Get ready to see Anderson start

@BlackBlueReview: Get ready to see Derek Anderson start for the #Panthers http://t.co/4C15I3MNRd

anthers quarterback Cam Newton remains a game-time decision for Sunday’s season opener, but get prepared to see Derek Anderson start against the Bucs.

Newton raised hopes after going through Friday and Saturday’s walk-through, but the sense inside the team hasn’t changed much from earlier this week. Rushing the franchise’s most-important player back out there is too great of a risk, especially when one hit could set him back another few weeks. Rivera has allowed Newton to do all he can to make it back for Week 1, but ultimately, Riverboat will end up folding this hand.

I havent opened the link so I'm not sure what it says, but if we lose this game it's all on Rivera.

Ron should know after last season how devastating a week 1 loss can be. It isn't a marathon.

I edited with some info from the link.

OL better step their game the hell up today. DA won't be able to bail them out with his legs.

This is what worries me the most. I don't doubt Anderson's ability, but I'm afraid that those slow developing routes will get him killed out there.

    • First, am I wrong? I looked back over all his posts here and I didn't see anything positive other than Shough. Second, pretty sure if you had read the post I was responding to, you would have seen CRA made poo personal as well . You just choose to address me instead of him. Not sure why?????
    • I wanted XL but I felt he should have been a 2nd rounder but I understand the logic trading up just to get the option. A safety net for your gamble.    Certainly disappointed with his receivers development but i like his down field blocking and I imagine that's what's keeping him on the field. 
    • Pretty sure it is a given Young lacks typical QB size and strength and he is here simply because his other attributes more than make up for it. My point is not to indicate anyone "settled" for him but rather to remind people that there have been plenty of big, strong QB's that have not lived up to expectations. Jamis Winston, Anthony Richardson, Trey Lance, JaMarcus Russel are a few examples. They all have the physical attributes coveted by teams and yet none have had sustained success in the NFL. And yes, there are QBs that do have both but there aren't many and some of the ones still playing were failures with their early teams. Saying Young is a bust simply based upon his size (and I do think it is as simple as that for a few guys around here) is unfair to both him and the team.
