The Carolina Panthers’ once-promising season fell apart as the year progressed. They began the campaign 3-0 and had hopes of a postseason berth. Following their deflating 41-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, the Panthers finished the season at 5-12. They lost 12 of their last 14 games.

A lot of that can be credited to the poor quarterback play from the Panthers. The team mostly used a combination of Sam Darnold and Cam Newton under center this year.

While speaking to the press after the loss to the Buccaneers, wide receiver Robby Anderson appeared to sound off against his quarterbacks. According to ESPN NFL Nation reporter David Newton, Anderson was asked if he thought the team needed a change at quarterback. He gave a straightforward answer, saying “I just want to win, win the Super Bowl, be All-Pro, and be the best I can be.”

The Panthers wideout was then apparently asked if his goals could happen with the quarterbacks currently on the roster. That’s where things got a little spicy. He responded noting that he didn’t accomplish any of those goals this year.

It’s hard to argue with Anderson’s comments. Both Darnold and Newton struggled for most of the season. Darnold finished the year with seven touchdown passes and 12 interceptions while Newton had four touchdowns to five interceptions, completing only 54% of his passes.

Anderson, however, did not help his own cause, as he dropped a lot of passes this season and Panthers wide receiver DJ Moore was still able to put up 1,070 yards receiving and four touchdowns.

It’s not known at this point who will be the starting quarterback for the Panthers next season.

To be fair, this alien-looking mofo didn't exactly throw anyone under the bus with the comments above.

He took the high-road like he should (for a change).

Yeah this is nothing, didn't actually say anything about the QBs at all

Yep.  He took the high road.

This invalidates the whole premise of the thread.   

 

NEXT!

      Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets.

      Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
