Dale Lolley has Dixon as the favorite to start next season
"Don't read too much into Byron Leftwich getting most of the snaps with the first-team offense.
That's a move that was made to get him acclimated as soon as possible for an upcoming training camp battle with Dennis Dixon to see who replaces Ben Roethlisberger the first month of the season.
[ ... ]
I think eventually the team will settle on Dixon. It's a lot easier to start him and replace him with Leftwich if Dixon falters than it is the other way around."
