Anderson wasn't good enough for Carolina

I disagree.

Sensitivity and empathy are a big part of how they do things in Pittsburgh and New England.

Right? 

See post above.

It's not a "guiding" principle. 

Teams let vets, particularly those who are basically on a one-year rental---those who aren't necessarily being used---go on their way to find greener pastures every once in awhile. This isn't a new precedent.

Smart teams let vets go because they're no longer good enough to help them win games.

Dumb teams let good depth walk because they're "unhappy".

Allowing a productive player to walk because he wanted “greener pastures” (and because your staff refuses to give him more than 3 touches per week) says a lot.

[top dawg]

People trying to act like Anderson was needed and would've made all the difference between us making the postseason obviously just want to argue about something. 

C-Mac > Anderson, it's as simple as that. Anderson really shouldn't have ever been signed.

I’m not saying anything about CMC.  

I am saying the entire CJ Anderson experience made the front office and coaching staff look foolish.

The team wasn’t “better” for only having one RB (who spent considerable time in the slot.)

You view things too simplistically for us to have a rational discussion. That's just what it is, so say what you want. I'm not discussing this with you.

I don’t think releasing CJ Anderson (after refusing to have him contribute at all) made them a better team.

It certainly helped CMC get to 1000, if that sort of thing means much to you.

We need find someone who looks like McVay or talks like McVay or at least stood next to McVay in a bathroom.

Greg Olsen is pretty good. Let's cut Ian Thomas.

Kawann Short is a solid defensive tackle. No need to keep Kyle Love.

Curtis Samuel is playing very well at receiver. We don't really need both him and Jarius Wright.

(Examples of similar logic)

if I were trying to defend the things you were, I wouldn't discuss it with me either.

Watching the game last night all I keep repeating to myself last night is "this team is incompetent"

 

We couldn't find a use for that guy??

You need more than one good running back. That's common knowledge.

I thought Anderson was unhappy with his role. It wasn't keeping 2 good happy players it was keeping one happy player and one disgruntled one. In our scheme he was redundant with CMC and Norv let him go when it was clear he didn't fit what we wanted to do.  Blame the system or blame Norv. But this is hardly unique for a player to be more productive in one system than another. And it isn't as if CMC got hurt or needed much backup. Seems just another way disgruntled huddlers are looking for a reason to rip the team.

I’m glad CJ is killing it just like the next person. 

But is Oakland an idiot too for not figuring him out too, or is LAs offensive line just that good 

Gruden wants a total rebuilt according to his design, hence letting good players go....Panthers just chase their tail going in circles
