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.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
