  • It sounds so familiar that I already know their season is going to be a disaster at QB without having to watch it unfold every Sunday.

    The fan division on the 2 QBs looks similar to us over the last several years and man im glad we dont have that problem anymore..

    Yup we have been there and are done with that, however it never ceases to amaze me how coaches become intoxicated and enthralled with a rifle arm and see nothing else believing they can mold them and harness the power..the cards do have some nice targets though and maybe DA has finally found a place to rack his rifle...MUHAAHHAHAHAHA!

  • It is probable that DA has won the starting job in AZ, and that Leinert will be traded....possibly to the Bills, Raiders, or Giants. That what was said on the radio this morning by Schefter.

  • ESPN reporting Leinart could be traded as soon as this weekend......

    Anderson gets yet another opportunity to dispel the common belief that he is a nonhacker and should not be playing in the sunday league

    ESPN did not speculate in the report I heard..However, Gipper posted above some teams that will prob be in the mix

  • Zombo wins!!!! At least it seems that way to me!

    So Anderson is in and maybe Lienart is out. This is a great thing to see. I watched that Monday night game a couple of weeks ago and Anderson threw some very nice passes down the field. We know that Anderson can win. We saw it first hand here with a supporting cast that was much worse then what he has in Arizona. And the Cards are trying to do what we didn't and avoid a QB controversy by trading Lienart.

    I hope Anderson has a great season in Arizona!

    Problem is, Leinert has let it be known through Glazer that he doesn't want to go anywhere to be a backup. He wants to start. But if Derick "Fricken" Anderson can beat him out, I doubt anyone will immediately install him as a starter.

    Also Leinert has a prohibitive contract. Any trade would likely require a contract restructuring.

    My guess, the Cardinals cut him on Saturday.

  • Anderception has looked pretty crisp at times and he has some very legit targets to get the ball to thats for sure, but lets see what happens when fitzy gets hurt from getting nailed going up for the ball..i dont think to many question that DA has an nfl arm but he does not own some of the most basic and necessary tools in the set..not a problem though whizz and crew can lend them to him..Muhahahahaha!

  • i'm sure he'll play just as poorly and create a QB shitstorm in AZ too. I'm just glad we don't have to put up with him and the shit he brings to a team for another year.

  • Did DA look any better this preseason than he did last? I think he's eventually going to pass his way onto the bench. Remember this was a guy who couldn't muster a 50 passer rating last year. I think this speaks to how poor of a pro QB Matt Leinart really is. He has had an attitude problem the whole time and he thinks he's proven something.

    agreed. how soon before da hangs one of his receivers out to dry lol?

    i can see da now, just throwing the ball carelessly to fitz in triple/quadruple coverage on a regular.

    Beanie Wells and Tim Hightower just became fantasy STUDS

    They will definitely have more value with Anderson at least trying to stretch the field instead of Captain Checkdown running the show.

    Well, we all won when we shipped them both out and started over with Jake, Seneca and Colt.

    But somewhere I see Shep slowly floating away on a raft crying "...But I was right about Aaron Rodgers!" Aaron Rodgers is good, and I told everybody he was going to be good ... I am still a quarterback guuuruuuu .... boooohhhoooohoooo .... I'm still a guuuuruuuu!"

    Zombo

    --Give Anderson this: He may not be great, you may even think he sucks, but he's good at exposing prettyboy wannabees who don't really belong in the NFL ... and chasing away posters who don't really belong on the BrownsBoard.

    When Andersons playing days are over, we are going to make him a moderator here. No one exposes posers better than this guy.

    I'd say the odds of a trade are lower than just being cut outright. If one of these teams wants Leinart, they're gonna have to pony up something to the Cardinals, then fight Leinart over that 10-12 mil he's due next year. Let him get cut, then his agent will come begging to those three teams or any others that may be interested. I see a huge paycut ahead.

  • It will be a bad idea for them to cut Leinart unless and until they find a steady QB who can progress the ball. No offense to DA , but teams know how to pressurize him and he aint a consistent success. When DA starts throwing interceptions over there atleast Leinart knows enough of the offense to ensure that the Cardinals keep possession of the ball.

    Just to put a nail in this coffin:

    Espn seems pretty confident this morning that A.) Derek Anderson beat out Matt Leinart and is now the starting QB for a playoff contender. and B.) Tim Tebow has beaten out Brady Quinn (sacked 7 times in preseason and just one TD) for the Broncos backup job.

    Anderson starting for a team that was in the playoffs last year, Quinn in danger of being cut from a bad Denver team.

    Now, I am thrilled we blew up the position and are moving on with Jake, Seneca and Colt ... there is much more professionalism and certainty about the position this year, and I have always been a Delhomme fan.

    But I just want to say one last time to the relentless Quinn Fags (reading as guests) who railed on me and railed on me for two years because I had the gall to think the team had a better chance to win with Anderson at the controls while they thought Brady was big and fast and smart and accurate and mobile and a born leader and a wonderlik ace and just "never got a chance" by these idiots running an NFL franchise ... Blow Me.

    Anderson is maddingly inconsistent but his teammates rally around him and he can move the ball straight down the center of the field, NFL coaches don't give a shit about wonderliks and QB ratings ... they want first downs and points!

    Quinn is the NFL version of a stillborn. He was just a dud. He did nothing. It was obvious to me early on, and it never changed.

    I WANTED Quinn to succeed. I am a Notre Dame fan. An Irish Catholic like Quinn. A Browns fan from childhood like Quinn. I REALLY wanted him to suceed.

    But in the end, I want what's best for my Browns, and the last three years that was Anderson. He was the best option we had back there on what was a bad team.

    So I stood up for him, as did a few others. By all accounts he is a good guy, a regular guy, a good teammate and he always gave his all for the Browns.

    I hope he does well in Arizona.

    OK, I'm done.

    But what I REALLY want is for Jake to light up the Bucs and let's get this party started ... we've waited ten years for the Browns to come back ... I think we are finally on to something. The team seems crisp and professional, the receivers seem more confident, I think we have the best coaching staff and franchise structure that we've ever had, we've finally built an offense around a young bad-ass line and the defense seems to be finally progressing in Mangini's system.

    Let's kick some ass.

    Zombo

    Actually Zombo, instead of putting a nail in the coffin you may have used the claw end of a crowbar to open it up and now the Zombie..your kissing cousin, may out among the populace looking for live meat to consume.

    Which kinda makes you....Michael Jackson!

    But Anderson is not a Rock Star. His abs don't look like a washboard, and he is not from Califagna.

  • Good God let this die; who gives a shit at this point. I wish them both the best; however, I really only care about our Browns from a football perspective

    GO BROWNS!!!!!
