“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...

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
