Derek Anderson the diamond in the rough

Pure passer. You guys do know that Anderson has a 53.7 career completion percentage right?

Doesn't count. You can only use Anderson's games from this year & you can only compare them to Cam's worst games this year while insisting that numbers don't lie... Also, it is unfair to compare career stats, those numbers do lie unless they can be manipulated to show Anderson is => Newton...

I don't "dodge", LOL, I have lots more to do than to log onto the Panthers Forum everyday, Jack.

Business. Kids. Wife. Maybe you get the picture.

Like waiting in his man cave itching for the opportunity to call out something Cam Newton does wrong. He spends all of his time telling his imaginary kids Billy Bob and Eunice to hush because he's raking the Internet for a stat that supports his supremist cause.

But that may be me viewing TonyN as an old white male living under a bridge (or an old Lighthouse) telling his mother that the traditions of his forefathers will live on. I could be wrong.

I felt comfortable with DA coming in to get the job done and he didn't let me down.

Of course I'd rather see a healthy Cam on the field but DA has been a great game manager that puts his team in good position to come out with a victory.

I'm good with either of the QBs we have and am not going to gloat saying "I told you DA should've been utilized more when Cam was ailing," but I wouldn't be surprised if we had a couple more wins in the column if Cam was rested a little more when he had some obvious health issues keeping him from being on point.

    • 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
