It doesn't hurt that the d-line couldn't stop my grandma running. You guys put way too much into stats. It you're gonna go strictly based on pff rankings then Carolina needs to trade Cam Newton for Alex Smith or Matt Moore, they're better.

He's good but not much more. That's all Gantts point is. It's not hate, it is reallity.

I'm pretty sure this article is from 2010 meaning the 2010-11 season, when the defense was much better.

lol I don't see how you guys expect ANY LB to play at a high level, when our defense tackles are getting put into the fuging ground.

And he still isn't a top 5 OLB.

Ummmm who called him a top 5 OLB? He was listed as the 5th best available in FA last year.

By who? WalterFootball.com? those people are idiots

He earned every penny.

That dime-a-dozen player beat Beason's single season tackles record.

I'm not saying Anderson is great, but he's more than "just a guy".

Raw tackle numbers on a D that couldn't stop anyone with scrubs all over the field doesn't mean what some suggest....

Go look at the 100+ tackle guys each year.....plenty of JAGs

Ya'll dudes b**** over the drop of a dime. Damn, Anderson's been our most reliable/consistent LB over the past two years (injuries to Beason, and Davis). He's played all three downs in the absence of starters and held his own with a bunch of rookies/back-ups up front and around him.

Top ten in tackles...I mean what else do you want from your "Sam"...? Be glad we have a solid set of 4-3 LB's. None of us are GM's or know how the cap works/can be manipulated. That's why we pay to watch games, and you know the coaching/team staff get paid to assemble a team and manage the contracts, evaluate talent, and coach the players.

Well Witherspoon was/is better.

One of our worst FA move was letting witherspoon go.

[Rags]

He's not the best cover guy. But he's been a stud for us. He's made plays for us and is a great fugging tackler. I don't know what you guys want from him. I can see how some say he's over paid, but that doesn't say anything about his skill and what he brings to this team.

Gantt also thinks there's still hope for Armanti as a PR...

It was a choice between him and Morgan, hindsight = 20/20.
