"Several teams" interested in Derek Anderson

... including the Panthers.

Derek Anderson has potential options outside the Panthers

Several teams have expressed interest in the 34-year-old Anderson, according to a league source. The Panthers also remain an option, as coach Ron Rivera expressed at the NFL combine.

But Carolina hasn’t made a move yet, and may be willing to let the quarterback market play out a bit before making a decision.

Rivera also said at the combine it’s time to start developing a future replacement for Newton, who turns 29 in May. He mentioned drafting a quarterback, something the Panthers haven’t done since selecting Newton with the first pick in 2011.

But what if Teddy Bridgewater, who along with Keenum and Bradford is one of three Minnesota free-agent quarterbacks, doesn’t get offered a starting job? At 25, he’s still young enough to develop for the future if the Panthers are interested and can afford him.

Bridgewater worked with new Carolina offensive coordinator Norv Turner and quarterbacks coach Scott Turner with the Vikings in 2014-15, when he started 28 games before his career was derailed by a severe ACL tear during the 2016 preseason.

In 2015, Turner said Bridgewater should be considered one of the top five quarterbacks in the league.

The Panthers also may have other young free-agent quarterbacks they want to consider to develop behind Newton, although the market is thin. So, they can afford to be patient considering most, if not all, of the interest from other teams in Anderson is as a veteran backup.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      This is one of my key concerns lost in the sauce that is the neverending conversation about him evading pressure and the OL. Eventually any QB is going to have to step up into the pocket and show the defense they can still beat them even if they get through. We have a limited QB who cannot consistently do this and as such we are relegated to going back and forth about how successful he was at evading pressure but we have little else to write home about. Tyler Shough stepped up into the pocket and made plays despite being pressured and sacked. He's played in about 35 less games than Bryce Young. That is a problem. And isn't just going to go away. The Bucs are going to do the same thing after watching the film.

      Oh, absolutely! That doesn't absolve the absolute dogshit hockey that the team played in front of him, though. Only Cane that played well tonight was Bradly Nadeau.

      Thanks for illustrating my point.  No one in the last several pages of this discussion is suggesting we should hang on to him, but anytime someone says anything less than "take him out back and shoot him" you act like they are. That's either you not understanding what you're reading or just being a nimrod because you can't keep up. (I would have said 'or just sh-tposting' but you're way too emotional on this topic for that) Either way, the result is the same 😆
