Will Derek Anderson be a Panther next year?

Anderson still has one year on a two year contract.  But he played extremely well in relief of Cam Newton in two starts and mercy play when the Panthers were getting blown out in a few games.  Could a team offer a high draft pick for him?  There will be a good number of teams in the market for a stopgap starting veteran QB.  Anderson, a former Pro Bowl selection, could be at the top of the list.  Much like Josh McCown last season, Anderson could find himself starting again.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing out there. Our 3rd string QB/receiver running down Hester.

 

 

I wasn't that surprised, although I thought it was a great play.  But Webb is probably not the typical third string qb.  He ran a 4.43 forty and is a few years younger than Hester.  Given that he is a few years younger than Hester, he is probably a little bit faster at this point in their careers.

McCown also helped show why you leave those guys as backups. I think McCown plays against Anderson's of the world that are looking for more.

I actually think if DA left for a one year bridge job it would shorten his career.

If Cam is here long term? DA actually could hang around another 4 years or so realistically

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
