First, don't try to tell me you just wanted discussion. You wanted for people to respond so you could try to prove your already stated opinion that Dixon isn't that great. It's fine that you have that opinion, but why you feel the need to post it on a Mississippi State message board after his career is over is beyond me.
And I guess I should have worded my post differently. It may or may not hinder his stock; if I were evaluating talent for the draft, it wouldn't. But you seem to be using this as some type of ammunition in your argument that people don't think Dixon will be a great NFL back by saying that McKnight is now yet another back listed ahead of him. That, I totally disagree with, and I think he will be better in the NFL than McKnight. See Reggie Bush.
