What do you think about the Derek Anderson signing?


Recommended Posts

I wanted to put a poll in the other thread but I couldn't figure out if you could edit one to put one in there, so I just made a new thread.

I saw a lot of negative comments on Anderson, a few positive comments, and few "It is what it is" comments. So I want to see where most of the fans stand on the signing.

I included many options to see exactly where everyone stands.

I don't think it will be that big of a deal since he almost certainly will not be playing in any games other than preseason.

He's there to help Cam (and I guess Jimmy) along with the offense, and to hold a clipboard. I'm okay with it.

Just look at what he did for Matt Moore the end of the 2009 season. He's a good mentor and can teach these guys how to be an effective leader on the field. He just lost his edge.

Love how all of you Nostradamuses know he will not play this year.

Your blind nut hugging of Cam has you refusing to see the issues.

Cam has zero experience in an NFL style offense...we have an shortened offseason which will impact his development...we have a new coaching staff and system.

Cam has tons of potential, but is not likely to be ready. Now, rivera and team may be of the camp that says to play the kid early and see what you have. Or, they may be of the camp that says he is not ready and throwing him out there is not the way to go.

None of us know the answer at this time.

IF they were going to go with a vet early and then turn the reigns over to Cam at some time in the future (likely mid season), what better stop gap than someone who already knows Chud's system.

Looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

    • I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years. 
    • I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
