Derek Anderson the diamond in the rough

Stewart fumbles!

 

KB drops another pass!

 

Kuechly shook badly one-on-one with RB!

 

Olsen false start!

 

Gano missed field goal!

 

 

Derek Anderson was solid today. His completion % would've been much higher without numerous drops and guys not looking for the ball. He was even a threat on the ground. Two 100 yard receivers, a definitive game for Olsen's pro bowl bid, targeting multiple receivers including hitting Cotchery for an important TD, making plays to Philly Brown as well.

 

DA read the field well, made passes and didn't take too many bad risks (though there were a couple like the one over the middle to Olsen in triple coverage).

 

DA 2-0 record and 5TD-0INT.

derek anderson is not a diamond in the rough. he's cut and polished, sitting in the mid-priced section at zales. you wouldn't use him to propose, but you'd get him for your wife when she's mad at you because you forgot her 35th birthday.

 

 

You might if you were proposing because she was pregnant and you had to borrow money from your parents just to afford a decent ring a dinner at Applebees.  :)

    • Ridley Grieg was handed a 2-game suspension for his sucker punch on Sean Walker during the Ottawa series. First 2 regular season games for the 2026-2027 schedule.
    • Number 9  Carolina Panthers  Bryce Young, the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, produced career highs in completion percentage (63.6%), passing yards per game (188.2) and passing touchdowns (23) in 2025. However, those numbers aren't exactly stellar by NFL quarterbacking standards. Even though the Panthers backdoored their way into the postseason in 2025 as NFC South champions with an 8-9 record, Young's performance was up-and-down. He threw for the third-fewest passing yards by a quarterback to make the playoffs in the last 20 seasons, per CBS Sports Research.  FEWEST PASSING YARDS BY QB TO REACH PLAYOFFS, LAST 20 SEASONS (MIN. 16 STARTS) PASSING YARDS PLAYOFF WINS 2012 Christian Ponder (MIN) 2,935 0 2008 Joe Flacco (BAL) 2,971 2 2025 Bryce Young (CAR) 3,011 0 2006 Steve McNair (BAL) 3,050 0 2019 Josh Allen (BUF) 3,089 0 Young did deliver some high highs, like when he threw for a franchise-record 448 yards passing in a Week 11 overtime win at the Atlanta Falcons and when he went toe-to-toe with Stafford in the playoffs in a 34-31 defeat.  Kenny Pickett couldn't win the Cleveland Browns' quarterback competition a year ago, and Will Grier is a career backup. This is Young's team.
