“It’s the best locker room I’ve ever been in," Anderson said. “It’s the best group of guys I’ve ever been around as far as coming in day in and day out and working. We’ve got a lot of really young guys that enjoy working. That’s not always the case."

That’s why Anderson turned down overtures from other teams that showed interest over the past few seasons.

“I was on so many bad teams and then some frustrating situations," he said. “Why would I put myself in a situation where I could be in a [bad] situation when I can be in a situation with these guys, a good team, a great staff?

Derek Anderson is one of the best QBs the Panthers have ever had on the team and he is our back-up.

Life is good right now for the Carolina Panthers.

That says a lot more about our QB history (or lack thereof) than it does about Derek. Jake in his prime was a borderline top 10 QB. Cam is a stud. Other than that... oh wee mayne.

Teams that wish they had Derek Anderson

1. The Super Bowl Winners

2. Bears

3. Niners

4. Cowboys

5. Eagles

6. Rams

7. Texans

8. Falcons

9. Titans

10. Bungals

Seriously? 

The Broncos just traded up to take a QB in the 1st round. The Rams and Eagles just took QBs #1 and #2 overall. At most DA would be a stopgap on a short leash in those places. 

The Texans just gave Osweiler a ton of money. He's their guy at this point. 

The Cowboys have Romo. Despite the jokes, the guy is damn good. They have Foles backing him up who has better production as a starter than DA and is several years younger.

Matt Ryan is a good QB. I know we all like to joke him, but he's an above average starting QB and no one would take DA over Ryan as their starter. 

The Titans have Mariotta who they took #2 overall and has shown good promise. 

The Bengals have Andy Dalton who is a top 10 starting NFL QB. 

Of all the teams you listed, the Niners would be the only shot DA would have to go in and win the job outright and not constantly be looking over his shoulder, but then again with Chip Kelly who knows. 

DA is an above average backup QB. Nothing more, nothing less. We barely squeak by the worst team in the league twice in 2014-2015 with him starting and half of our fans act like hes a top 10 NFL QB. 

 

I guess even when you have the reigning NFL MVP at QB, the backup QB is still the most beloved player on the roster...
