Is the James Anderson project over soon?

I don't really know too much about him, and never really saw him play except in limited pre-season work. The Panthers took him in the third round in 2006 as a weak side (Will) linebacker out of Virginia Tech. We could really use someone young to step into the strong side position that is held by Diggs.

Why hasn't this kid been used more there? Has anyone seen him play, and does he look like he may of been a bust, or has he progressed throughout the years here. Anyone with any kind of information as to how he has done so far and does it look are done developing him so far would be appreciated long time huddle fans. He looked like a solid prospect out of college with pretty good speed and strength.

Yeah, he was a damned fine player in college and a damned fine one for us last year late in the season in admitted limited access. I think he's ready to excel, he's certainly not a throwaway...

He definitely is fast and I have noticed him in passing situations some. He also did not suit up every game either last year. It will be hard for him to see a bunch of playing time as long as Davis is healthy, and even if he got hurt, not sure if Anderson would come in before Johnson either. Does anyone remember if it was weak or strong side where Connor was working out last year? If Connor was working weak side, then the Anderson era may be very limited, I hope he sticks around personally.

I just think we would be better suited giving someone playing time who can actually develop under it more. Diggs is past peaked and didn't Johnson's last year at Cinci he played MLB? I wish I would know more about Connor at one of the OLB positions, its time to find our starter of the future at SAM.

Last year during cuts, a lot of emphasis was put on ST, where he was needed. With so much young talent in camp this year, they may look to start devoloping some new guys. If thats the case, Anderson has to be one of the ones on the bubble.

diggs hasn't exactly peaked, he certainly doesn't have fresh legs but he's having a bit of a resurgance here in carolina, until somebody can unseat him he should be the starter

If I remember correctly, our starter was injured his rookie season I believe towards the end of the season, and he had a very good game against New Orleans. He had a 1 or 2 sacks and got a lot of pressure on the QB. I've always liked what I've seen from him, but I think despite his strength and speed, he may have problems on non-passing downs... That's the only thing I can figure as to why he doesn't get on the field.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
