What's Derek Anderson doing these days? Chud has a bromance with him.
Is he still in Carolina behind... oh what's his face.. you know... the guy that was supposed to be great.
And actually.. I will take Anderson as well.
How desperate are we that we as Browns fans are asking for Derek Anderson to come back?

It couldn't be any worse I suppose? I do know one thing, I've seen enough of Brandon Weeden! What a wasted pick! At least it isn't this current regime that drafted this guy! You really have to wonder what in the Hell Mike Holmgren was thinking last year? IMO That fat fuck sat here and collected a big payday and did jack shit to improve the team! In fact the ONLY pick that I liked last year was Gordon in the supplemental draft.

The defense let us down, but I think Hoyer wins that game. Holding the Lions to seven in the first half would have been enough for to keep us in the lead throughout the game, IMO.

I know the game was over, but how does an NFL QB throw a 1 yard pass when they are on the 9 yard line on the last play of the game?

In today's league, by design, good offense beats good defense. The "defense" is to keep up, which requires a quarterback who can duel a suddenly hot Matt Stafford.
We don't have that. Take this team, as is, trade QBs? We win. I know you're all tired of me saying it, but that's the NFL today.

Sad he was having a decent game till then too. Till that stupid ass pass this game was soley on the coaching staff. Weeden bailed the coaches out to having to shoulder this loss.

ehhhh, not sure how good a game he was really having. The balls didn't get intercepted which is why no one remembers those throws but he made at least two passes during the game that had he thrown the ball right would have been scores. One of them would have no question been a TD but it would have gotten called back on the penalty anyway. The one where he overthrew possibly the fastest man in the NFL right now by a couple yards streaking down a sideline route with nothing but Cleveland lakeside real estate infront of him....that one made me look up at the sky. He did the same exact thing with obgannaya the other week. Average qb's make that mistake "maybe" once a year. Open receivers streaking down the sideline are some of the easiest throws for a qb to make because the receiver is running almost directly away from him. I can understand timing issues with some of these speed freaks streaking across the middle and you have a miniscule window to fit the ball in so that he doesn't have to stretch for the ball and get killed but also keep it away from the CB's and LB'ers flashing through your throwing lane. I get those mistakes. He just doesn't understand his receivers at all. He's had last years camp, preseason and full regular season and also this years. If he doesn't understand how to throw the ball to his guys by now he's not going to.
-
btw for those that doubt it, there's no way Hoyer loses that game. Weedon left at least 7-14 points on the board. If Hoyer had 120 yds on the ground behind him from our RB's, he easily gets us another TD or two just in the 1st half. Can't speculate how he would have done in the 2nd once Detroit makes their adjustments....but 1st half for sure Hoyer gets us more points. And who knows that could have broken the Lions going into the 2nd half. Hoyer would have kept our Defense fresher for sure. Alot of the front 7 seven guys were sucking wind in the 4th quarter...which is why Groves saw alot more snaps yesterday.

I agree. I gave him a pass last year, only because we had a moron for a head coach and I thought that maybe this year with 2 offensive minded coaches like Chud, and Norv along with Gordon, Cameron and Bess it would make a difference. But from what I'm seeing even someone like Jerry Rice couldn't help this fool!

It's too bad btw that I wasn't at this board last year, I got torched at another board after the Philly game which was Weedens first game. He didn't pass the sniff test that game although his stats weren't terrible. I mentioned that there seems to be some serious issues with certain throws, for instance Weeden cannot throw over the top of LB'ers but infront of the secondary. I got blown up for about 3 or so weeks before people were like hey...maybe there is something wrong here. Took till the end of the season before people were like holy fucking christ he's throwing perfect strikes to the other teams secondary. I bring this up cause you see the exact same and i mean "exact" same procedural errors in his game that you saw on DAY FUCKING 1!! I don't know if you all remember but our D line chased Vick all over the field that game, he was literally running for his life after every snap. That was a game we should have won but rookie Weeds got a major pass from the Cleveland media. Then he comes back the next week and again throws for near 300 yds but was still making those errors and misreads that eventually defense's are going to sodomize you on.
Moral of the story is that the "sniff" test is not entirely invalid. It works on the underwear so I see no reason why that doesn't translate to evaluating football talent. lols

My wife said from day 1 the guy sucked. Remember opening day last year during pregame when they unfurled that huge flag on the field, and he was caught underneath it. My wife was like "oh shit, I got a bad feeling about this guy." Bottom line: this guy does not have what it takes to be an NFL QB. As I said, maybe now that he is a 2 sport failure he can try his luck at basketball? 3's a charm, right?

By the way no, I didn't watch the Patriots game. As a matter of fact I don't know that I've ever watched an entire game that didn't include the Cleveland Browns.
