Well it's not your money so who gives two sh*ts.

Anderson has been a top 10 tackler for the past two years so quit bitching

i do give a poo when this team can't spend money to fix any other hole on the team because they spend a disproportionate amount of it mainly at two positions and so should you

You have to spend money either way to keep holes from being at every position. We payed James to be the guy at SLB. He is an above average SLB in my opinion as well. Once again paying 4.4 million dollars for an above average SLB and a two time top ten tackler isn't absurd so quit acting like it.

is he a top ten tackler on third down though?

He's not a great pass rusher but he is average and he is a good run stopper. Kuechly was brought in to hopefully be our pass-rusher.

Oh and in 2010 he was a good pass rusher but I guess it's difficult to be a good pass rusher in 2011 when you are the only player on defense that commands attention. You know damn well Jason Phillips, Kion Wilson, and Jordan Senn aren't going to help out Anderson.

um actually all indications are that Kuechly is playing the weakside, and if you understand the type of defense we play you'd know he's going to be dropping in coverage most of the time on passing downs

Well in that case, Anderson will have to go back to his productive year in 2010 when he was a top 10 pass rusher at the linebacker position. Also in 2010 he had Beason and Connor that were able to alleviate some of the attention off of him.

It shouldn't be hard for Anderson to dig deep and turn his performance back to the 2010 season's productivity.

Kuechly hasn't proved to be a pass-rusher, our best pass-rushing LB is Davis by far.

But to say he wasn't brought in to the Panthers to try and be a pass rusher is stupid. They are hoping to teach him that and I'm sure Belin and Rivera can get it done.

And I wouldn't even say Davis is our best pass rushing linebacker. Both of Davis's and Anderson's best seasons resulted in 3.5 sack seasons. The only other season Anderson has started resulted in a 1.5 sack season which tends to be Thomas Davis's average sack season.

Kuechly should be our new SLB with Anderson at WLB. We used our top 10 draft pick who's strength is pass coverage. Would be stupid not to have him lined up over the TE.

I agree, that way we don't have to teach him anything as he will usually be dropping back in coverage on the tight end and coming up and stopping the run.

      Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.

      Didnt Canales already say starters are playing in the pre season? either way extra reps dont hurt but im not one of those people that think playing in the pre season would have saved Bryce from an awful start.

      very helpful.  I read back in this thread where they might try Jarvis at C--I thought he and Aho had good chemistry, however.  Nonetheless, he could expand his value there, and now we have a guy who can play jarvis' spot.  Freddie is a pro, no doubt--and as little as I know about the inner workings of strategy and positions, I could tell Burns was burning us at times.  I figured he'd retire and I was looking forward to it.  FWIW, they have Jarvis listed as a C on the 2025-26 roster.
