“We had a young guy in Pittsburgh who had all the talent in the world, but he could not call a play and he could not go to the line and use a snap count. It destroyed all of his confidence."

Agreed - while Arians was there from 2004 -2011 the backup QBs were Maddox, St. Pierre, Batch, Dixon and Leftwich - doubtful he is talking about St. Pierre

OTOH Dixon was signed to the Cardinals practice squad in 2014 - if he was such a chump why would BA bring him back?

Those comments from Arians are the type of gratuitous gossip he peddles to keep getting quoted - what a great guy

yeah, Arians and Ben were way too close for him to be talking shit about his golden boy. Even after he left.

Dixon placed quite high in the Heisman voting his final season in college and some of his scouting reports seem to line up to some degree with what Arians said. Sounds like a media pundit just trying to stir up controversy
