Anderson wasn't good enough for Carolina

We'd be in the playoffs right now if we didn't have coaches and management that did stupid things.

What, like financially hamstring the team with an inept LT with a bad contract that negatively impacts the team and offensive line for years to come? Yeah, that was pretty stupid indeed.

Like I said, the only reason that we're having this discussion right now is because of Anderson's game last night. That's it. This is another tiresome, poo on Hurney and Rivera thread, at all costs, by any means necessary, led by the master hater, Scot.

Yeah, I started this thread and nobody agrees with me :eyeroll:

And it's not like there are national analysts who never visit this board - like that guy from USA Today that you like - calling us stupid or anything.

What these folks dont understand is.... we needed to cut CJ loose.... how else were we gonna get a look at that CAP guy.....

Well, in my boy CAP's defense, he was just as effective sitting on the bench doing nothing while CMC got 99.99% of the carries as CJ was.

Great click bait, but still doesn't change the fact that Cam's injury was significantly more causative of our downfall than the release of Anderson. It still doesn't change the likelihood of us getting to the playoffs (which was basically nil). And, it still doesn't change the fact that it makes sense to keep C-Mac on the field as much as you can. 

Hooray for click bait! 

Just go ahead and have your useless Hurney-Rivera Hatefest. Others absolutely agree with you, and others are also more honest about it. It's your thing. Take every opportunity and use any means necessary to spew the hate.

You do realize I actually didn't start this thread, right? Unless you think I somehow have shadow puppets.

As mentioned before, you're getting seriously emotional about this stuff to the point of coming unglued.

Honestly, Anderson and Artis-Payne are probably more similar than people want to admit. We'll probably never know because Artis-Payne has just never really been given the opportunity. Anderson has been given the opportunity, even up to the point of helping the Broncos beat us in the Super Bowl, but Denver booted him all the same, and no one rushed to pick him up. Even after we released him, teams still pretty much had a take-him-or-leave-him type of attitude. And, like I said earlier, thus far their average running the ball isn't that different, though Anderson has had arguably better O-lines.

Oh, there you go with the "emotional" stuff. Yeah, I'm filled with so much mirth at your posts that I'm literally laughing out loud.

It doesn't matter who started the thread. That doesn't matter. You, like a Pavlovian subject, just can't help yourself. You dump on Hurney and Rivera at EVERY opportunity, but it's the drive-bys---the passive aggressive potshots on them, and largely useless, that is your specialty. Bravo! Just be honest about it.

We'll, I did notice that a little while ago you were saying you weren't going to talk about this with me because my view is so simplistic, yet here you still are.

But I'm the one who "can't help myself". Yeah :thinking:

he was the perfect Stewart replacement for us and we refuse to play him and that after all the yars we still played stewart when we knew he was finished.

I would argue that Artis-Payne should have been given more opportunity over Stew. Maybe, just maybe, if we had given Artis-Payne a chance, then Anderson wouldn't have ever been a Panther and we wouldn't be having this pretty much useless discussion.

I'm not talking about Anderson with you as much am talking about your need to go overboard with your Hurney-Rivera Hatefest. That's probably sailed above your head though.

Riiiight.

Here's the thing, dude. I don't "hate" guys for being lousy at their jobs.

Nor do I hate them for cutting my favorite player (something you could stand to do less of, by the way).

On the flipside, I also don't support guys keeping jobs they do poorly.

But the biggest difference between you and me is that I don't change my positions just to spite people.

I believe what I believe, regardless of whether someone else does or not. Whereas you're apparently so desperate to win an argument with me that you'll take up ridiculous ideas just to do so.

No offense dude, but you're not that important to me.

I talk football on this board because I enjoy doing so, not because I'm on a mission to change people's minds or be popular.  if that kind of thing mattered to me, I just go along with what everybody else says. I don't.

Now, when this is no longer fun, that's when I'll stop. And admittedly, cheering for a team that's going to continue to be mediocre takes a lot of the fun out of it, so that's a real possibility.

if I do, then I suppose you can declare yourself the winner of the argument and maybe you'll feel a sense of satisfaction.

Here's hoping, right?

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
