I don't care who the QB is, and until the rest of the team gels, it doesn't matter.

You're comparing a Farve pass to a DA pass....

I never heard Donald Driver or other Green Bay Packers receivers complaining about Brett's bullets... Get over it guys. The receivers should catch the ball if it hits them in the hands or the gut...

I watched a bunch of the Vikings- Ratbird game, and sorry not so. Farve has learned how to take something off of his fastball. The game winner a few weeks back wasn't a bullet either. Similar circumstances, DA probably would have killed a fan in the first row with one of his bullets.

I can see FAs and their agents lining up in Berea already!!!!

It may be in 2 games...especially if we keep running some WildDawg with Cribbs playing qb.

I can't imagine anybody on here wanting BQ to get another 11 mil based on the early returns.

Despite some really good games under his belt, Anderson has been inconsistent at best and a horrible NFL QB at worse.

Why not play Ratliff the rest of the season? What does the team have to lose. With either DA or BQ, the team would be lucky to win 3 games or more. So why not play Ratliff and see what he can do the rest of the season.

Clearly, getting a competent QB is a major objective in the offseason whether it be by FA, trade or the draft. However, what if Ratliff proves to be a viable option at QB? Could that push the QB draft pick from a #1 to a #3, for example and leaving rounds #1 and #2 to other pressing areas of need?

Right now, Anderson is embarrassing. Let's be honest.

I was somewhat upbeat after seeing that the team put up 14 points against the Steelers until I noticed that 7 came from ST again.

Let's see what Ratliff has. Unfortunately, DA and BQ are dead on arrival.

It really don't matter who is back at the QB spot......Joe Monfriggintana wouldn't help....THis team has NO offesive weapons outside of Cribbs...no rungame, no TE, NO wide-outs...what's a QB to do...??.....but sit back run for his life, and force throws to guys who are not really NFL caliber wides....

This is gonna take a loooong time to even get to 8 and 8 again.......I can't remember when this team has been this bad...

Go look at THAT stat line.

Sanchez threw 5 INT's, attempting to go to Edwards 9 times, he hualed in only three of them. The Jets threw 6 INT's on the afternoon.

BTW, Sanchez passer rating against the same Buffalo team you ripped on DA for was an 8.3

AND ... the Jets lost (again).

That's on Sanchez for trying to force the ball to Edwards, and even with his lousy 8.3 game, he still has a better qb rating than DA, in fact every other starting qb in the NFL does!!!!.

To his credit DA isn't throwing as much into double and triple coverage as he used to, but he's not starting qb material. Our friendly Steeler fan pegged DA exactly- the guy is another Scott Mitchell- had a few great games against lousy teams. He's been figured out, and can't adjust.

To beat DA and the Browns-

1) Double his #1 target, and rotate the coverage deep to take away his long threat.

2) This forces him to throw 100mph rockets on short stuff that no one on the Browns (except maybe Robiskie) is capable of handling, and DA has shown little indication he's yet mastered the art of throwing a touch pass. Make sure you blitz early and often, because when the pressure's on, Da will fold.

Finally Anderson has shown zero indication he can raise the performance of the team around him, and the guy is Mr. anti-clutch. Badly thrown int when the Browns were theoretically still in the game.

Cool good.gif ... I was kind of hoping Roethlistberger would get banged up, but to each his own.

@ballpeen said:

At this point he sucks. No sense in handing him 11 million more when you aren't sure he is worth what he is making now.

I think this is exactly what's going on. Saving money and keeping him as a back up. Anderson isn't done in my book and there is no one to even trade Quinn for at the moment. Yesterday's game was interesting with all the WildDawg stuff and I did see a couple of good Anderson plays. How about where he was about to get sacked, started running (slowly lol) and then decided to toss the ball to... Harrison? I forget who but that ended up in a first down instead of a sack. He also was looking right, then tossed to Massoqui on the far left for a first down. (not staring down a reciever!?!) He may end up a decent qb yet. I really don't think it hurts that he's not afraid of losing his job after every play. Seriously how much pressure does the guy need to be under? As for BQ... I don't think they should have benched him when they did. The play calling was attrocious and the defences he was facing.... I mean woah. Unfortunatly for him, now that he's on the bench, I think he might as well stay there.

@atenears said:

He's not a World Beater, but he probably couldn't have done anything else that he didn't do early on and we just couldn't catch the damn ball.

Hey Stan...fk DA...He is a fkn jioke! I hope he gets........errrr.....banged up.

We've seen DA. He is who he is. Move on.

Give Quinn four or five more games. If he sucks as bad as he did in the first two games, then move on.

Then Give However the rest of the year. If he sucks, then move on.

It really doesn't seem like rocket science....

Well, I did watch the game & I say you can- there's enough evidence to show Anderson is a horrible quarterback- like Bubby Brister bad. Funny how Edwards is now catching the majority of passes thrown him- only difference? Someone else is tossing him the rock.

Bumbling and stumbling in the pocket- and the mandatory interception that was underthrown by 10 yards.

LMFAO ... really? .... AND .... did YOU watch THAT game? Sanchez threw more INT's trying to get the ball to EDWARDS, than Edwarsd actually caught.

Go look at THAT stat line.

Sanchez threw 5 INT's, attempting to go to Edwards 9 times, he hualed in only three of them. The Jets threw 6 INT's on the afternoon.

The money may be a factor as to why we aren't playing him. Once it becomes impossible to attain his 70% of snaps number, he may get another, late season look.

At this point he sucks. No sense in handing him 11 million more when you aren't sure he is worth what he is making now.

"can't evaluate DA by the stat line. Couldn't in 2007 and can't today either"

tucked into his arm when he's trying to move his giant clodhopper feet.

DA threw a very, very, very, very, very, very stupid ANDERCEPTION ****again*****,

DA throws 5 yard cannonballs, and not often on target.

Even the announcers were noticing that bigtime.

DA has no upside because he qb's by thinking of staying off his backside.

No more of DA, PLEASE !
