Article: Panthers QBs Cam Newton, Sam Darnold appear to be thrown under bus by Robby Anderson

The Carolina Panthers’ once-promising season fell apart as the year progressed. They began the campaign 3-0 and had hopes of a postseason berth. Following their deflating 41-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, the Panthers finished the season at 5-12. They lost 12 of their last 14 games.

A lot of that can be credited to the poor quarterback play from the Panthers. The team mostly used a combination of Sam Darnold and Cam Newton under center this year.

While speaking to the press after the loss to the Buccaneers, wide receiver Robby Anderson appeared to sound off against his quarterbacks. According to ESPN NFL Nation reporter David Newton, Anderson was asked if he thought the team needed a change at quarterback. He gave a straightforward answer, saying “I just want to win, win the Super Bowl, be All-Pro, and be the best I can be.”

The Panthers wideout was then apparently asked if his goals could happen with the quarterbacks currently on the roster. That’s where things got a little spicy. He responded noting that he didn’t accomplish any of those goals this year.

It’s hard to argue with Anderson’s comments. Both Darnold and Newton struggled for most of the season. Darnold finished the year with seven touchdown passes and 12 interceptions while Newton had four touchdowns to five interceptions, completing only 54% of his passes.

Anderson, however, did not help his own cause, as he dropped a lot of passes this season and Panthers wide receiver DJ Moore was still able to put up 1,070 yards receiving and four touchdowns.

It’s not known at this point who will be the starting quarterback for the Panthers next season.

Imagine how much better Darnold and Cam's stats would have been if Robby had dropped 15 or so less balls.

Absolutely. 

On a side note, I'm not a Robby Anderson fan, but that was a damned if you do, damned if you don't question.

There are people who work on the neutering line at the hog farm who don't drop as many balls per season as Sideshow Bob did. Put that clown on a bus.

This made my laugh really hard.  Thank you 😃

    • I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.
    • Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.
    • The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
