Panthers WAIVE CJ Anderson

[Mr. Scot]

Unless there actually is some crazy off-the-field reason, I wouldn't expect for him to be unemployed all that long. There are definitely some teams out there who could use a runningback or runningback depth.

Ironically enough, we're now one of the latter.

[Still Brooklyn]

I know he rarely played, but I've thought since the start of the season that CMC's little body won't be able to take it game after game. Kid is a stud, but we may actually ruin him. Come Playoffs time he might be burnt out. Bring someone in and actually use them please.

Stupid move

[Anybodyhome]

In a pass-happy league, a 1000-yard rusher is a true commodity.

Karma will be CMC getting dinged.

Remember 2005 when Foster and Stephen Davis both went down and the Panthers were left with Nick Goings as the starting, and just about only RB on the roster?

So you think Hurney just decided to release him out of the blue?

To be fair, I honestly can't think of a good reason to do this.

after the whole signing jake delhomme to a massive contract after his infamous arizona choke game you still ask this question?

I can’t either. But saying the GM is an idiot because of this isn’t being fair. He didn’t just act alone here.

All I know is if Tepper cleans house, Marty better be gone ...

But I have this bad feeling that Rivera has entered Marvin Lewis territory. He''ll get us winning seasons and playoff wins here and there ... and nothing drastic will happen that will cause him to get canned

Yes. Because I understand that’s not how things work.

Watch him sign with the Pats or some poo 

 

Id say it is a safe bet he will sign with some team this year.

[Mr. Scot]

The official reason being given basically boils down to "with McCaffrey, we just didn't need him".

So...We don't need depth at an important spot?

 I would have to believe that CJ forced it. Not sure I blame him if he did whatever it took to get out of here. He could have played a little more but it still wasn’t going to be much. Or enough to show something and get a bigger contract. 

  Still was a smart signing by Hurney. Don’t blame him one bit. He was a steal at that price and our situation. 

  Just didn’t work like everyone thought it would. It’s not like CAP can’t handle 3-5 touches per game. 

[Fright]

Biggest case of River dog house I think ever. Extreme case.

Panthers release CJ Anderson

When we signed C.J. in the spring he saw a bigger role than he has had, and honestly, at the time so did we,” Panthers General Manager Marty Hurney said. “But Christian McCaffrey has taken so much of the offense and so much of the plays, we just made the decision that this was the best thing for all parties involved.”
