Derek Anderson the diamond in the rough

Buh buh as a pure passer!

If all 32 teams in the league had newton and Anderson on their rosters we all know who the starter would be.

 

Anderson might be playing himself into one more shot as a starting  QB if he wants it...

 

Newton currently ranks among the worst Qb's in the league. Make all the excuses you want, but there it is...

Don't forget, Cam put up 10 of 28 for 151 yards 0 TD's 1 Int. against the worst defense in the league earlier this season.

Anderson's numbers today would be in line with Cam's best performances of the year...

Of course, "any other QB" would get "killed behind our offensive line"....

Except Not.

And Cam's game @ NO would be a career game for Anderson.

I will say ot once ill say it again, as far as pure passing goes, there is no difference between him and Cam. Call me names all you want but im not blind and numbers dont lie, right now DA and Cam are pretty much equal as far as passing goes.

Not saying either one of them is bad or good, simply stating one isnt really better than the other.

Numbers over a career says differently. . But screw numbers right..

Newton will be starting over Anderson as soon as he's cleared because he's the better QB.

Anderson is Newton's back up & is one of the best back ups around. Whine all you want but there it is...

Pure passer. . . you guys do know that Anderson has a 53.7 career completion percentage, right? Including a horrendous 44.7 completion percentage on 182 attempts in 2009.

 

I'm not going to sit I say that I'm not impressed by the guy this year. However, I'm 90% sure that if Anderson was to become the guy somewhere else, his numbers would go back down. Back-up is where he should stay.

 

McCown is the exact same case and we've seen what happened to him.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
