Is the James Anderson project over soon?

[WilkinsonDonnie]

I don't really know too much about him, and never really saw him play except in limited pre-season work. The Panthers took him in the third round in 2006 as a weak side (Will) linebacker out of Virginia Tech. We could really use someone young to step into the strong side position that is held by Diggs.

Why hasn't this kid been used more there? Has anyone seen him play, and does he look like he may of been a bust, or has he progressed throughout the years here. Anyone with any kind of information as to how he has done so far and does it look are done developing him so far would be appreciated long time huddle fans. He looked like a solid prospect out of college with pretty good speed and strength.

Yeah, he was a damned fine player in college and a damned fine one for us last year late in the season in admitted limited access. I think he's ready to excel, he's certainly not a throwaway...

[bLACKpANTHER]

hes quality special teams material, but hardly a quality backup at any LB position.. as far as his label, being picked in the 3rd with so many other options on the board that year- yeah, hes a bust.. but no throwaway

I just want to say, I did laugh at this...

"just like Peppers, 60% of the time it works every time "

[WilkinsonDonnie]

The only other LB option I would've rather had in the third would be Freddie Keiaho. Looked like there were alot of busts taken in rd 3 and later.

p much

[WilkinsonDonnie]

Nate Salley wasn't a much of a good pick in the 4th either that year.

i wouldnt count anyone out with our new DC

[Peppers90 NC]

He definitely is fast and I have noticed him in passing situations some. He also did not suit up every game either last year. It will be hard for him to see a bunch of playing time as long as Davis is healthy, and even if he got hurt, not sure if Anderson would come in before Johnson either. Does anyone remember if it was weak or strong side where Connor was working out last year? If Connor was working weak side, then the Anderson era may be very limited, I hope he sticks around personally.

[WilkinsonDonnie]

I just think we would be better suited giving someone playing time who can actually develop under it more. Diggs is past peaked and didn't Johnson's last year at Cinci he played MLB? I wish I would know more about Connor at one of the OLB positions, its time to find our starter of the future at SAM.

Last year during cuts, a lot of emphasis was put on ST, where he was needed. With so much young talent in camp this year, they may look to start devoloping some new guys. If thats the case, Anderson has to be one of the ones on the bubble.

diggs hasn't exactly peaked, he certainly doesn't have fresh legs but he's having a bit of a resurgance here in carolina, until somebody can unseat him he should be the starter

[Proudiddy]

If I remember correctly, our starter was injured his rookie season I believe towards the end of the season, and he had a very good game against New Orleans. He had a 1 or 2 sacks and got a lot of pressure on the QB. I've always liked what I've seen from him, but I think despite his strength and speed, he may have problems on non-passing downs... That's the only thing I can figure as to why he doesn't get on the field.

[WilkinsonDonnie]

I give him one more year, and sure Diggs did better here than GB but as I said before he is past his peak, results speak for themselves.
