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

    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
    • Then please take a vacation from the team.
    • In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
