Sooo.... Derek Anderson?

The Browns Board

  • Another factor to consider:

    Chudinski isn't necessarily going to have the say so over the composition of his own roster.

    Right now, Joe Banner has the primary say there. And whomever they bring in to be Personnel Director will have his/her(?) say. And maybe they will all have different ideas on what direction the QB position will take with this team.

    Right now it looks good for BW3....and maybe even DA, because those are the types of QBs it seems he wants to employ. But there is no guarantee.

    Maybe he has become enamored with the capabilities of Cam Newton and his running abilities and will want to duplicate that here.

    Maybe Michael Vick WILL BE an option for him.

    Bullshit scenario? Somewhat. But not beyond the realm of possibility.

  • Very good point. I can't disagree with that...except you have forgotten one factor: without Chud there as his champion, Ron Rivera might just be willing to say Sayonara to DA as his backup. There goes his million bucks and his Club Med. Such is thing is possible, plausible,maybe even probable.

    Yeah maybe Carolina takes somebody like Matt Moore over DA. But probably not, and Moore will probably get a chance to start somewhere anyway. Profootballfocus.com has DA as the #3 free agent QB after Joe Flacco and Matt Moore.

    And here's a Carolina thread on DA heading to Cleveland. http://www.carolinahuddle.com/boards/topic/82889-derek-anderson-wants-to-go-back-to-cleveland/

    Funny. I wonder how many times they can make fun of Weeden's age? That joke got old in April when we drafted him. I guess not every team is lucky enough to suck so bad they can get the #1 overall pick to get Cam Newton.

  • What I remember most about DA is incomplete passes to the RB in the flat, overthrowing WRs by a mile on simple short routes, and interceptions. Just because the guy can hurl the pigskin a quarter mile like Uncle Rico, does not mean that he is a NFL caliber quarterback.

    wrong. This is what you remember the most.

    Good story. Here's another one.

    52.8% completion 53 TD 55 INT and a rating of 64.02.

    And? Stats are like bikinis....

    Still better than anyone else we've had...which also doesnt matter.

    Hes got problems....like every other QB. What would you suggest? Keep that guy that tosses wobblers and worm burners? Some success >> no success.

    So you'd rather sign a 30 year old big-armed, questionably intelligent, immobile QB who's had 8 years in the league to prove his worth than keep the 30 year old big-armed, questionably intelligent, immobile QB who's had one year in the league to prove his worth.

    Forget the fact that it would be a PR disaster, forget that he probably wouldn't want to come back, forget that it would cost the team more money that they won't want to spend. Let's bring DA back because you wanted us to get RG3 and we didn't and you don't like Weeden boo boo hee boo.

    You don't have to agree with it, but Anderson is garbage. And this is coming from the guy who was on the And-wagon. We've seen all we're going to see out of him and there's a guy on the roster with the exact same attributes but a higher ceiling. If you can't see that, you're blind, stubborn, or stupid.

  • I think that the funniest part is that even if DA comes back, his jersey that everyone bought will still be useless since he won't be able to get back the #3.

    Actually...I agree. He's garbage for the most part....but still more experienced and better tools fit for the offense than colt. DA at least has had success in this offense.

    I have no concern for his ill-advised comments after another epic showing of classlessness from the fan base. Could care less. Yet, that's the source of disdain from most.

  • DA had a nice deep threat connection with braylon(16td year?), well now we have Gordon who's ceiling is way higher. Making him obviously, a back up to Weeden

    I thought you were arguing for Anderson to supplant Weeden as the starting QB.

    I can see Anderson in a backup role, but even then I highly doubt he'll return to Cleveland. It just wouldn't be wise for all parties involved.

  • Lumbergh is back! 😁

  • @mike-h said:

    And, you guys are idiots for arguing with him. Whether its DieHard, TCPO, Choco, Z, or whoever, this douche bag is just here to troll.

    Leave it alone, we all know DA is a worthless QB and a short-tempered village idiot, much like Lumbergh.

    Well, isn't it DA himself that said "Cleveland fans don't deserve a winner"?

    Well, perhaps he was merely being prophetic. If the Browns bring him back we won't have a winner..and he can be happy about it.

    (Just pointing out the irony of it all)

    wow. sounds a lot like weeden to me.

    yeah many a QB since coming back in '99 have hated on the browns fans at the games....for good reason.

    tim couch probably woulda been a pro bowl QB if not getting drafted by the browns yet with no OL, RBs or WRs the fans cheered him when down and hurt. same with DA.

    laugh all you want and cheer when they're down....i guarantee half of you here will be doing the same in 1-2 years with weeden....if you haven't driven him out of town by then.

    Tell you one thing Mik- Weeden has already shown more ability to put touch on his passes than DA ever did. Do I have my doubts Weeden is the real deal? Sure. We've seen what Russell Wilson did. Let's see what BW III can do with a real coach and offense that isn't Pop Warner first before we shit-can him.

    Dan is right- Anderson's swing passes to his backs looked like they were shot out of a cannon, ZERO touch. Behind, ahead, 5' over the guys head. I've said it before in this thread in addition to that flaw, The guy couldn't effectively check down to save his life. LOL, teams dare McCoy to beat them deep. Teams dared Anderson to beat them with short stuff, once defenses learned to take away his deep routes Derek stunk.

  • Lets see first Banner tells Colt that hes in the next coaches plans..... that doesn't sound like a ring endorsement for Weeden.

    It was reported the Chip Kelly doesn't even see his QB on our roster....didn't weeden run a spread offense in college?

    Chud when ask about Weeden didn't say anything along the line of I am looking forward to working with the 2nd year QB, instead he says no comment.

    and out of the blue Derek tweets about coming back to Cleveland.

    If D.A. is coming back it doesn't seem to me its as a back up.

    Right, not the backup. More like 3rd string.

  • Very interesting now that Turner's hiring is official... Anyone remember the 2008 AFC Pro Bowl coach commenting on how well DA already understood the offense and how much potential he had? I think he even had DA helping the other QBs with the offense the week leading into the game. That was Turner.
