Trading James Anderson?


Sam Mills Fan

Recommended Posts

Theory I came up with this morning: with all this chatter about us liking Luke Kuechly so much, is there a chance they're thinking of trading James Anderson? If we take Kuechly, it would make no sense unless we moved one of the guys there currently and the only one with real trade value we would be willing to part with is Anderson for the right price. I would hate this, but does anyone else feel this theory makes sense?

Anderson is a starting-quality LB, if we had all 3 of our LBs at their peaks for an entire season he would likely be the third best out of the bunch, but he is our only starting LB that is coming back from an overall healthy season. Can't risk losing him, we need him.

You have Thomas Davis as your avatar when you should have James Anderson.

Okay, people obviously don't really worry about calling you an idiot on these forums.... So try not to take it too personally. However, James Anderson is a pretty damn good LB, he may not be as explosive as Beason or Davis when healthy, but he is solid in just about every aspect of the game. I personally really like Anderson.... I don't think if we draft Keuchly even then would we would trade him. Thomas Davis, I love the guy, but three ACL tears in past three seasons, I can't trust that.

    • I've been screaming for DE for months. Forbidden topic indeed. 
    • Great post! Now that I think on it, I think D line might be our biggest need. We are one player away from having a potential disastrous defensive line. Brown and Wharton struggled last year and Wharton has really only been a rotational player that specializes in one thing. Can we count on him being a full time starter? Jackson is unproven. Do you want a starting defensive line of Wharton, Brown and Jackson? I don’t want to risk it.   I honestly don’t think linebacker is that big of a need. If Rozeboom ends up coming back then why get a LB?   games are won in the trenches and I would honestly prefer us drafting an offensive or defensive linemen over any other position in the first. The prospect you mentioned seems like a good prospect who has had some good production as well. Only problem is defensive line is a position that can take time for a player to develop. Will whoever we draft be ready this season ? 
    • Have they though? I'll give you KC with Kelce, but c'mon, they weren't winning those SB's because they had a great TE, it was a combination of Mahomes and some great defenses.  Will also give you the 49ers and Ravens with Kittle and Andrews, but even then, both have missed time with injuries the last few years. After those 3 teams, the best teams of the last 2-3 years have not had elite TEs The Eagles had Goedert, he's good, not great. The Bills have also had good but not great TE's The Rams have had average TEs and still consistently run 2 and 3 TE sets with them and still win. The Bucs have been winning the South without a great TE The Lions' Laporta is more a name than a highly productive TE. The Texans have had a serviceable TE in Shultz, but nothing too amazing. Some of the best TE's in the league the last few years have been on some of the worst teams.  McBride, Bowers, Warren, Njoku, even Pitts this past year. A true elite TE is absolutely a weapon in today's game, but I think the best teams use that money elsewhere and find serviceable TE play, usually through a committee where each TE brings something else to the table.
