Rocky Landing Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Personally, I suspect that Thad Lewis is as safe in his #2 spot on the roster as EJ is in his #1. (Although, I know at least a few posters will argue that.) So, who will (or should) be our #3? Jeff Tuel, or Dennis Dixon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's in My Blood Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Tuel. Develop him some more. Dixon is not a long term...ugh..anything really. Edited June 27, 2014 by It's in My Blood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Dixon. Tuel will be the practice squad guy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KollegeStudnet Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Dixon. As much as I like Tuel. Dixon has more expierence and is a little more dangerous with the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I think Dixon has little to add, so I'd go with Tuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Thad. I hope tuel wins the backup job. Highest upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Thad. I hope tuel wins the backup job. Highest upside. You really love Tuel, huh? I hope that Tuel is the #3 guy. He showed signs last year & moved the ball against a good defense. I still like Thad; he can do more. He's a gamer and what I want in a backup. He actually reminds me A LOT of Fitz. If he has to play for 3-4 games I don't think that you are doomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Landing Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Dixon. As much as I like Tuel. Dixon has more expierence and is a little more dangerous with the ball Dixon seems like a bit of an enigma to me. He has gotten very little press. I've never seen him play. The four games he has played in for the Steelers, his numbers were not bad. But, if you look at the path his career has taken, one might wonder if he might not be a decent QB who just never got his chance? So far, he has been signed with the Steelers for four seasons, the Ravens for one (both teams that are completely settled at QB), and last season, he was briefly with Philly in the preseason, who went with Vick, Foles, and Barkley. Of course, at 29, he's hardly "project" material. But, unlike others on these boards, I have not been at all impressed with Tuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Dixon, I have seen enough of Jeff Tuel to know that he stinks and at best is a training camp practice squad QB type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uticaclub Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Tuel looked straight awful in the action he saw last year, no way Dixon could be worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemp2Warlick Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Tuel gets points for being a rookie last year.....If you're going to project EJ being better because it will be his 2nd year....the same should apply to Tuel. Hasn't Dixon been around a few more years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's too much wishful thinking that we found the next Brady.... I guess what I like about tuel is his presence in the pocket. Probably why I am not as high on Thad is for the same reason. That said, I think both guys will improve a lot this year given all their playing time last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Tuel looked straight awful in the action he saw last year, no way Dixon could be worse He went 20-28 for over 200 yards in his first start against the number one defense. Cut the kid a break Really, who cares? If either sees the field we are in big trouble. Also a good point BTW congrats on the Marriage Buddy!

Luka Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Dixon. Tuel will be the practice squad guy again. And Tuel was on the practice squad never... Tuel has a legitimate shot at #2 so I am going to say Thad is #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Vince Young > Dennis Dixon > Jeff Tuel But, what do I know? I am an idiot. So you're saying your and idiot? Personally I think Tuel gets the #3 job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 my choice is for EJ to never get hurt so we don't have to dress 3 QB's so it won't matter who is #3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
