I was thinking today that it really wouldn't be that far fetched to see the Bills trade for him (not saying I want them to).

Nix was saying how we need a strong armed QB in here. Edwards has an above average arm but its nothing special, Fitzpatrick throws some real ugly balls and his arm strength is nothing to write home about either.

If Nix decides to not go with Edwards or a QB in the First two rounds (which I really can't see therm doing) I think Anderson enters the picture.

Gailey wants a QB with some experience in the league, and Nix doesn't like to sign or trade for older veteran players. Anderson is still young and showed flashes of greatness in 2006 when he made the pro bowl.

Do I think it's the right move? absolutely not...but don't be suprised if you start hearing rumblings about this real soon.

NOT THE DUDE...

not a terrible idea, but, his contract is pretty big

I'd rather give Trent another chance.

Sucks...

Oh, sorry. I thought we were playing word association.

Seriously, he may have the big arm, but the guy is not accurate in any way. He is a career 52.9% passer, and even in his career year he only completed 56.5% of his passes. That is no fluke. He wasn't accurate in college either, only completing 50.7% of his attempts.

So, he is a big guy with a big arm, but he isn't consistent and has a scattershot arm. The NFL requires precision passing, and the guy doesn't have it.

There's no way we trade for someone who cant keep the job for at least four seasons.

Exactly.

Anderson has a strong arm?

The Browns are actually worse off than the Bills at the QB position. And you are saying we might want to trade for Anderson?
If ever there was a 'one year wonder', it's Anderson. He is appalling.

Anderson has a strong arm?

Yes, thats the one attribute about him that doesn't completely suck

Since he threw for 17 yards against us, and still won, the Bills probably think he has "that something special" and will make a big play for him lol

JP Losman. That dudes got a strong arm. Was a first round pick. About as good as Anderson.

Wait.... lets not.

I did that when the above poster mentioned Clausen or Bradford.... neither of those guys could throw in this weather.
