I don't know whether he'll pan out, but on Valentine's Day, the Eagles officially signed Dennis Dixon. I can recall in 2007 thinking that Dennis Dixon was the real deal, right up until he tore his ACL. That game actually reminds me of what happened to RG-III in the playoff game against Seattle, when he collapsed in the back field without anyone tackling him. In retrospect, I think the fans were in more pain than Dixon was.
I don't think there's a question of whether or not CK's offense will work with Dixon at the helm; I think the issue is whether or not the Eagles owner will let CK run the hurry-up offense. If the option-read couldn't work immediately in the NFL, someone forgot to tell John Harbaugh.
Looking forward to next season already! I can't wait to see how the league adjusts to having so many option-read quarterbacks; with all of them in the NFC (Russell Wilson, RG-III, Colin Kaepernick, Dennis Dixon), it'll be one crazy conference!
BTW, anyone else curious as to whether or not Tim Tebow can make it in the NFL? Having watched Wilson, RG-III, Kaepernick and Dixon play, Tebow has a chance with his feet, but not his arm. Those other guys can throw tight, accurate spirals, whereas Tebow has wavered between sidearm delivery (that gets knocked down) and wobbly overhead throws that fall yards short of their target. Worst possible place he could have gone, was to the NYJ with Tony Sparano there...that was a clusterbomb with Tebow reverting back to sidearm throws.
