Anderson wasn't good enough for Carolina

[Mr. Scot]

So if cutting players who are unhappy with their role (and verbal about it) is the right thing to do, why is Devin Funchess still here again?

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

Says the supposed wise guy (who is really a wiseguy) who doesn't understand the difference between logic and reason, unspoken rules and decorum, or nuances and distinctions between players of different positions as it pertains to their importance to the team or contractual status as it relates to effectively useless short term satisfaction versus long term viability to the franchise.

If this is true....then he is as inept as Rivera. Even more disheartening.

Exactly.

If all those times we went into a shell and didn't try to score with time on the clock and TO's in our pocket at the end of the 1st half or went into an offensive shell in the 2nd half with a lead were Norv, then Norv is no different than Rivera and that's why Ron decided Norv would be his (*ahem*) "change".

And, as you say, that can in NO WAY be construed as a good thing.

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

 

 

Anderson was not going to stay here. That should be obvious. C-Mac has proven to be able to do what Anderson does and more. Short term, he wasn't really necessary. There was not really that big of a difference between what Anderson could offer versus what Artis-Payne could offer. Long term, there are likely better options than Anderson at a better price.

The only reason why Anderson is being discussed is because of his game last night. It was good for him, but the Panthers weren't going to be playing this weekend with or without him.

The Panthers would have been happy to have kept CJ in a backup role if CJ would have been happy with it. However, he was not and he was very verbal and weird about it. So, they let him seek greener pastures, which he did.

His backup role was riding the pines 90% of the time... that's CAP territory. Gurley is a beast and they found a way to use Anderson as Gurley's back up and a complimentary piece. Don't buy that they couldn't use him in the red zone.

What I understand is that none of that matters as much as winning.

I also understand that hurting your team's depth for unimportant reasons isn't something smart teams do.

Is there anyone in the front office or coaching staff that isn't incompetent? This house needs a cleaning!

Preach it.  Its like we want to drive the wheels off by the time his rookie contract is up.

See: Cameron Jerrell Newton.

Player's on defense get injured and are treated with kid-gloves and handled with care.

Player's on offense are fungible and are used-up until gears and springs are flying through the air through the smoke.

He won't be after this off-season, I suspect.

So, we would be in the playoffs right now, but for the Panthers release of Anderson? And Anderson's 4.5 career average running the ball isn't similar to Artis-Payne's 4.2, and (to top it off), Anderson was going sign a long term contract with us in order to be "misused" by your favorite OC, Norv Turner, because Turner decided to use C-Mac up to his capabilities?

Dude, you and Hammerin'Cam have a lot in common.

We'd be in the playoffs right now if we didn't have coaches and management that did stupid things.

Like I said, the only reason that we're having this discussion right now is because of Anderson's game last night. That's it. This is another tiresome, poo on Hurney and Rivera thread, at all costs, by any means necessary, led by the master hater, Scot.
