Guest Masters Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Lack of leadership cost Anderson his starting job Getty Images Derek Anderson's performance this year in two-minute situations has been problematic. Any time the Cleveland Browns' radio helmet system went out, Anderson seemed unable to call a play on his own. The play against Washington in which Anderson had to run to the sideline as precious time elapsed said a lot about his field generalship. It doesn't take a cannon arm to realize the play there is to spike the ball to stop the clock. Every time the arguments for inserting Quinn grew louder, Anderson would put together a winning performance. But now with the team at 3-5 there's no reason to continue the agony of his inconsistency. Anderson should be more advanced after 26 NFL starts. He may have peaked. Quinn doesn't have the RPMs on his throws that Anderson does. But what the Browns lose in torque, they gain in accuracy and, based on Quinn's major college career, field leadership and perhaps huddle presence. The Browns have to find out who is the quarterback to lead the team to the Super Bowl. Quinn deserves to start the final eight games, time enough to develop a rhythm with the front-line players previously denied him. The Browns better hope that Quinn is the player for whom Phil Savage traded two high picks in 2007 to acquire. Nobody can say the Browns forced him in ahead of his time. If anything, they waited too long. Source: Plain Dealer http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/rumors/post ... nfl,119536 Something many of us have said many time.

Guest Masters Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hurts when someone tells the truth don't it. I mean how does any QB past HS not know when he needs to call a TO or spike the ball during a two minute drill. I mean jesus, I haven't played QB at those levels, but I figured that stuff out on Madden football when I was 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Masters Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'm not a big fan of sleepy, laid back quarterbacks. Especially ones with low Wonderlic scores. I see a quarterback as part player, part coach, part spokesman, and all leader. It's not just another position. Anderson, like JaMarcus Russell but completely different, has that sleepy, hangdog attitude about him. He scored low on his Wonderlic because he isn't "book smart"... kinda like Vince Young. Anderson resembles Flacco... until you hear Flacco talk or watch him run. Then the similarities end. I am not a fan of a QB who has that woe is me attatitude when things go wrong. Like Steve Young says, "as a QB your job is to stop the bleeding". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NW Ohio Brownie Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Not to dump on DA here, because we should all be appreciative of him leading us out of that Charlie Frye wasteland last year, but it was frustrating to watch his time management during those two-minute situations this year and last. It crossed my mind more than once during that stretch how Bernie was probably going bonkers watching that. Kosar's cerebral talents were well-documented and watching DA conduct the three-minutes-long two-minute drill had to drive #19 right up the proverbial wall.

hanze1 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 DA is intellectually challenged. We all know that. Too bad we may have forfeited the season because the coaching staff waited so long to pull the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Masters Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Actual Browns fans happy with the benching of DA is because they knew it was a long time coming. Heck, many fans (myself included) were calling for it late last year. Look, on a personal level, I feel for DA. Its not like I don't think he tried his best. But he is not a starting caliber NFL QB and the clock struck 12 on his cinderella story. And if there weren't people (Lummy looking in your direction) going over board by calling anyone who critisized DA a BQ fag, lover, etc. (even with no mention of BQ or claiming he would be better) there wouldn't be half the "back slapping" you are talking about. When you go as far as him and some DA supporters went, this is what you get. It's the old saying, you reep what you sow. And if you are gonna call people out with the description you just put it, you ought to portray both sides of the fence and call out a guy like Lum.

Sturim Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 He came from the practice squad of the Ravens...you know, the team with all those great pedigree qb's. They could have held on to him if they really felt he was going to help their team and they didn't. I don't hate the guy, never did. What has happened so far this year though, I wanted to see a change at qb. If it doesn't work out, I'll be right here saying so. I'm not on a bandwagon, I actually would like to see the browns succeed. I didn't see that happening with DA in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing to keep in mind is that BALT did want to keep DA and Newsome was a bit upset about Savage grabbing him (reportedly). They thought they could slip him by when they needed to make a roster move. Savage got tiped off by DAs college coach because DA told him what was happening. Now that's not to say they really believed he'd turn into more than a back up or significantly help their team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
