Man our D is going to suffer without Anderson :-(. Jk, he was the worst contract during the "core" offseason. We could have ourselves a comparable player for next to nothing from the scrap heap or FA.

You do know he had 20 tackles against giants this year right? and that he doesn't have as many tackles this year unlike last year because Keek is getting them for him. Anderson isn't the best in zone coverage but overall as a LB he's much much more than a "scrap heap". Whatever the fug that is.

As you mentioned he does hurt us in coverage, but his weak spot that hurts our entire team is taking on blocks. He doesn't fully commit and instead of stonewalling the blocker, plugging the hole he gets drivin right out. You see Davis and Kuechly makes plays for eachother by sacrificing themselves by eating a block for the other guy to make the stop every game. Not Anderson.

Man our D is going to suffer without Anderson :-(. Jk, he was the worst contract during the "core" offseason. We could have ourselves a comparable player for next to nothing from the scrap heap or FA.

He signed the contract prior to the 2011 season, then went out and led the team in tackles (145) by 61 over the next guy on the list (Godfrey). Throw in a couple picks- the team leaders (Gamble and Martin) were tied at 3- and you have an outside LB who can also play in the middle.

7/29/2011: Signed a five-year, $22 million contract. The deal contains $8.5 million guaranteed, including a $7 million signing bonus and $1.5 million of Anderson's second-year salary. An annual $100,000 workout bonus is available in years two through five.

2012: $2.4 million

2013: $2.9 million

2014-2015: $3.9 million

2016: Free Agent

The guy signed a contract that paid him big up front, saved a bunch of cap space and he's getting $7.5M over 4 years, which is not a lot of money. And remember, this was long before anyone knew Kuechly was even on the radar.

Know who else signed a contract at the same time? Thomas Davis- $36.5M over 5 years- and this was after 2 ACLs, soon to be 3 not long after he signed the contract. And you're telling me that in July of 2011 Anderson was a bigger contract risk than Thomas Davis?

The Panthers are playing right now with a low-rent LB corps: Jason Phillips ($540k 1-year), Senn ($750k 1-year), Kuechly ($12.58M 4-year fully guaranteed; $7.6M up front and a $390k base in 2012).

So before you use the wisdom of hindsight, you should put yourself back in time to July 2011 and see where this team was then. Anderson is the veteran leadership on this LB corps having been playing there longer than anyone else on the roster. Davis is a year ahead of Anderson, but obviously missed a couple seasons.

      Ekwonu doesn’t get dog walked under 2 minutes in the 4th, we drive, kick a FG and win

      How do you expect him to step up in the pocket when Ickey is being pushed to the spot you want him to be. Stills don’t tell the entire picture.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
