Comments on: Derek Anderson visiting Carolina, not signed yet http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/31/report-derek-anderson-lands-in-carolina/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Tue, 21 May 2013 19:58:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: tformation http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/31/report-derek-anderson-lands-in-carolina/#comment-1164349 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 14:47:54 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=144025#comment-1164349 Yeah, D.A. is not the future of the Panthers franchise. He’s a vet who knows the system. He won’t win you many games, but how many games are the Panthers going to win this year anyway? Let him mentor Cam for a half/quarter of a season or so while Cam stays humble with a clipboard.

Now whether D.A. is the right choice to mentor Cam… that’s an open question. Got to think Ron & friends know what they’re doing on that one…

He wasn’t supposed to start in Az but because of Leinart’s bitch fit at the end of pre-season last year which lead to him getting cut, he was starting.

The only good thing about DA is that he’s one tough sonofabitch. We had one of the worst OLines in the league last season and DA just got up and carried on after being buried by a mountain of DEs and OLBs.

What many forget is that Derek Anderson knows the Panthers’ new offense. His best season was in Cleveland under the current offensive coordinator for Carolina.

Do I want him starting? No.

He’s here mainly to help teach the offense to two young QBs.

JR had a plan, stuck to it through all the fans raising hell these last 2 years – including me, and now we are seeing the benefits. We need a veteran QB for these young guys – not a 3rd string QB. Derek will not be seeing playing time – he is simply a helper.

BTW – Cam is a freakish athlete – if he is 1/5th as good as his ability shows – we will be super bowl bound in 2-3 years!

One thing I don’t understand is if this guy is so bad (and after witnessing Arizona games, he is) how did he make it to the pro bowl in 2007 and then tank?

Simple: The 2007 Browns were a virtual all star team on offense. He had every weapon imaginable who would go out of their way to make the catch. Anderson didn’t even have to be accurate because his recievers did all the work.

He fell off because in 08 ALL of his weapons were hurt a majority of the year and in 09 they were ALL traded away. As far as Arizona goes, their whole offense fell off, when 1 QB stinks it’s the QB when FOUR stink, blame the 1 domentional offense. With that being said,the Panthers should sign Anderson as a backup. Derek Anderson is NOT a bust but he is not an elite QB either. He is a system QB. If he has recievers that are quick and can establish seperation in one on one situations he looks competent. Also he gets his feelings hurt pretty easily so watch what you say to him but otherwise he’s a better option then Jimmy Clausen seems to be as a backup.

It was the most immature behavior I’ve seen in an adult in quite a few years. A few defensive players were standing nearby watching as well. They were in total disbelief. DA is extremely immature and STRANGE. His brain is just not in the game.

When things get rough at least they can now look at the guy with the clipboard and understand that it could be worse.

But I was right, I like the guy but he doesn’t have what it takes. I said it back then and I’m still saying it now. Good luck to the guy though

He’s there for a veteran presence… Carolina has Cam Newton, Jimmy Clausen, Tony Pike, and wide receiver Armanti Edwards who have ever thrown a football before and none of them are even 23 1/2 years old… chill

Mark Bulger wants to start somewhere and Jake Delhomme would not be back in Charlotte. Who else is a viable source for veteran depth?

All you hater are gonna really be hatin’ when you see Shockey and Olsen lined up on each side, Cam Newton sittin in the gun with Williams and Stewart to each side of him…Then there’s 89.

Sleep on that.

I used to root for the guy…you know, rags to riches thing…but after seeing him just suck the wind out of an offense for the last several years…i don’t know how the GM of the Cardinals didn’t get fired last year for having that guy on the field.

Yeah, he was a Pro Bowler for the first 10 games that season, but tanked the second half, and couldn’t complete a pass to save his life in the PB.

He may be able to throw a ball through a brick wall, but he’s as accurate as Wikipedia.

They keep shooting at that foot, they’ll hit it sooner or later.

I’ve heard JaCarcass Russell still thinks he can help a team.

No risk, and probably will be signed to a low dollar contract. He may not be very good but he has experience. At least he can help Cam along and at worst he may play a little bit for a team with few expectations this year.
