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.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
