Flipside of G'man's Faith in Cam = Derek Anderson is gone. Definitely.

[Jase]

Look at it from a GM's perspective.  We've been paying a $$ premium for a backup QB with a good amount of starting experience.

 

Cam has not only proven himself to be the guy long term, but he has also proven that he can be durable despite his style of play.

 

I fully expect DG to draft a project QB or rummage around the bargain bin for a cheaper alternative. (or both)

 

Bye bye DA. It's been fun.

[chknwing]

yeah but since our goal is the Superbowl, you dont risk not having a quality qb.

[Creepster]

Yeah

 

Jimmy is still on our team

[Jackofalltrades]

How much is DA costing us?

I doubt it's very much.

[CRA]

Cam is used like a FB and doesn't wear a mouth piece.

We need to pay a backup vet QB that can handle starting a couple games

$840,000

We aren't letting go of DA man. He's one of the best backups in the league

[The_Mango55]

I don't know how much Anderson's salary is but the only "faith in cam" that would change gman's mind on how much to pay a backup QB is is faith in cam's ability to stay healthy. People still want good backup qbs even if their starter is great, and Anderson wasnt gonna be competing for the starting job no matter what Cam did this year.

[Blackmagic]

DA becomes cheaper every year he doesn't play meaningful minutes. 

When I listen to Gross podcast, it seems that DA is important player for the group and he's a sounding board for Cam. He's better than most backups, I would pay a little more for a good backup, and he likes it here.

[Creepster]

We have Pickles damnit!

[Fan01]

DA isn't costing that much.  A little over a million I think. And many people don't know that he's been a wonderful mentor for game.  DA is a quality backup and he helps the team and Cam in a lot more ways than as a saftey valve if Cam hurts his pinky.  We don't need a young buck QB.  Cam is only going into his 3rd year and if you have a franchise QB locked up you don't go looking for his replacement.

Derek Anderson is playing for the veteran minimum. Is pay is based on years accrued but his cap hit is the uniform 500 and change.

[Jase]

You can cut that number in half by having a mid-round rookie instead.

This. Derek isn't costing us anything.
