CJ Anderson - should he be used more?

Against the Giants, CJ Anderson saw a grand total of 8 snaps, good for 11% of the total snaps. In a game that the Panthers lead most of the way, why wouldn't the teams "power back" not see more touches? It's been strange why CJ hasn't seen the field more. Granted he had a few bad plays against Atlanta, but otherwise he's done nothing but move the chains when he's been given the chance. Are they saving him for the stretch run at the end of the season?

He needs to be used more to keep defense's guessing.  They are going to start keying on him like they did Stewart last year anytime he was in and CMC was out, they knew we were running it and stacked the box every time.

I mean more frequently.  He should be on the field for 30 snaps a game.

Agree. But it’s tough when we’re trying to get 3 WRs on the field, and Armah some, and with Olsen returning more 2 TE sets. Torrey needs to be inactive. No reason to carry 6 WRs on game day.

This last sunday, I thought so.  CMC was part struggling to run, and the giants were also selling out to stop him.  I think bringing in CJ would have changed the priorities of the Giants defense (they wouldn't have keyed on him like they did on CMC) AND would have given a different look at RB.  If CMC is rocking and rolling like he was against the Bengals, no, if he's struggling to find room and the other team has keyed on him, sure why not because I trust CJ enough to get the job done.

While I agree with you, Norv's history is to stick with one guy for 80% or more of the work. Of course, it helps when that one guy is an Emmitt, LT or AD.

I would like to see him get more touches, and I'll also like to see CMC get more passes.  In the first two games CMC got a lot of passes, but lately there seems to be a concerted effort in not getting him the ball through the air.  They have to find a balance.

      Malik Willis anyone

      By countryboi · Posted

      One thing I didn’t consider is how thin this draft is at quarterback. That’s going to drive up the market for backups and borderline starters like Willis, Jones, and Jameis Winston. Because of that, we’ll most likely be priced out of the market for this tier of backup.

      We've already beat the #1 seed twice, why not one more? (Packers and Rams were both #1 seed at the time we played)

      My determination has come down to this. Based on recent QB history, has Bryce's improvement warranted 50m per season? Lamar is the only original team QB to play on his 5th year. The others took major deals at the end of the 3rd, before or just after the option was signed. Chances are, we're getting asked for the same.  I haven't rooted for Bryce to fail. I've rooted for him to succeed so big that them signing that extension would give me no worries about our future at QB at all. We haven't seen that level of play consistently that this year. We haven't seen it in the past 6 games.  We're about to be at a threshold with Bryce and I worry about what this front office will do. We have a history of bad decision making and Morgan has been part of that group making those decisions. I don't want Carolina in the same boat Arizona and Miami are right now. It has nothing to with being right. It has to do with wanting to win for more than a single season. We've never had back to back winning seasons. Faith in their abilities is not warranted at this point.
