That being said, he mentioned in his interview that he looked forward to getting back at the Browns with whomever he signed with, and he certainly can’t do that on the bench. It sounds to me like he is only going to be interested in signing on with a team that at least promises him open competition for the starting job. I just don’t think that Carolina can give him that promise. With the release of Jake, it seems as though they’re pretty committed to Matt Moore this year. The only teams that come to mind in being able to give him that opportunity are the Seahawks and Cardinals who have two very questionable starting QB’s. It also just so happens that these are the two teams that Derek Anderson is visiting with first. So as much as I’d like to see him sign on for the back-up role, I’d be pretty surprised if that happened. Let’s not forget that the Panthers still have fresh memories of another underachieving QB that they felt had some promise whom they signed on as a back-up…(David Carr).

I am personally not a fan of Anderson. I think he had one good year and has been pretty bad since then. I don’t know if this a move the Panthers make with the intent of making Matt Moore the starter simply because I think they are going to want someone who is a little more steady as the backup.

I don’t know if I am sold on Anderson anyway, but if the Panthers want a competition to see Moore can do, they may bring him in.

DA is a one trick pony, has unbelievable arm strength and can put the ball downfield with the best QB’s in this league… Just dont ask him to throw a 5 yard out, or a 10 yard out, or a slant, or a screen pass, or any other route that involves any sort of touch. O and dont ask him to make multiple reads, because he cant, when he tries to look off, its obvious to me watching at home that he is doing it, just doesnt have the make up to be a successful QB.

His success in 2007 was predicated on 2 things, career years from Winslow and Edwards, and defenses not schemeing for his deep ball. The second half of 2007, specifically the Cincy game to make the playoffs (4 ints against at the time the worst passing defense in teh entire NFL) is when defenses just started dropping their safeties and took away the deep routes down the sidelines. But, because Anderson panics if his first read is double teamed, he does 1 of two things, throws it anyway… or takes too long to get to his second read and throws the check down too hard and with no accuracy.

Arm strength isnt something you can teach, granted, and I hate everything about him after the comments he made, but I figured you deserved an honest assessment of what he is, based on the last few years I have suffered through his shit. The potential is there, just needs alot of work, if you have the right ppl in place maybe someone can teach him how to throw a 5 yard out.

Sincerely,

An over joyed Browns fan

to many other places that he can go and start, even if we wanted to bring him in i dont think he would come here to be a back up when he has a chance of being the starter somewhere like AZ…just my opinion

There must be 20 now that we’ve gotten all hot about signing — Kampman, Marshall, Boldin, Witherspoon, Randle El, Bryant, Burleson, Jason Campbell, Bryant, Culpepper, Dansby, Ellis, Holt, Vincent Jackson, Pennington, Sproles, Van Den Bosch, and Kevi Walter. (well, 18, anyway)

Those are just the guys I can remember that had discussion.

And so far, the Panthers have only signed 2 guys that nobody here even considered.

Isn’t it clear the Panthers aren’t interested in going after ANYBODY that’s going to cost more than a million a year? We might as well save our excitement for something when it actually HAPPENS — if it ever does.

If anyone watched him in college, you know he’s accurate.

I’d choose McCown over Anderson.. McCown can throw a dart into a small window, Anderson lobs up the long ball up for grabs

Neither of those QBs will be any good though

From what i’ve seen, Sam Bradford, Jimmy Clausen and Tony Pike are the only QBs in the draft that are NFL ready

Colt Mccoy cant throw a long a long ball to save his life, and Tim Tebow should be a Tight end

D. Anderson would be nice but I keep having this feeling that we are going to pick up Boller which really is comparable to Anderson except Anderson has been to a pro bowl. Now way I want Losman, McCown, Batch, on this team and we are not going to draft a QB high either.

D. Anderson would be great backup and would push matt moore in camp unlike Boller who Fox has wanted for years and I have no idea why.

Just wait and see b/c we will end up with Boller yet, I have said this many times on the Blog.

Fox has wanted Boller forever especially since we played against them when Boller first came into the league. However Boller sucks .
