What Is Gantt's Problem With James Anderson?

He's taken shots at him all through the year, saying that James is overrated and that Witherspoon was better etc. Wtf does he have against James? Does anyone remember if James pissed him off for him to act that way to him?

As overpaid as DeAngelo Williams might be, pales in comparison to paying 4.4m/year for a two-down linebacker. That deal keeps getting worse.

uh, sorry guys but James Anderson isn't all that and a bag of potato chips and Will Witherspoon was better, anyone arguing otherwise has some short term memory and a weird hard on for the man.

the reason James is over Paid is while he is a solid LB'er he excels nowhere, he's literally a dime a dozen player and nothing more.

James is a solid tackler, average in pass coverage, good run stopper and overall a good starting linebacker.

Don't see the problem in paying the guy 4.4 million.

in this league, it's pretty god damned easy to get the same ability for less money

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
