What do you think about the Derek Anderson signing?

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 think jake would have brought more to the table from a mentor standpoint

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.

I hate this guy. Awful signing. Troy Smith does a lot more from a few standpoints. And there are others.

I think they signed him to give pickles a break from all the bad jokes.

No. Jake hasn't been the same since that unspoken day in 2008.

Id rather have OLD jake than anderson but not NEW jake.

[CarolinaPride5]

It kills me to say this but I'd rather have Jake.

That's about the only positive thing I can see about it.

Didn't read anything because I couldn't get over how much time you took to create that poll...

Longest ever!?

Really don't understand the hate? Anderson has shown capability to play, yes it was in the past. But Anderson is a Chud guy and he should be a good mentor.

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.
