Anderson


Hairless Cat

Recommended Posts

not just probably, he won't... unless Newton (and Clausen likely) gets injured.

Anderson was never meant to play on this team, he was meant to serve as a mentor and guide for Cam and Jimmy. As Rivera said, they are our future.

Frankly, I'd rather they be our future once they were a bit more ready, especially when Anderson has looked pretty damn great all preseason, but hey... whatever

Stats don't begin to tell the whole story, but Anderson was 14/23 263 yards and 2 TDs. A good preseason for him anyway.

His ball placement tonight was amazing. He managed to make some nice throws under pressure too, though not always. He didn't look anything like the suck he has been for the last couple years in various places. He definitely seemed more comfortable. Kinda curious to see what he could do with the 1s...

Are you fuging nuts? Derek Anderson sucks. The guys he was playing against will be looking for a new job come morning.

He was playing with our 1.5s/2s/3s, and he was playing against their 1.5s/2s/3s.

He did well, and he certainly looked better than any of our QBs have this preseason, but it is just preseason.

A probowler sucks - yeah - right-

anyone with half a clue to the game could see Anderson is ready to lead this team now, whereas the 2 and 3 guys arent even close to having his poise - apparently the teams management is willing to let the fans suffer through another abysmal season so we can hope for the future. sorry but Im done hoping for the future - I want to win now damnit! I aint getting any younger!!!!!

Start Anderson!

A one time Pro Bowler and it was several years ago. He couldn't even snag the staring job in QB desperate AZ with literally no competition.

Cam is the future. DA is here solely as a mentor. Get that thru your head.

Hell you're right! I don't know what I was thinking! They should cut Newton & Clausen, re-sign Delhomme, then let Anderson & Delhomme fight it out in practice for the starting job. Then we'd have two pro-bowlers & be on our way to the Super Bowl! :rolleyes:

Give me a break, Cam Newton already gives us a much better chance to win than Derk Anderson. Is Derek Anderson gonna play o-line, d-line, & cb, too? And who is he gonna throw it to when Olsen & Smith are doubled? Cam Newton will be able to scramble, run, & bulldoze over people. Anderson will be a sitting duck & get sacked, or throw 20+ INT again.

    • And really, it should be 4 reasons with the last one being that there were ZERO other offensive weapons on that team in 2024, opposing defenses only had to worry about one player all year long and they constantly double and triple teamed him right off the snap all season.  In 2023, we still had Jacob Cowing who had 90 catches that year and was drafted by the 49ers last year, so teams couldn't just send everyone after T-Mac on every passing down.
    • I wonder if the Hornets view Kon and McNeeley more as forwards and plan to ship off Green/Okogie/Smith for center help. I hope they don’t plan to ship off Sexton as I like what he brings to the team. (2) G - Ball, Mann, Simpson (two-way) (3) G - Sexton, Dinwiddie, Connaughton (3) F - Miller, Knueppel, McNeeley, James (two-way) (3) F - Bridges, Williams, Salaun (3) C - Diabate, Kalkbrenner, Plumlee
    • 3 main reasons he was better in 2023 and none of them concern me for his NFL prospects 1. Totally new coaching staff that was a massive downgrade and had god awful play calling and designs, the entire fan base was ready to run the coaching staff out of town a month into their first season and the play caller ended up getting changed because it was so bad. 2. Along with the staff downgrade, his QB played significantly worse after being the Pac 12 Freshman of the Year in 2023.  Constantly missed T-Mac when he was wide open, lost out on a number of TDs and a good amount of yardage, half the time T-Mac still almost made miraculous catches on the bad passes too. 3. He hurt his ankle over the summer and missed all of fall camp only to return to practice a few days before the season started and I think he had to deal with it all season long and was slightly limping at times mid season too, but kept fighting through it to still be a 1st team All American.
