Question

Do you think that Dennis Dixon can play receiver instead of QB for the pittsburgh steelers?

Answer 1

Well he rushed good but remember he wasnt blazing fast like ted ginn or anything

I think he would do better as a running back

because the way he avoided tackles and ran to the outside made it look like it was meant for him

Answer 2

Possibly, but I doubt it.

Answer 3

Let him play CB he could also bulk up and play ummm yeah QB or CB.

Answer 4

they should move him to receiver and use him like they used Antwan Randle El, by giving him trick plays were he throws the football on fakes

to wide open receivers

Answer 5

i highly doubt it, he has the skill but i think his body can take it. he's not really that bulky enough to withstands big hits. also he is coming off of an ACL injury, so like his explosion is not as it use to be. don't get me wrong, hes had speed, hes a beast out of the pocket, but i don't think he's WR quality

Answer 6

He will see some action this year in a "slash" role, but he will not not see full time action at WR.  They have depth at WR with Hines, Holmes, Sweed, Washington and Heath Miller at TE.

Answer 7

I have been saying this for a while and I think it is worth a shot.  Having another receiver that can throw the ball effectively will open up a lot of possibilities in the playbook.  He wouldn't be the first QB to make the transition.  If he is as athletic as I think he is, it wouldn't take too much time for him to learn the position.

Answer 8

yes he can, but I don't see him being a major threat because he isn't strong enough to take alot of big hits in the open field, or strong enough to break linebackers off. his speed will help him in long yardage situations though. the key is as I said.... staying healthy.
