Anderson minus Chudzinski

Derek Anderson's best success has come during times when he's worked under Rob Chudzinski as an OC.  Away from Chudzinski though, Anderson's been up and down.  This past offseason, there was plenty of speculation he'd follow Chudzinski to Cleveland.  Most were surprised - pleasantly so - when he re-signed here instead.

 

After watching him the other night and reading some of the camp stuff, I wonder if not having him here this season will affect him.

 

Anderson's only a backup, and Newton has generally been durable.  There were, however, a fair number of 'slow to get up' plays as the season ran on last year.

 

So how comfortable are you right now with Derek Anderson as the backup QB?

 

If you're not, what could you suggest as a realistically viable alternative?

Yeah, Anderson didn't look great the other night, but with our defense and running game (Barner baby!) I still feel like we could be competitive with DA under center. Also, I don't think not having Chud here would hurt DA too much. If you look at the season when he had success in Cleveland, it was on the back of a strong running game and TE play, not read option stuff, so I'm sure he'd be fine under Shula's play calling.

It was ONE preseason game. Jeez. 

 

All reports out of camp have said that he has looked sharp. Some even saying he's looked even more accurate than Cam. 

 

Not quite.  He's had his fair share of negative plays.

 

I will be looking forward to seeing him in the next preseason outing though.

 

(Game 3 will be mostly Newton, and Game 4 probably mostly Clausen)

Well hopefully we'll never have to see Cam's backup in meaningful minutes ever.

I'd agree, but the team has to make a plan "just in case".  It's the NFL.  Injuries happen.

 

My question is how many are still comfortable with the current "backup plans".

      We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.

      I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.

      Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
