Cam Newton is going to be the Carolina Panthers’ starter at quarterback as long as he is physically able. The team may want to make a change who his primary backup is, though.

At the moment the QB2 job belongs to Derek Anderson, who struggled last season when he was called on to play in place of Newton. Anderson’s issues continued through the offseason, and he had a rough training camp.

Through two preseason games, things don’t seem to be getting any better for Anderson, who used to be considered one of the NFL’s top backups. In last week’s game against the Tennessee Titans, Anderson completed just 7-of-12 passes for 88 yards and threw an interception. His passer rating for the day was a dismal 46.5. Meanwhile, third-string QB Joe Webb had a strong game, posting an impressive average of 11.2 yards per attempt and an almost-perfect 152.8 passer rating.

Webb is also thriving under pressure, according to Pro Football Focus. Apparently, he has the second-highest passer rating when under pressure this preseason, bested only by Carson Wentz of the Philadelphia Eagles:

Webb is a valuable special teams ace, but having a reliable backup QB is ultimately more important.

If Anderson keeps struggling and Webb continues balling out in the preseason, coach Ron Rivera should at least consider the possibility of moving Webb up one spot on the depth chart and demoting Anderson.
