CJ Anderson says Panthers didn’t do anything wrong

I feel like Marty is more of a players GM... he handles the cuts pretty well in terms of how he delivers it to the player.  He is straight up but warm and fuzzy.  Its the contract extensions and knowing when to cut a player that he really has a hard time with.  I imagine it's a very hard thing to do after watching a player develop, grow in the system and later cut them for whatever reason.  But it's part of the job. 

Gettleman was just the opposite... but he also came off as having being a bit drunk on power so to speak.  And I think that his ego got int he way when making some crucial decisions. See Josh Norman.  

Either way... it's gotta be hard as fugg to compartmentalize all that stuff as an NFL GM.  Nothing is really as black and white as we fans want to see it.  That scene in Money Ball when Billy says he doesnt travel with the team cause he doesnt want to get close to players... yeah, that has gotta be hard.

So I am not surprised the Panthers let CJ go in a respectable fashion.  The decision is a highly debatable... but they def didnt do it in a cold blooded fashion.

At the time I said it’s for the greater good - to knock out the Saints.   So it was.  

His stats in the games he did play were not amazing, maybe he was just not a good fit that is all there is to it. I give props on signing him and trying him out we can call it a failed experiment. 

Anderson wasn't the one who failed.

This is part of the problem, especially because Rivera is the same way.

When you have both a coach and a GM who aren't good at making the tough decisions that are necessary to build a winning roster, there are gonna be issues.
