Quarterback: Derek Anderson, Browns
If the Browns part ways with general manager Phil Savage, his handling of Cleveland's quarterback situation will be a contributing factor. Anderson entered the off season as a restricted free agent with considerable trade value following a 29-touchdown effort in 2007. Savage instead decided to keep Brady Quinn on the bench and re-sign Anderson to a three-year contract extension that paid him $8 million for this season. Big, big mistake. Anderson had completed just 50.2 percent of his passes and lost his starting job to Quinn before landing on injured reserve with a knee injury. The Browns are expected to trade Anderson during the off-season but won't receive anywhere near the same compensation were he dealt earlier. -- Alex Marvez
I'm not sure DA deserves to top the list, but most agree this decision didn't work out.
The most troubling part of this story is headlines like this further decrease his marketability.
Big, big mistake. Anderson had completed just 50.2 percent of his passes
Wait til this "Alex Marvez" fella discovers Quinn's 49.5% completion rate.

Brady Quinn's debut was the best in Browns' history (pass rating over 100) against a playoff team (Broncos).Quinn had TD passes on two of his first four drives.
It took the NFL all of one half to figure out his limitations.
Now Quinn is on a streak of 25 offensive possessions without a TD pass.

Meh.
Quinn is the starter and DA has gone back to pre-Browns NFL status.
I still wish him well. He seems like a good guy.
By the way, is Minnesota out as a landing spot for DA after yesterday's Viking game? TJ looking good enough to give him a strong look in the off season.

Lumtowsky will still stick around here occasionally to remind us how bad he hates Queen. Don't believe he'll just disappear into the Chiefs kingdom for good.

With all seriousness, his name has come up in Seattle. I hope the new coach out there saw DA on one of his good days.

Would love to see him in Seattle. If I were him, that's exactly where I'd want to land.

I'd take a #2 from Seattle for him. That would be like a #1 since they will be drafting near the top. Maybe they will take Winslow and Shaffer also.

Whats even more interesting was I think Mike McCarthy was His (DA's) coach at Oregon and If He really felt DA was NFL Material dont You (Lummy Dummy) Think He wouldve gone out of his way to get Him instead of Aaron Rodgers?

Absolutely not.
McCarthy and DA have it worked out where DA was going to throw in the towel this season so he could come to Green Bay so Lummy could be the official sideline crotch warmer.

Mike McCarthy?
Anderson didn't go to "Oregon" and McCarthy's last college job was at Pitt in 1992.
You may be confusing McCarthy with the O-coordinator for Wisconsin, Paul Chryst, who was at Oregon State under Dennis Erickson.
