Right. Don’t speculate on a fan board.

Got it.

Yeah because Gurley and his 8 yards a carry really struggled tonight. 

And yes to answer your question I have less of a leash for a vet on a one year deal then I do for a rookie on a 4 year deal. CJ was a late signing with us this year since no other teams were all that interested and when we cut him again no other teams were that interested for a couple weeks... quit acting like Ron is blind for not seeing this coming and every other coach did 

like I said, a lot of backs can look great in short stretches of games. Anderson is good but far from a premier back.

Again, Anderson was a thousand yard rusher last season.

Gurley wasn't in the last few games of the season at all. Anderson still racked up over a hundred and fifty yards in each one.

During Cam Newton's rookie season, Greg Olsen criticized him for a decision he made. Newton responded by saying "fug you".

So tell me, which one of them should we have cut?

Who the hell ever hinted that Anderson was a locker room culture misfit? Was this ever substantiated?

[KillerKat]

Did I really just read an argument in Rivera's favor to cut CJ was "because we have holes everywhere else"? So apparently kids, if your football team has too many holes, you might as well cut every other exceptional player you have. Sounds legit. Jesus Christ, the huddle is full of morons.

If he's unhappy, you can either respond and listen to what he has to say or you can tell him to sit down and shut up. That's part of being a head coach.

Cutting a good player and hurting our depth is a stupid move. You hurt your own team and reward him by doing so.

Rivera's own statements since the transaction show just how idiotic it was.

 

So why did we cut Steve Smith? You praised the move because he was a locker room distraction.

Another scot contradiction. The fool should not be taken seriously by anybody.

If Anderson was cut due in part to a “culture” issue, perhaps it’s the culture that sucks. 

They did lose 7 straight games. Not exactly a bedrock of championship habits.

You're still pissed.  I get it, it was a shitty season and a guy we cut is going to the conference championship.

 

Im confident that somewhere between here and July you'll find some perspective. 

Please understand I value your opinion and hope you continue to post here.

So I tell you Gurley also ran well tonight to show you that Anderson isn’t the only one to show that maybe the oline has something to do with the running success and you respond by telling me that Gurley didn’t play the last two games of the season... 

Then you deflect every thing I said by saying maybe Cam should have been cut? Yikes that went south fast

Smith was actually cut because they felt like he was hurting the development of Cam Newton.

We were in the Super Bowl a year later.

We should have kept CJ and played him more.  Obviously, but we have the most conservative lazy coaching staff and they weren’t interested in changing or listening to reason.  IMO we need to find a better backup as soon as we get a new coaching staff.  These guys are definitely going to ride CMC and Cam into the ground.

Yes, if used properly.  Had we perhaps sit a hurt Cam, put in a back up and relied heavily on a two headed rushing attack, yeah I could see a few more wins.  We wernt exactly playing many juggernaugts in that 7 game streak.

I pointed it out because the only rationales that I've seen for cutting Anderson are people suggesting he was a locker room problem. There's actually no evidence to support this.

We cut a guy who could have helped us. There's no justifying that. It was a dumbass move made by dumbass decision makers.

Hmmm why did they believe he was hurting Cam's development? 

Some people here believe Smith punched Cam...

Nope not a distraction.
