After the first game (i think), i made a thread predicting that dickson's best football days were behind him and he would have a bad season. Then the entire board condemned my arse. 20 rec for 150 yards. It's ashame because i used to think this guy had the best hands on the team. He's definitely a good TE. So why the hell was such a talent excluded from the offensive scheme. A good TE can really help a struggling quarterback.

If you predicted it, shouldn't you know the answer to your own question?

Do you just make predictions with no logical reasons?

He was not excluded from the offense any more than anyone else. When you average only about 50 plays per game, no one gets as many touches as they should.

We had the double whammy this season...an offense that could not execute and get any 1st downs, and a defense that couldn't stop 3rd down plays.

Dickson did drop several passes on the season for whatever reason, and that also contributed to is bad numbers. Having a QB that could not go thru progressions also didn't help because the TE is seldom the primary receiver.

See RS as well... this team had to overcome a bad OL and ridiculously bad game planning by the coaching staff. That makes it tough.

i think if dickson and d. peterson would've been used more it could have helped alot, but les miles once again has no clue.
all u have to do is watch the games, the way we're coached, and it's easy to see the person running this team is greatly underachieving and is not qualified to coach a team of this caliber!

He was injured for part of the season.

We had no other blocking TE's.

If we're going to throw to the TE, we need one that can create the most separation, and Deangelo Peterson has more speed to do this.

TE routes are closer to the middle of the field, a place we avoid like the plague.

Dickson's best chance to be utilized would have been as a moving target in the seams, but our passing game does not include a QB capable of hitting moving targets consistently in the seams.

I'm curious. Why did you post that? What was your reasoning?

Are you really asking why a TE didn't thrive in an offense that was ranked #107?

Newsflash: The entire offense was terrible.

What happened to Mitch Joseph as a blocking tight end? What happened to Tyler Edwards? Our whole offensive approach is puzzling at best.
