Derek Anderson Blasts YOU
-
Qbs that whine and lash out at fans like DA did ruins there chance to again in the league. No team is going to want that; it show immaturity, lack of disicipline, and someone who cann't take the pressure of the fans; cann't take the pressure of a 300lb def lineman chasing his sorry ass around the field.
-
conversely, you think any QB's wanna play here knowing they'll get booed when they go down? you think the respect for the cleveland fanbase exists outside of said fanbase?
this is like 2 children fighting over the best toy in the sandbox. in the end, their both whinging and crying.
-
Doesn't surprise me. This whole season he seemed to have a prick-like attitude to him. He can go f**k himself and his petty-bullshit attitude. Freakin loser. Get the hell away from my beloved Browns.

have you seen the clip of philly fans throwing ice and snowballs at SANTA!!! Thats classless.

I look forward to his return to Cleveland, he's a marked man now.
I'm pretty sure that the players know it will buy them Franchise like credibility with the fans if they are the one to knock him out of the game.
-
A blast about us fans not deserving of a winner, is a blast towards the players in our locker room; in my opinion.
-
I was at the SD game in Cleveland when it was about 2 degrees out. Moved down from the nose bleeds and sat at the fifty yard line about 100 ft behind the Browns bench. The entire second half DA sat on the end of the Gatorade cart and spat into a garbage can every 20 seconds, looking off past the scoreboard with a blank faint stare.
My buddy looked over at me (After working all day...outside in the snow.... at a steel yard) and said.... "Where can I get a gig like that and make that kind of money..."
Anyway you slice it, most of these guys are whiney, spoiled morons. Alot of us fans (especially in our area) work at jobs that there is a chance of being disfigured and/or killed on a daily bais, (one of my good friends was hit by a steel beam that fell from a crane and now sits in a wheelchair for the rest of his lfe) and this dude wants to complain about being booed at his job...
Sorry about your luck DA.... sucks that you've been blessed enough to play football for a living.... is there anything else we can do for you?
-
Just heard on the mike and mike show that DA says he's SORRY! LOL
-
Is he allowed to be mad? Yeah.
Does he have a right to be mad? Yeah.
Should the Browns have made better decisions in personnel/FO during DA's tenure? Yeah.
Was the fans cheering his injury classless? Yeah.
Was the fans cheering the majority opinion? NO.
But seriously, lashing out at the fans is pretty foolish. He had one decent season (4 total with the Browns) with a bad second half and a terrible, playoff blowing, performance and he still got a 3 year extension. DA is a professional football player (well, on paper anyway), and professional athletes live in a glass house. They're also expected to have a higher quality of character than other people, which is why they're so heavily scrutinized when they do something stupid (see Ben Roethlisberger, Tiger Woods).
Cleveland fans ARE ruthless. Why? Because we've had way too many freaking losers on our teams and we don't really have much tolerance for it anymore. TBH, DA's words only confirm that Holmgren made the RIGHT choice. To say we don't deserve a winner? That's just classless and brash. He should have just given the standard answer and taken his licks and signed with a new team. I'll be amazed if he gets a starting job after saying dumb crap like that. He wasn't that good to begin with.
You know what is great about Cleveland fans? If you win, we'll come to every game, give you a key to the city, bake you cookies, and throw you a freaking parade every day for a month. Yeah we come to games even when the teams stink, and Browns tickets sell like crazy even now, but in December when the team has quit playing, who wants to come to that crap? But if they're winning, you can bet that place will be packed out whether it's Lake Effect snow or not.
Great moves Holmgren & co. It's nice to finally see some real leadership in the front office.

yeah is agent gave him that statement so he can still get a job.

DEREK HAS A RIGHT TO BE MAD. I love the Browns and am as loyal of a fan as there is, but you don't cheer the guy for getting injured, especially after he gave you the best season in over a decade. Browns have wonderful fans, and we also have A LOT of white trash hillbillies who don't know squat about the game that love to just act like a drunken fool in the stands on Sundays.
Everyone always talks about our great, loyal fan base, but we are not good fans as a whole. Same with the Cavs and Indians, when we are winning we love our team and fill the seats, but when we lose, we don't give a crap. The tribe may not sell out a HOME OPENER and if Lebron leaves Cleveland the Cavs would go under!
Cleveland sticks with their teams and never roots for a new squad, I will give them that, but we have way to many rude drunks representing US, THE GOOD FANS. I would venture to say that a majority of people on this board can be respected, coming to a forum like this to discuss detailed football topics. YOU GUYS KNOW WHO I AM TALKING ABOUT, and whether you want to admit it or not, you know that our fans are not what we make them out to be.
I was ashamed to be a Browns fan when we cheered D.A. getting hurt. That's something Philly would do.
Remember the Cincy coach yelling at his fans, this isn't Cleveland -- he had a point.
Bottlegate, as well.
I am just sick to my stomach again, remembering how terrible we really are.

this is true, but sadly happens everywhere in the league really with few exceptions. There's always good fans enjoying the game, and likewise there's drunken idiots ruining it for everyone. I honestly feel we were more cheering for another QB to come in than DA getting hurt, but it still wasn't called for at all. He may of had a point, but if it weren't for Cleveland he wouldn't of had a job in this league or made millions of dollars. He had to see his release coming sooner than later.

Sounds all well and good for a movie, but the fact is, that team respects the hell out of him. Remember he was voted their MVP in 2007. Granted, their will be about a 99% roster turnover from 2007 but again, he didn't bash the team, he bashed the clueless fans that cheered his injury.

Haha right after Stan praises DA, DA shits on all Browns fans!!!
DA is a looser, and a disease... thank God he is off our football team
Now we can put BQ in the cockpit with no distractions and win some games
Haha right after Stan praises DA, DA shits on all Browns fans!!!
Well I personally don't care about DA.
I hoped for the best when he was here but I don't miss him now.
But
He's right.
If you cheer an injury to one of your players you're an asshole.
I doubt it's much different anywhere he'll go but that's the fact.

Yeah maybe, some of those players are sick mofo's.
Anyway I don't see him being a starter in this league ever again,
In training camp the guy looks like a stud, come game time he's a dud.

It sounds like this town still has the wrong perspective on this QB thing. Like it or not, DA gave us the best offensive season we have seen in a long time. And he is still, the best QB we've had since coming back. I know its all relative but he deserves a little credit. He didn't write up his contract and he didn't lead the league in drops or missed games due to injury. He also didn't give up on routes leaving passes up for grabs.
The fact is, we have had two QBs playing here for the last 3 years in a no-win situation. I think DA supporters (myself included) know that out of the two QBs, DA had a much higher upside. I've asked it before but nobody has ever answered it. Which one of these two guys would you want on their best day? On their worst days, we lose nomatter what. What about their best day? It's DA by a landslide. It's not a love fest, it's logic.
I hope Quinn does well for our sake but I defy anyone to tell me what he has ever shown in college or the pros that says he can play in this league. And I still believe he will be dealt before draft day.
-
I love the Browns and I think we have some of the best fans in the world, but it did make me cringe hearing people boo DA when he got hurt. I am all for booing for bad performances, but booing your own players when they get injured is classless regardless of how they are performing. That being said, DA was a pariah from the time BQ was signed to fans, he f*cked up everyone's plans of BQ coming in on a white horse and being the Browns savior when he had that amazing '07 season. He saw BQ get all of this love and quite frankly slack from fans when BQ played horribly and then DA would come in, throw and incompletion and get booed. All this being said, I am not crying in my soup that he is gone. I don't think he or we as an organization have the time that it is going to take to get DA's head right and develop him into a good QB. I get his hard feelings and I look forward to the Browns playing the team he lands on (rivalry games are always fun). Assuming he isn't holding a clipboard on the sidelines that is. Remember to stand behind the white line on the sidelines derek. That shit with the ref last year was embarrassing.
-
I still think he is an ass.
I FULLY AGREE that you don't cheer injured players. It's classless.
On the other hand, if you're a professional athlete who holds grudges against fans then you're too thin-skinned. You can be angry at the fans who booed you all that you want but coming out and making a blanket statement blasting the fan base is not the professional way to approach it.
This is the move of a 12 year old.
DA isn't any better at public relations than he was at quarterbacking.
-
If I was DA, I'd blast Browns fans too. Cheering when he's injured? Completely classless. You wonder why the Browns' are a complete joke? It's crap like this. I love Cleveland sports, but that city has some of the most myopic fans in sports. Get some perspective and realize that it's just football. Did DA deserve to get cut? Yeah, he did. No one deserves to have an entire city cheer for you to get hurt though. Browns fans need to grow up.
On a side, but related note, it seems like Big Ben's latest issues are the best thing going for Browns' fans right now. I've never seen a city actually wishing that someone was raped so they could smear a rival with it. Are you serious? I'm embarrassed to call myself a Browns fan and get lumped in with these mouthbreathers.

I couldn't agree more. DA has to show more intelligence when dealing with the media and try to control his emotions when speaking to the media. Part of the sports star gig revolves in how you handle yourself after the game when you are being interviewed and situations such as getting cut. I understand he's disappointed and he feels like we didn't support him the way we should've. Hell, perhaps he was right in some cases but the bottom line is he didn't perform to the level of his contract. If he did, Mr. Anderson would be our starting QB for 2010.
The guy is a clueless , somewhat talented big-armed goof. One of those borderline talents with a big attribute(his amazing arm) that was able to catch the league sleeping for a little over half a season.
Quinn may not be the answer (i don't think he is) but one thing i can safely say is, i'm 100% certain DA wasn't either.

Careful there Metcalf. Your speaking the truth. You could get banned for that here. It doesn't matter how big a browns fan you are, never speak negative . Drink the kool-aid and pretend. The admins around here don't take kindly to negative remarks about the browns no matter how true. Heck, I finally signed up to post this warning after lurking here for a long time and I'll probably get banned for saying this. Sad

and if your gonna post a warning, at least get the shit right. apparently, you dont know anything about the mods here.
seriously, what an unworthwhile first post. if that was the best you had to offer maybe you're better off in the shadows lurking again.
if your post is in any danger of censorship it would be for the whining, not for anti-Browns rhetoric. i'll never be accused of NOT speaking my mind here, pro or con, and i've never been banned once.
Browns fans rarely get banned here for what they say but rather how they say it.
it's just the man-slobbering and whining that seems to bother Big Brother. avoid that and all should be well.
