CJ Anderson says Panthers didn’t do anything wrong

I feel like Marty is more of a players GM... he handles the cuts pretty well in terms of how he delivers it to the player.  He is straight up but warm and fuzzy.  Its the contract extensions and knowing when to cut a player that he really has a hard time with.  I imagine it's a very hard thing to do after watching a player develop, grow in the system and later cut them for whatever reason.  But it's part of the job. 

Gettleman was just the opposite... but he also came off as having being a bit drunk on power so to speak.  And I think that his ego got int he way when making some crucial decisions. See Josh Norman.  

Either way... it's gotta be hard as fugg to compartmentalize all that stuff as an NFL GM.  Nothing is really as black and white as we fans want to see it.  That scene in Money Ball when Billy says he doesnt travel with the team cause he doesnt want to get close to players... yeah, that has gotta be hard.

So I am not surprised the Panthers let CJ go in a respectable fashion.  The decision is a highly debatable... but they def didnt do it in a cold blooded fashion.

At the time I said it’s for the greater good - to knock out the Saints.   So it was.  

His stats in the games he did play were not amazing, maybe he was just not a good fit that is all there is to it. I give props on signing him and trying him out we can call it a failed experiment. 

Anderson wasn't the one who failed.

This is part of the problem, especially because Rivera is the same way.

When you have both a coach and a GM who aren't good at making the tough decisions that are necessary to build a winning roster, there are gonna be issues.

    • Wide Receiver: Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers – 85.3 One of the more shocking developments of the 2025 NFL season has been the Carolina Panthers’ ascension to the top of the NFC South, which they achieved with Sunday’s win over the Buccaneers. Perhaps nobody has made a bigger difference than former eighth overall pick Tetairoa McMillan, who continued to be a steady presence in the Panthers’ offense. McMillan caught six passes for 73 yards and a touchdown in the win Tight End: Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers – 91.1 Evans only saw the field for 16 snaps, but he was efficient in his limited playing time. He caught all three of his targets for 23 yards on just six receiving snaps while also grading well in pass protection (72.2 grade) and as a run-blocker (68.4) Edge Defender: Nic Scourton, Carolina Panthers – 77.9 The former second-rounder out of Texas A&M has been a force along the Panthers’ defensive line, and he was a key contributor in Carolina’s huge win over the Buccaneers. Scourton recorded two stops as a run-defender and added another while in coverage. Scourton also tallied his sixth sack of the year while contributing another pressure to the mix Safety: Lathan Ransom, Carolina Panthers – 75.7 Another Carolina Panther on this week’s list, Ransom has typically been stronger in run defense — he carries an 85.2 grade in that field on the season. But Sunday against the Buccaneers was his best day in coverage. Ransom intercepted his only target, which wound up being the game-winner that put the Panthers in the driver’s seat in the NFC South
