Lets see if we can logically build some trust in our man Dennis Dixon... (to reduce the anxiety).
Can he:
Hand the ball off ? Yes.
Drop back to pass out of the pocket ? Yes.
Roll out in a "play-action" style play ? Yes.
When he looks down field for his "hot" receiver, can he make the distinction
if he's open or not ? Yes.
If the receiver is open, can Dixon throw the ball accurately ? Yes.
If the receiver is NOT open, can Dixon scramble around until he spots one
that IS open ? Yes.
If Dixon cannot then find ANY receivers open, can he then run the
football (effectively) ? Yes.
If he cannot find any receiver open and the path to run the ball is closed, can he throw
the football away ? Yes.
Finally. WILL Dixon follow this basic QB'ing method (or one similar) for each and
every play while he's driving the ship ? The h*ll if I know !!!
So. From this factoring or simplification of his fundamental responsibilities at QB (a
position that he's played all his life), IF for some reason he has trouble with this
sequence, what can we attribute the cause or source of the problem of his
shortcomings ?
