Anderson against Tampa and Cleveland

[DaveThePanther2008]

I am actually all for Derek Anderson finishing out the regular season but I would love to see him get a chance to beat the team that gave him the bum rush. I always thought they did him some injustice. DA is a true pro and should start against Cleveland with Cam as backup.

I think he will prepare well for Cleveland but I just think he would have a little more motitivation to put the final nail in Cleveland's playoff hopes

If we are in position to win the division then we let Cam go into his hometown and Run Atlanta out of the playoffs.

I am super happy we don't have a Drew Stanton screwing things up for us.

if Cam can play against Cleveland, I want his a** in there, not DA.  No disrespect to DA, but the offense can do more with Cam.  If we lose on sunday, I don't care who plays qb for the rest of the year, but you cant jeopardize OUR playoff hopes just so DA can beat his old team.  Also, how many members of the regime that were there when DA was let go are still there?

[Dexterity]

I want DA to play if Cam is not ready. Whenever Cam is healthy I want DA's ass sitting on the bench.

Period.

[Cary Kollins]

yea if Cam can go DA is holding the clipboard

[DaveThePanther2008]

I should have also said the extra week would give Cam more rest. I thnk DA is capable enough to carry this team for two weeks

I AM NOT IMPLYING DA is a better QB or that he should replace Cam permanently. Seems many might think I feel that way.

[MHS831]

I see Webb somehow playing a role in this game....

[hepcat]

Cam needs to sit until he's healthy.  If he is healthy enough to play against Cleveland, then he should.  One big shot to his back could be devestating if it's not all healed up, and lord knows with that O-Line he's going to take a few.

Somebody said on the radio this morning that it would be a mistake to treat this in the same way that Romo's injury was treated, with him sitting out only a game. Romo is a pocket QB with a good o-line. Cam, even on days like this past Sunday when he is miraculously not sacked, puts himself in harms way much more often. I hope the coaching staff actually takes that into consideration.

Just got tickets to the Browns at Panthers game about a half an hour ago and I'm pretty stoked. First regular season Panthers game at BoA I've been to in 10 years.. The Week 17 Saints at Panthers game where John Kasay's long kick got blocked that would have sent us to the playoffs at like 7-9 or 8-8 or whatever. I'm hoping and praying for a different result this time around in a similar scenario.

Also I'm thinking we're gonna be all black for this game, so I'll get to see that live for the first time too.

Along with what you are saying, just cause he doesn't get sacked doesn't mean he will not get hit to the turf or pancaked.

Is Brandon Williams eligible to play this game? If so, I think he finally gets some targets. DA and BW seemed to have a little rapport this preseason.

[Goondal]

DA or Cam, I think the Cleveland game will be interesting.  If they lose this week then their season is over while somehow we could still be playing for something.  Could be an interesting dynamic.

I want to win all the next games but as long there is any question about Cam's  health,i want us to error on the side of caution. No way do i want to see Cam giving up his body, or taking hard hits, if his back injury is even a remote issue.

I'd agree with this but the only problem would be is if you're making Cam think about what he's doing then you're setting him and us up for failure.  Most of this game is instinct and feel, and if he's thinking too much and not doing what comes naturally, then he actually could end up in a situation where he sets himself up to get more injured.  It's such a cliche thing to say, but honestly you have to see how he is feeling and moving next week before thinking about which way to go.  That said, DA or Cam, I think we can win down the stretch.
