And the point of this is? Jeez we all know what Anderson can do, one good game, one bad, one good, two bad, so on and so on. He is average on a average team. This one win against Jacksonville doesn’t change my opinion of Anderson or this team.
 This team will not win a playoff game with Anderson at QB and Romeo as head coach, and that is my opinion.

Anderson didn’t play great against Jacksonville. He didn’t F it up and he made one extremely nice pass to Edwards on the deep ball down the sideline. I disagree with G rock in that I think the team is very strong when our quarterback can manage the game

haha i was just trying show everyone how pointless it is

Come on, he was taken ahead of McNabb! You need to bring him back.

He had a good first half. Props on the first half. Now the second half, however…

The Pro-Quinn following pretty much all acknowledge that DA is capable of playing very well. It’s his abhorrent inconsistency that’s got our ire.

DA is Schizo and he’s making all (many) of us ill with his Dr. Jeckel and Mr. Hyde routine. But I think you are right. Until we see Quinn under live fire with his game to win or lose, we won’r know jack…..

I have a strong feeling there is zero chance BQ will see meaningful action unless our Browns are mathematically eliminated. May as well get on the DA bandwagon no matter how schizo he looks.

I have problems here, not with the lack of arguing over who the QB should be (and thereby starting arguments over who the QB should be), not with the prospect of giving Quinn meaningful PT, but at the suggestion that DA shouldn’t take the blame for a loss or the credit for the win. There are two reasons why the QB is the guy to do both (barring spectacular defensive/ST TDs, Barry Sandersesque running plays, coaching meltdowns, or other irregular phenomena).

First, of any player on the field, the Quarterback has the biggest and most direct impact on winning or losing a game. He touches the ball every single play (Wildcat formation and direct snaps not withstanding). He calls the plays, he calls the audibles, he operates the offense. He can make his receivers and tight ends better or worse depending on how he plays, he can soften up a defense for his RB, he can even make his line look better by getting rid of the ball quickly.

Second, the quarterback is the symbolic leader of the team. The team huddles around him. He is the only player whose backup can’t play a single snap. He is looked to as a leader (vocal or not), he is the face of the franchise. Its just part of the job description.

As a QB, you take the blame for losses, especially when your poor play directly influences the outcome of the game more than anyone else’s.

start quinn. he’s awesome and will take you to the super bowl. maybe 5 times.

Its not DA, it’s your head coach and o-coach. They have no feel for the game.
