RuntheDamnBall Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I don't get the fascination with this guy I think it's the name that evokes a dwarf from the Hobbit. This is the Internet, after all. Consider the audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Cain Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Dickerson seems more Delanie Walker then Vernon Davis. Versatile guy who probably will be a jack of all trades player in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 The fascination is just like it was with Lief Larson, Olaf Pilar, Justin Armour, Gabe Northern and others. A lot of raw talent, a lot of things you cannot coach, speed, size, strength, and fun names. You can coach/develop/produce/improve catching, passing, vision, blocking, etc. There are great athletes on many teams that never are great football players. Ours are Brad Smith, McKelvin, Dickerson.

26TrapDraw Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Gimme Delanie Walker from SF...as long as he's priced right think he's ready to start. Edited February 9, 2013 by LVBillsBackr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumbalaya Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Nix gets a ton of crap for not taking Gronk over Troup, and I get it. But, IIRC Gronk missed his entire pre draft year due to injury. Now it seems he's living up to his pre draft reports - stud when healthy but injured often. So you are defending taking Troupe over Gronk due to Gronks health concerns??? Troupe hasn't played in two years and was mediocre at best his first year. Gronk has been All Pro. Where is your logic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS!! I believe that if Dorin is indeed a willing blocker, he can be Buffalo's version of Delanie Walker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm simply saying that the injury concerns surrounding Gronkowski coming out of college seem to have some teeth. Nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 He's another one that we know little or nothing about ! At the beginning of last year the hype on him was way up there & the use (like that of T Jack) was little to none . They said he was going to be a big part of the offense last year, well if that warrants a big part i hope this regimes definition is much different !! Why bring some one in if you don't use them just to take up space ? We need all the help we can get !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Re-read my post. I'm simply saying that the injury concerns surrounding Gronkowski coming out of college seem to have some teeth. Nothing more. The concerns with his back were severe enough to drop him virtually a whole round in the 2010 draft. And back injuries, especially ones requiring surgery, are a major red flag. Whether his back is an issue in the future remains to be seen, but in the meantime, other injuries have crept-up. The Pats took a chance and were rewarded, at least initially.

He was active for 7 games with Houston in 2010, then 11 for Buffalo last year. You remember hype for a guy who hadn't dressed for a football game in 2 years? What board did you read this hype on?

BADOLBILZ Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Am I mistaken......or is Dorin Dickerson also a free agent this year? What does everyone think about bringing him back? Personally I would like to see him back again. Interesting to see what he could bring if given more of an opportunity. For now as we continue to discuss Levitre and Byrd, I guess he goes in the forgotten man category along with Moats (yes, he is still on the team) Scorin' Dorin has a really bad set of hands. Maybe not Robert Royal bad, but probably too bad to ever make an impact in the NFL. I was hoping to see him make some plays after Chandler got hurt, but then he couldn't catch the ball. He later fell after dropping a very easy, wide open pass and injured himself. Which game was that? Edited February 10, 2013 by BADOLBEELZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No QB - No Bueno Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I prefer Torin Dorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Angel Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Seems to me he dropped a few key balls His drops where like Cj's, meaning most of his drops where when Chan had them lined up wide outside of their comfort zone. When running routes from a position they have playing for their entire football career the efficiency increases. Look at punt returns...just because you have an athletically gifted player you cant just stick him in to return punts, the timing and judgment just isn't there, same goes for lining an interior player out wide.

boyst Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I prefer Torin Dorn. If he was a tile guy he'd be Floorin' Dorin. If he was a in a tooth paste ad he'd be Grin'n Dorin. If he was the leader of Russia he'd be Stalin Dorin. If he was he was a mine worker he'd be Borin Dorin. If he was he was the cure to a bee sting, he'd be Epinephrin Dorin. If he was a a former soldier in the military he'd be veteran Dorin. If he was a 16th Century English Protestant he'd be Puritan Dorin. If he was a gentle of the working night, he'd be whorin' Dorin. If he was from Ecuador, he'd be Foreign Ecuadorian Dorin. If he was he ran a prison, he'd be Warden Dorin. If he was too tired to do on a Saturday night, he would not be spending his time doing this, he'd be snorin Dorin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop cramping Captain Hinsight's style. If Troup doesn't develop a back injury AFTER being drafted who knows what we're saying about him. And if Gronk was drafted instead & spent the last 3 years on IR you guys would be cussing Buddy for drafting a guy w/ a history of health problems.
