QB Derek Anderson released

[Raptor]

Derek Anderon's rollercoaster career in Cleveland has come to its logical conclusion.

The Browns released Anderson Tuesday, well aware that no one wanted him via trade with a monster roster bonus due in ten days.

The Oregon State product was picked off the waiver wire in one of former G.M. Phil Savage's best moves, and made the Pro Bowl in 2007 on the strength of vertical passing and an easy schedule.

Things fell apart dramatically since, as Anderson's accuracy and decision-making were among the league's worst the last two years.

Any QB we have on our roster atm, is better than Anderson. Nice that he got at least one big pay day, bu I wouldn't touch him with anybody elses.

Yep and then he will have a "press conference" with the media whilst Chris Brown blogs about how he "reeeeeeeeeeeeeally isn't that bad guuuyysss..he always helped the old ladies of cleveland take their grocery bags to their cars at night and GOSH DARN IT, HE TRIES SO HARD!...and Nix loves that about him" or some complete garbage like that.

Why? Just so they can truly gauge how pissed everyone will be when we sign him.

Then they will overpay him by bidding against themselves :brilliant:

How's my accuracy on this one guys?

I would not go against that bet at all.

Re: QB Derek Anderson released

I don't like him at all... and he's still twice as good as Edwards, which speaks volumes.

Re: QB Derek Anderson released

why bother? We have no OL and no WR's.

We have OL...we could use a top LT, but our interior is pretty good. I think Meredith will be better than Green at RT, but I'll wait til training camp and preseason to confirm that. It may be that Green is better at run blocking and if that's what they actually intend to do - namely RUN (which I fully support) then that also takes pressure of the QB and even WRs...

I always have preferred us to be a run first team. Even when Mularkey made claims that we would be a run 1st, smash mouth running offense that he really never implemented.

This guy was out played by Brady Quinn.

The QB position battle would closely resemble a Special Olympic try out.

While I don't like Anderson at all, none of our current QBs could even dream about putting together a season like Anderson did 2 years ago.
