Dennis Dixon - Playing time in the playoffs?

by MarineCorpsDuck on Jan 5, 2009 9:15 AM PST Comment 74 comments

My NFL team, the Chargers, is playing the Steelers this week in the playoffs. I've been on Behind the Steel Curtain for the past couple of days talking to their fans about the game. We got off on a tangent when I said that if both of the Steelers' QB's went down and DD came in the game, I'd probably start rooting for the Steelers to win. I asked what they thought DD's chances were of getting to the #2 spot in the next couple of years, and several of them said they think he will soon.

Then a guy came on and said that he thought I'd enjoy this article. It got me pretty excited at the thought of Dixon getting on the field in his rookie year. The Steeler fans seem really excited about him and sound like they recognize his playmaker ability and want to see him in the games.

I have entirely too much fun with dvieira’s stuff. I posted the Lyle one in the Sun Bowl gameday thread the other day. It was all in good fun, but I think I hit a nerve with a few people. Lesson learned. I truly was not trying to troll…since the Beavs were still winning I didn’t think it was over the line.

They're still a little prickly.

After getting blown out in the CW, my buddies in Beaver Nation were hoping for a big win over Pitt. Say what you will about a win being a win, most of the Beaver fans I know were miserable about their performance, even without the Rogers boys. That was about as close to a loss to a crappy Pitt team as you can get.

Playoffs?!?!

I am actually looking for reverse karma to happen…bear with me here…

Roethlisberger is not 100%, but is expected to play and Leftwich is not entirely effective at times. It’s not often that you see a backup pulled out of a game for the 3rd stringer, but I see a possiblilty that Mike Tomlin could make Dixon effective somewhere in the game plan, even if it’s not directly at QB. The Wildcat formation is getting some good use and I think it could be effective for Dixon, such as on this play…

Here’s hoping to see an opportunity for Dixon to shine. He lost his chance to shine in the big game due to injury. I think the Karma gods could help out a guy who deserves a shot.

Conversely, I hope the Karma gods don’t strike me down for wishing ill on others!!

that him in a number 2 just reminds me of Terrelle Pryor.

Pryor

I was watching him last night and thinking, “I actually think I am glad we got Masoli instead”. I may change my tune if Pryor gets a lot better, but I think right now Masoli is better. Even if Pryor turns out to be really good, I bet he leaves after his Jr year so we even get the same number of years out of Masoli.

I think the difference between the two is that Pryor was recruited more as a mobile QB than a passer whereas Masoli was recruited more as a passer. There is a quote somewhere in which Bellotti mentions that when they recruited Masoli, they didn’t know how good of a runner he really was

Pryor was much better in high school, and even the army All-American game.
He lost his throwing motion (Or it is more apparent?).

He was always a strong runner, and a good decision maker with the option, but I think Harper is a better athlete, and from what I’ve seen from this year, Darron Thomas is a better passer – And Oregon was running high on Costa at the time too.

Pryor probably knew the scene he was adopting in Oregon, and knew he wouldn’t be a starting QB.

I work with someone who is pretty plugged into the Buckeye community. After the USC game, the feeling in Columbus was that Boeckman was the entire reason why they lost to USC. They rationalize that loss by saying “If Pryor was in there, we would have won”. There was a lot of pressure on Tressel to get Pryor into the rotation and he did pretty well with Beanie back there. Once Beanie goes out though, it became obvious that Pryor hasn’t developed the passing aspect of his game.

In a lot of ways, he reminds me of Chris Harper

Maybe Tressel just can't coach a QB...

He did a good job with Troy Smith (who had some great receivers), and that was it.

The problem with someone like Pryor is that he’s very talented, so you don’t want to get him to change how he does things (like throw), but sometimes you have to.

I also think that Boeckman wasn’t a very good QB. Serviceable for sure, but not how you beat USC or Texas.

the honest feeling I get is that Boeckman had a truly horrible game against one of the best teams of the nation on a national stage and the Buckeye faithful was embarrassed. They had this big name recruit and boy did they want him in. Even in the games before that, people wanted to see Pryor in the game regardless of what Boeckman did.

I think Tressel caved to the pressure and gave up on Boeckman too soon. Pryor impressed against sub-par teams and he got exposed on his passing game with Beanie out against a quality opponent.

He wasn't that great last year...

He just doesn’t have the physical ability to make plays in the football game, with his feet or his legs. He wasn’t going to win the USC game, or most likely the Texas game.

It’s sort of like the Roper/Masoli debate, except if Masoli never got good. I’d still say put in Masoli, because you know Roper’s ceiling, and it’s not that great.

Ropert is a good Duck

I’m as happy as everyone else about Masoli turning the corner and putting a death-grip on the QB position, but props to Roper for being an awesome teammate. He’s got a pretty decent record as a starter, a bowl victory, and a solid chance to see more snaps given our recent QB injury issues. Go Ropert!

at the Holiday Bowl, right as the Gatorade showers started, Ropert started screaming at the offense to get focused and get back in the game for the last drive. He basically took over the offensive unit while Bellotti was getting drenched. That really impressed me.

He definitely seems like a leader on the sidelines when you see the QBs together. There were several shots of him coaching up Masoli and Thomas on the sidelines during the Holiday Bowl.

I work with a die hard tOSU fan and he says the same thing. He thinks they would have won if Pryor played the whole game. Even AFTER losing to Texas just now. So…you coud only score 17 on Texas, but you think you will score more than that on USC in Pryor’s first start? He is completely irrational. He was trying to convince me that tOSU should be favored over Texas before that game.

Also from watching Pryor’s recruiting video, he played like he knew he was the best player in the country. Meaning he didn’t finish his runs like Thomas did and it never looked like he was giving a full effort because he was better than his current competition.

I think he still plays like that. I just don’t really like what I see out of him. I know he’s super talented, but I could totally see this kid not getting much better. Now, that being said, we’ll never know what CK could have done with this kid.

Pryor wants to prove that he can be an NFL Quarterback. NFL scouts have serious doubts (no rhyme intended) about spread QB’s

by inroywetrust on Jan 8, 2009 6:29 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs

I think that could change...

Scouts look for certain things. A QB must have the physical tools to make it in the NFL. But most important is completion percentage on top of that. If a QB can grasp any system well, they should have a good shot at the next level.

I think Dixon would have had a great shot due to his physical abilities, but his injury seriously hurt his chances.

Right, it could change, but it hasn’t yet. I feel like NFL teams will always be wary of drafting mobile QB’s early until one of them turns out to be really good in the NFL. Also, I heard that one of the reasons that Pryor chose OSU over Michigan was because it would be a better system for him to be able to show off his “NFL skill set.” Re: Dixon, I agree, but he still wouldn’t have been a 1st-round pick. Borderline second at best. Vince Young was a great runner, and had a solid completion percentage (it was around Dixon’s level, right?), but he hasn’t been able to adapt his passing to the NFL yet

I know what you’re saying, but I don’t think Pryor is going to enhance his draft position by showing his his “NFL skill set”. If Dixon hadn’t gotten injured, he would have easily been one of the top QBs drafted—I don’t think there’s any question about that.

If anything, running a high-scoring, statistic padding college offense at Oregon would have been the way to get ready for the NFL Draft. The NFL itself? Maybe not. But definitely the draft part.

You don't think

Dixon would’ve been right up there with Ryan?

IIRC, Dixon was getting serious Heisman buzz before he went down. All the cards started falling in the Ducks’ favor to be in the NC mix. That’s a whole lotta hype in the draft environment. Dixon was putting up better numbers than Ryan against better competition.

Obviously, a lot has to be assumed. But assuming that Dixon continued playing well, the Ducks would’ve been in a BCS bowl (possibly the NC), the Heisman hype would’ve been in overdrive (UO boosters would’ve certainly seen to that), and ATL would’ve definitely looked at him with their first pick. If not them, there were other teams that would’ve taken him in the first round. Tampa Bay, Detroit (bah), Baltimore. It was a pretty thin QB draft class, but Dixon would’ve been there with Ryan, and certainly with Flacco.

even with the Heisman, I don’t think it’d be enough to overshadow other factors. with first round consideration comes more scrutiny and analysis, and i think dixon would’ve gotten flak for being a spread quarterback, for being skinny, for being a one year superstar and thereby drawing akili smith comparisons. being that he was hurt and pretty low risk as a fifth rounder, none of this really got put under the microscope. the way flacco tested at the combine, i dont think a heisman and two kneed dixon pushes ahead of him. same with matt ryan, who had a heisman pedigree for a while last year too. best case scenario last year IMO, we’re disappointed about not going to another BCS bowl, but not that disappointed because of our shiny BCS championship trophy, and Dixon’s the third QB off the board.

Just had a thought...

If Pittsburgh makes it to the Super Bowl to Face Carolina, who do we root for????

I honestly would be torn between Dixon and J-Stew!

Oh the humanity! (It’s not really that dramatic, but still!!)

May we hand you your taints on a silver platter...

For me? Carolina unless Dixon starts/plays due to injuries.

"When Bellotti attempted to shake the hand of Oklahoma State quarterback Zac Robinson after the game, Robinson offered his left hand. His right was swollen and battered from the Ducks' defense."
