Joe Webb Cut - Derek Anderson kept

[KB_fan]

Found it after all.  It was Person who wrote about the Webb cut being unpopular in the locker room.  Not a surprise at all...

1. They’ll roll the dice at quarterback.

The Panthers clearly think Cam Newton’s surgically repaired shoulder is healthy because they’ll open the season with just two quarterbacks for the first time since 2013. Joe Webb, the third QB/emergency WR/special teams ace, was the odd man out when the team decided initially to keep six receivers before Clay was dealt.

Webb was well liked by teammates and coaches, and this was a deal that didn’t go over well in the locker room. The Panthers also waived No. 4 QB Garrett Gilbert, and will start the season with Newton and longtime backup Derek Anderson as their only quarterbacks.

This is kind of a jaw dropper for me. I figured DA would get to ride out this season, but I really expected us to keep Webb. He seemed to be playing pretty well out there and had a lot of upsides.

The only thing I can imagine is that we really needed the roster spot and he was getting a might expensive for a QB3. I wouldn't be surprised to see him turn up in Buffalo as the backup QB, which may have been in the wings before this shook out.

 

Looks like I was right.
