.Dawkins is such a poor reflection on our coaching staff. Ok, I know he has a big contract and would be hard to move on from but it is ridiculous to have this guy show up every year more out of shape.

He shows no leadership skills and comes across as a fat clown.

He holds a premier position and has turned into, at best an average left tackle.

I really am disappointed that something can’t be done about this. Maybe behind the scenes McD is all over him but I doubt it.

I really feel that his attitude and conditioning has negatively affected the entire team.

People don’t want to hear it. The people love the Shnoman.

 

Some reasonable posters think he should be Shnowhere near this team.

Have you seen any pics of him this year, or are your tv and computer like one of those mirrors that make you look skinny?

Yes he's heavy.  Like most every other tackle in football.  Again is that overeating or perhaps still a Covid effect?  My $ if I had to pick would be on the latter.

This might be the most comical post of the entire year. You win. Nobody else try

Its pretty easy to diaganose guys in full uniform on TV.  Also is is super easy to keep this diagnosis secret from the GM, so that he can't plan around it.  Hope this clears things up for you.

Ugh this is such a tough one because he's such a great guy off the field and a pillar in the community but yeah his play is just so disappointing at times.  I was really hoping he would come into this season as motivated as ever but so far looking like the same Dion that has struggled heavily the past two seasons :(

Play on the field is all that matters. Nothing else should be taken into consideration when talking about his future on the team.

Our offensive line is in rough shape for the future.

 

LT - Dawkins is turning 30 this upcoming year and looks like he doesn't have many seasons left.

C  - Is a walking concussion and I'm honestly shocked he is even still playing

RT - Just horrendous.

Leadership and attitude are ok actually great.  His weight seems like an issue to some outside but the bills have no made that a thing. Publicly.

Proove he's overeating.  On the other hand, it can affect stamina which can affect workouts and such.

I mean I don’t know what to say. This should never happen for professional athletes. Can’t be eating chicken wings in major competition. I don’t care who you are. He’s a clown show more interested in social media

based on what?

Well I could tell you about pro bowls and PFF grades.  I could tell you about him being a captain on the team but all 3 of those things are subjective.

 

For me, I've never said the guy is Tyron Smith.  He isn't.  He isn't a lockdown LT because he isn't as athletic as guys like Smith, Stanley, or Trent Williams.  But to say he's replacement level, given his track record in the league, id say that's wrong.
