At least that's how he looked in College. I don't think that Dixon is the second coming of Slash,Randall Cunningham or anyone else that would rather run than throw. I wouldn't want to see a talented kid like that get thrown into a gimmicky play and watch him get massacred. Our Steelers have won championships with and without such trickery. Sure, its fun to watch a team catch another off guard with a gadget here or there, but if the Steelers are running the ball well regularly no such tricks will be needed. Personally, I think this years offense is going to be very impressive and make another title seem to be within close reach. Lets let Dixon develop as a QB and see where he is then. If this line can run block better than last year, I imagine great things for the offense. Guys, we should all remember that Dennis Dixon is a stand in the pocket type of QB.
