive to keep?  He was a great blocker...seems like we'd want to keep him...
