Pro Anderson thread

no but putting Furrey next to him will, Cribbs is not a viable receiver.
I think it's more so about Quinn not having any confidence, and having a lot of pressure knowing that with any mistake, he can be benched. DA has nothing to lose so he just airs it out.
i disagree jerky. i don't think it's because he has nothing to lose, he has MILLIONS to lose. he airs it out because that's who he is.
you don't think DA is worried about making mistakes, or about being benched? he's been counted out so much...people consider him such a non-factor they think he got where he is by accident or something, like he has no drive or ambition.
i have never wavered on this board in years in saying i've seen improvement from the guy EVERY year. maybe it wasn't huge strides but he's worked on his game nonetheless and you can see it if you were looking for it. he was only throwing to one side of the field at first. then he cut down on the risks and had less picks (when not playing from behind mind you). then his footwork and touch showed some improvement. personally, i think when he drops back he looks pretty smooth out there. but hey, i'm looking for improvement tweaks, not dwelling on his faults that get beat to death here.
one of my favorite attributes of his is his short memory. i think it was phil simms or rich gannon that said in '07 they felt he had the perfect temperament to play QB. that's a big statement IMO, and for an accomplished QB to say it I listen. he's been yanked from starting multiple times yet i've never heard one person remark they are worried "his confidence might be shattered" etc. it's always downplayed that he has nothing to lose, like BJ said. i never worry if he'll bounce back. he's 2,000 miles from home with a fanbase out here the size of a hot dog line at the stadium and he still holds his head high. that's unflappable confidence. that's the type of a leader that people can feed off of. and his laid back attitude>>>when the going gets tough that's the type of personality that will calm down the huddle in a high pressure situation like the playoffs.
those are my favorite things about the guy. go figure, and i didn't even mention his arm.

Great post. I've seen this kid continue to work on his game as well. Yesterday called for airing it out at all cost, and he did. But for those who watched, DA's short passes were much improved and included a bit of touch on the ball as well.
I hope he starts, after getting all the reps and the game plan drawn around him. It's our only chance of offense we have.
Let's work with this kid, he is light years ahead of Quinn.

I like how BQ boosters are talking about DA falling..... well its was in the 1st quarter 3rd-4 7min 45secs Quinn being pressured in the pocket fell down also.... yet nothing from these guys about that...
Or the first Int from Quinn at 12:25 sec in the first quarter quinn throws an awful pass that leads the ravens in the redzone.....
AFTER a MONTH of Quinn taking the first team reps DA gets thrown into the game against the Ravens..... and actually moves the ball..... making first downs on 3rd downs...
Does he have a penchant for craziness? YES but Daboll does not do him any favors making him nonstop sling the rock when the ravens know it.....
Really what is the difference to a 40 yard bomb that turns into a int versus a dink and dunk that leads to a punt?
from the others teams standpoint they are getting the ball regardless from ours it at least changes the defensive sets to spread the field.
It is up to the play callers to start running the ball at that point and calling screens, and short slant routes....
DA needs to be leashed by good offensive play calling and planning plain and simple.... BUT AT LEAST HE NEEDS TO BE LEASHED.... quinn is like the poodle that you just let out because no one cares if he tries to bite you.
-
You know I was really hoping for something after the first half.......but I have to say Stan, DA didn't do anything except hammer in 3 remaining nails into our coffin. He needs to go......bring in Harrison. Sorry.
I also think whoever the QB is.....we have alot more serious problems.

Man you Retards sure have some stones.
Let's promote the guy who just threw 3 interceptions and nearly another 2 in about 12 throws.
That's a nearly 50% interception rate, that'll win us some games!
Yeehaw!
Fvck that, bring on Ratliff... can't be any worse really.

i'm not trying to hijack this thread, but rather just pointing out the obvious. neither one of these guys will be wearing orange and brown after this or next season. neither one is the answer and neither one will ever be relevant in the nfl. we will either get a qb this draft or next. personally, i would like to see us get defense this off season and then try to get some offense after next year. it hurts me to say this, but we aren't going to get a sniff of .500 until 2011.
-
Look.....
I think at this point it doesn't matter who the QB is. Put in Brady.....put in Manning......i'm not sure our team would win games. So to put this on Quinn and Anderson is either here nor there.
We need to start breaking this offense down and finding the root cancers......is our Oline perfect. No.....how can we make it better. Cribbs as a WR...not going so well......how about the hole in TE since Winslow left.......it's there........etc.etc. This doesn't even cover how crappy some of our defensive players are.
-
The offense starts with the play calling. We are losing even before we start the play and that needs to change.

@jadbf said:
I picked this thread because It was one of the few I could barely get through reading.At this point, I'd freaking alternate every other game with who starts. If your not winning and playing well by half time. the other guy goes in after the half. If the guy plays the 2nd half well, he earns the start for the next week.
I'd tell them, "until one of you figures out how to be a god damn QB, your both on a very short leash, go out and god damn do something."
So I'd start Quinn this week in Cincy, and if he's not producing, heck even after two full series, go back to Anderson.
I'm tired of both of them.
Not a bad idea. Make them prove they deserve it.

Does it really matter? We've been reduced to a guy with a 'fantastic' arm and 1st. round pick who's forgotten how play football. Peyton Manning wouldn't survive this season as our qb without looking like a bust.

God damn zombo, you're going senile.

I cannot bear to watch the steaming pile of crap DA throws out onto the field anymore.. Does he have ANY clue of how not to stare down his recievers or throw into the teeth of triple coverage? Baltimore was only rushing 3 guys cuz they had such a lead and he still threw the ball right to the defenders. DA is horrible. Ratliff or Quinn are the only way to go at this point.. not that either of them are going to be able to turn this disaster around.
Sorry I posted on your DA rah rah board... But this makes Zero sense to me. They guy is making exactly the same mistakes he made last year..he has learned nothing, changed nothing.. his is exactly who he was last year.. 3 picks in a half..which should have been 4 or 5...He cannot even stand on his own 2 feet in the pocket without tripping over his clown shoes. No thanks.

Anderson has no upside, alot of downside, and needs to be taken outside and given a swift kick in the backside.

Are you kidding?
That was a stupid comment. Anderson made bad passes but, really, to have any chance at getting back into the game he had to try to force the issue by making vertical passes. What's the difference if you lose by 24 or 50? Taking what the offense gives you at the point of the second and third pick would only act to pad your stats.
That said, Brody freakin' Coyle put up a 118 passer rating against this same defense and a real QB (Rivers) lit them up for 440 yards.
I see no future in a guy who can't make the throws, though. And that looks to be Quinn. Save $11 million and invest it in the scouting department. This team is going to have the benefit of some high picks.
