Panthers signing Derek Anderson

[Fan01]

I thought only Fox players magically got injured when they were being replaced. :)

Something to keep in mind is that the new CBA allows 3 QBs to be rosterable more easily. Having a guy familiar with Chud's scheme be that 3rd guy is almost a need IMO. Derek is familiar but also has been benched for Brady Quinn, Delhomme, Max Hall and John Skelton in only the past couple years.

i don't think that's good

I will say that Pike is probably getting released, and they let him know, or, it's just that it's so damn hot out there. But probably because he's getting replaced.

if he's the 3rd QB, then i dont mind the signing, it's a good idea because he can help teach the offense, but if he starts, then i have worries, he just hasnt proved himself a true starter. he's been benched for Quinn, Hall and Skelton and was released for Jake Delhomme. he's not a starter, he's a backup.

Pike is likely gone and will either be on the practice squad or will be on another roster like Miami or Washington.

Makes me feel better that they at least told him his job is mainly to be a mentor. I still bet he is Day 1 starter.

crap.

hopefully he can keep his mouth shut and attitude in check. i have no desire to see this guy starting. i'd rather have clausen start....seriously.

maybe if fox was still here..get out of that mindset.

@panthers

Carolina Panthers HC Ron Rivera said he had a positive meeting with free agent Derek Anderson today, and GM Marty Hurney is negotiating with the QB's agent.

No!!!!!!!!!

[rayzor]

said it before, if anderson gets the start expect some booing, moreso than if clausen started. unlike clausen, i won't condemn the booing.

the dude will absolutely have to light it up in a big way before i can get behind him as a panther. just not happy about this at all.

not that I want to see him on the field.....but he had less talent on his team and won more games than Jimmy did last year.

I dont' want to see either take the field.

[jherald]

I'm depressed. I'd rather sit through growing pains than to watch this mother fugger start.

[ncmonzta]

He's only being brought in to help Cam and Jimmy with the offense and as a emergency QB. He'll be the #3 on the roster. Cam still will more than likely be the starter week 1. No worries.:D
