I wont dog a guy who gets cut from the Raiders when they already cut Kalil Mack and Amari Cooper. Practically no one is safe in whatever regime that Gruden is building there. 

No, the Raiders traded Mack and Cooper. For three 1st round picks, at that. They cut Anderson for free.

So does this mean that all of the people who were saying how stupid the Panthers were for not playing him and then releasing him dont know quite as much as they think they do?

Not when you look at who's coaching the Raiders.

Anderson is legitimately good. He showed it with the Broncos and even when he was with us. He was always considered one of the hardest working guys on the Broncos roster as well.

Only thing I can figure is maybe his attitude did go south here. That's still kind of hard for me to buy though.

More and more there are folks around here making statements about what goes on in the meeting rooms and locker rooms like they have inside knowledge.  Since the season started folks have been excoriating the coaching staff for not using CJ when they have no real knowledge of CJ's habits or attitude.

I dont know whether or not Anderson got a fair shake here but Im disinclined to jump to the conclusion that CJ was a victim in all of this and didnt contribute to his fate.  His release from a second team would suggest that he has some ownership in his lack of success here.

Brincos release was a cap/youth move from what I was able to dig up..

Anderson was the guy who was wearing sweatpants under his uniform just for additional conditioning back in training camp. That's the kind of guy he'd been since he came into the league.

I have a tougher time buying that a guy who's been high character since he was a rookie suddenly became an attitude problem.

Maybe we cut him because what we said was true...that CMC was so much a part of our offense that we need him on the field every play.

And maybe CJ just happened to be caught in a transition in our offense from the old "pound it" and the new Norv "move it".

 

But I don't get this...surely his attitude couldn't have got him cut so fast  in his second chance this year...could it?  If not, why did they sign him?

maybe he's just not as good as so many in here thought he was?

maybe he's just too odd of a cookie.

maybe both.

From what I've seen of him, he's a good guy. I've never heard anything bad about him. He may not be great, but he's certainly good enough to be on a squad right now. I really don't think that that can be genuinely questioned considering who else is rostered at the moment (e.g., Zach Zenner, Ronald Jones, etc.)

Followed CJ on twitter when he came to play with us and he never seemed that into it. Most guys when they come to the Panthers will get on Twitter and talk about how they were so happy to be here and/or throw in a #KeepPounding. Never did see CJ do that, he was always just on about his twitch stream, businesses, or getting real real salty with fans. 

 

Maybe he was just the perfect player at the perfect time and system in Denver, and that lightning in a bottle is gone. Who knows?

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.

      I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.

      Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
