Keep if he is happy being where he is on the depth chart AND is happy to sign a pretty minimal deal. It's always worth having someone like him as insurance if Davis takes a while to recover.

Unfortunately with the exposure of starting these last few games, he will likely be advised to hit free agency. Starting experience is not over looked and I am sure someone will be able to throw a little more money at him than we can, plus likely give him a better chance to start.

Yes, I think he's better than Diggs and Johnson when given the opportunity. I just have always gotten the feeling that he isn't 100% into giving it his all year-round for football - like a guy that has other interests... That's the only reason I can explain a guy that has great athleticism that never really translates to the field.

Rather keep him than Johnson. I think Diggs is underated, but Anderson is waaaaaayyyy faster than Diggs and younger I believe, so if there is a choice long term I would prefer Anderson. Against the run Anderson plays real well, but against the pass he has trouble in coverages. If he gets stronger in that aspect he can be a valuable piece.

Anderson surely look better than Landon Johnson. We should keep him & not renew Johnson's contract next year.

I don't think Johnson has much chance of havinghis contract renewed. He is as good as gone unless I have the duration of his contract wrong!

Anderson's future is not set on our current LB depth, more how many other LBs hit free agency, as that will dictate his chances of landing a better spot elsewhere.

Landon Johnson is signed through 2010, FA in 2011.

No way he should have started ahead of Anderson when Davis went to IR. The upside is that we can cut Johnson and his unbalanced pay vs. talent contract if 2010 is an uncapped year. Johnson needs to go. We have a core of 5 LBs that are significantly better than him (Diggs/Beason/Davis and Conner/Anderson). For the record I think Anderson is a 2nd stringer, not a 3rd.

Diggs reinjured his ribs during the Tampa game and Conner replaced him in base defense during the second half. I thought both he and Anderson played very well.

      Most hated teams

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
