Well i kind of agree if Dixon is having a positive impact on our winning games,then why disrupt his starting. I have some doubts,but if it turns out he is doing a superb job,then why yank him. After all Leftwich is a back up anyway. Then my boy Batch will finally hang up the cleats. Is Byron willing to accept the roll Charlie has played all these years?

Let's cross those bridges when we come to them.

No point in thinking about the future when it'll be dictated by what happens now.

Well it's not time to make that decision just yet, but of course that is an easy agreement, if Dixon comes in and plays great and looks like a winning QB Im sure Tomlin will give him the next game to prove it is no fluke.
