Josh McCown vs Derek Anderson


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

McCown played pretty well last night in relief of an injured Jay Cutler.

Smitty made reference to him on radio yesterday as well, pointing out to the guys on The Drive that "White Chocolate" would be starting.

So, if you had a choice at backup QB next season, would you want to stick with Derek Anderson or would you be interested in giving Drago another shot?

 

Yep, he was impressive. Then again, both teams were playing with back-up QBs. Don't know if he played better because the other QB wasn't that great or that he is good. But the guy have some serious mobility in him. I was impressed.

How many teams have a former Pro Bowler as their backup?  Michael Vick doesn't count.  Would you rather have Matt Moore as the backup?  I'd rather have Anderson.  Even if it was only for one season, he did lead a team to a winning record.  McCown has never done that.  Most backups in the league haven't done that.  Just good to have a guy that has the experience to step in and win on a long term basis because you never know when the injury bug will bite.  Just look around the league...we won't escape it forever.

    • Bryce Young has recorded 4 game-winning drives through nine weeks, leading the Carolina Panthers to crucial victories in tight contests. The 12-play, 58-yard clock-killer versus the Packers in Week 9 (16-13 upset). This pace positions him as the team's most clutch performer in years, with a 68.4% success rate on go-ahead drivesalready surpassing many franchise benchmarks early in his career.   Young's early 2025 surge (top-5 league-wide in clutch EPA at 0.28 per dropback) not only outstrips the debuts of Newton (2 in 2011) and Delhomme (1 in 2003) but hints at him climbing this list quickly if the Panthers sustain their wildcard hunt. Data underscores his growth: no other Panther QB hit 4 GWDs before Week 10 in a season.   The energy fans pour into the stadium directly shapes Bryce Young’s performance positive support has been shown to elevate his fourth-quarter efficiency by 12%, strengthening team cohesion and execution under pressure. Criticizing or booing the starting quarterback fractures morale, disrupts focus, and undermines the very resilience needed in clutch moments. When fans stand firmly behind their QB and team, they become a true home-field advantage, amplifying performance and accelerating the path to sustained success. Now are you a Carolina Panther fan or a Panther hater? 
    • Bryce would have extended some plays scrambling with his legs but then again he also has a high number of fumbles so you never know what you're going to get and the way the Bills were getting after Andy (sacked 7 times) it stands to reason Bryce would have been under duress often. What exactly do you want here? I mean I'm going to go by the gameplan I saw after Bryce turned the ball over against GB. Clearly Dave Canales was deliberately trying to limit the opportunities for him to make a catastrophic mistake. And didn't Micah Parsons log zero QB pressures? So with that in mind if you are asking for anyone to argue our offense with Bryce would have had much if any success against that opportunistic motivated Bills defense while we were also splitting carries between Rico and Chuba who had the majority of them which ended up being a situation resulting in a weeks worth of scathing criticism and deservedly so then I'm going to just have to say we can agree to disagree.
