    Derek Anderson

    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.
    The last time the Bills made the playoffs was 1999.

            I would rather have pretty much anyone else as well.

                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.
                  I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
                  "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
                  You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
                  It was all                   true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
                  He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can                   mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

                        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.

                            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.
