Anderson wasn't good enough for Carolina

Yeah...cause our running game is what held us back this year....? Why does this matter??? McCaffrey was great as our featured back. Do you really think Anderson would’ve helped our team (with all its holes) win more games this year? Or are y’all actually complaining now in anticipation that 5 years down the line, CMC’s body might be broken and bruised because we overused him? That’s a tad bit premature...

This.

Some people just want to throw a fit.

If McCaffrey and Anderson were given an even work load here, Anderson would have out played him.

Rivera and co. wanted to give McCaffrey a chance to be the feature back without looking over his shoulder.

Wholly shet.  LOL.

To think that we couldn't find a way to get CMC and Anderson on the field at the same time is sad. Then when we did use Anderson, it was for short passes when he isn't a good receiving back...

The CJ thing was my biggest head scratcher... a wasted opportunity for a dynamic one two punch...

And the notion that you let go of a great player just because you have another one is silly. Depth is one of the most difficult things to come by in the NFL. When you have it, you don't waste it, unless you're stupid.

Anderson is making our leadership look pretty stupid right now.

He’s not a “great” player and he was only signed with us until the end of the year anyways. He was cut by the worst team in football shortly after us and the Chiefs weren’t willing to even sign him after working him out. Don’t act like anyone could have predicted this kind of success for him in the playoffs. 

Yes he’s good in the right situation but a lot of NFL RBs are. Our problems this season had absolutely nothing to do with the lack of playing time for CJ Anderson and if you think so then you’re absolutely crazy. 

You can certainly find reasons to criticize Rivera but this isn’t one of them.

He is a good receiving back. Turner and Rivera just screwed the pooch. Rams have Gurley (great back) and C.J to compliment him. That's what good coaches do....maximize the talent they have. Not this group here.

You're watching this game and trying to argue that Anderson isn't a great player? Really?

He was a thousand yard rusher the previous season and ran all over us in the Super Bowl. Heck, even in the first few games here, he was running very well.

This is absolutely a reason to criticize Rivera. It's one of the dumbest decisions he made all year (and there's plenty of competition for that award).

Norv ain't perfect that's for sure. We had a potential lethal running game but he wouldn't utilize him.

No after watching one game I am not ready to call him a great player.

I’m sure you’d be the same type of fan that would call CJ Anderson a terrible player if he fumbled once and was struggling tonight. Easy to make flash decisions and call him a great player when he’s having one great game... 

Good player in the right situation don’t get me wrong but it’s not like Gurley is getting shut down and CJ Anderson is saving the day. Both backs are absolutely gashing which tells me the Rams have a good OLine and the Cowboys aren’t playing well. 

And again with Anderson only being signed on until the end of the year it absolutely made sense for both the Panthers and Anderson to part ways.

Play CMC on 97% of all downs over the next few years. Sure. Try that. 

It’s not sustainable.

Preach it.  Its like we want to drive the wheels off by the time his rookie contract is up.

Cutting CJ Anderson is just a microcosm of our dysfunction
