Seriously, who didn't see this coming?

With a healthy bonus coming on March 19th, the Browns decided to cut former starter Derek Anderson. It was going to be impossible to get anything in trade because the NFL knew it was just a matter of time before Anderson was going to be axed by the Browns.

All in all it was a wild ride with DA. Big arm, questionable decision making and for one afternoon against the Chiefs, feet of Fred Astaire.

So long DA, and remember your personal mantra, if you can't throw it as hard as you possibly can, it isn't worth throwing.

i cant help but remember when Savage had the entire browns scouting department in a bar on foxsports ohio in may of 2008 for a pubic town hall meeting. one of the audience members stood up & asked who was going to be the starting QB & Savage looked at the scouting department & they kinda looked at each other before answering “Anderson”.
then he looked at joe thomas & a couple other players & Thomas didnt exactly know what to say until Savage prompted him……In hindsight it was pretty ominous

by sleepy042 on Mar 9, 2010 3:01 PM EST reply actions  

Couldn’t resist.

I wish DA well. He’ll be a solid backup on a much better team (Colts?). I guess we can thank him for 2007 (minus his collapse) and not much else.

I remember sitting in the Dawg Pound during the Niners game that year and being pissed at all the people holding up “In Sorgi We Trust” signs. I put a lot of blame on DA for that. 2007 is kind of like buying a Porche but never being allowed to put gas into it. No prize without the juice.

actually with the way Al Davis likes speed, Anderson could just launch the ball downfield every play to 4.2sec/40yd dash wide receivers. Match in heaven

i think that KC tendering Brodie Croyle at second round status is trade bate for teams like Carolina and Arizona especially where Haley has connections. I dont think anyone will bring in DA if theyre looking for someone to compete for a starting spot, he’d be more valuable as a back up behind a comfortable starter. in my opinion anyways. but what do i know?

he was injured. injured bad.

by troy145 on Mar 9, 2010 4:45 PM EST up reply actions  

it just baffles me that anyone who saw him play for us the past couple of seasons would pay anything more than league minimum for him. i guess there’s always an idiot in every crowd though.

by Dawg Nuts on Mar 9, 2010 5:07 PM EST up reply actions  

yeah thats kind of what im saying. I dont think anyone’s dumb enough to think he could be anything more than a clipboard holder, and i think Carolina and Az are both looking for guys who can come in and compete for a starting job immediately.

I always preferred his missiles to MLBs. At least when he threw a 40 yard interception it was just a bad punt on second down. The 5 yard pass to a LB-in-zone’s numbers for the pick six was just something I’m going to miss.

To all those who wanted to sign Thomas Jones, I have bad news.

He has signed with KC for 2 years, 5 million dollars.

I am very surprised at how low those numbers are.

by Bernie19Kosar on Mar 9, 2010 5:04 PM EST reply actions  

I would have been all over that if I’m the Browns. I liked Jones, but his position is hardly one to fill, especially for what the Browns are looking for.

by gahnki on Mar 9, 2010 5:14 PM EST up reply actions  

Just thinking out loud here, but I bet the trepidation regarding Jones is his hands. The Browns offense, if it does go to a more WC style, will use backs in the passing game more. Jones probably doesn’t fit what they are looking for, which makes the lack of interest completely understandable.

by bross09 on Mar 9, 2010 11:49 PM EST up reply actions  

Well if you are smart and you are signing a guy to a two year deal and you are worried about their durability, then you would not make the back end large, especially when the first year is an uncapped year.

"Spartans never die Jorge. They're just missing in action."

by SpecialBrownie on Mar 9, 2010 10:00 PM EST up reply actions  

Usually, the off year is a result of the player getting hurt. That player is usually an impact player for that team. Impact player is gone, team struggles, doesn’t make playoffs.

The only team to avoid all three parts of the curse were the 06 Seahawks (the year Alexander broke his hand, and I think possibly his foot). One year removed from breaking a record, and he goes down. Never the same since.

I love this comment:

I have always supported DA and always been a fan of him. He’s absolutely right, when the fans cheered after his injury was just wrong. That kid was handed a mess of an offense that he had to work with. And there’s no doubt in my mind he did everything he could with what he had to work with. I am on 1 hand very sad to see him go but on the other glad. Glad because hopefully he’ll get a chance on a winning team and prove what he’s capable of.

The Browns fans that cheered his injury in my opinion are not true Browns fans,rather they are fair weather fans. REAL BROWNS FANS stick with the team win or lose and DO NOT CHEER when one of our players gets hurt…unless that player is Ray Lewis who should be in jail anyway.

I would have much rather seen Brady go bye bye. He’s nothing more than an over rated prima donna and I’d love nothing more than to see him gone.

Hopefully Holmgren will get us a QB that can bring us some wins and dare I say…. a Championship.

by Roger Dorn on Mar 10, 2010 12:04 AM EST up reply actions  

People were basically calling for Ken Dorsey to come out because we were tired of watching Anderson. I like to think that we weren’t neccesarily cheering because Anderson got hurt, but that he was finally going to leave the game.

Everyone was all “Now we can win, because we have Dorsey! Dorseys a hundred times better!”

by BrownDawg1409 on Mar 10, 2010 8:03 AM EST up reply actions  

See Derek’s problem is everything is about him, his feelings, and his opportunity. I doubt anyone sincerely wanted the man to suffer injury (at least for more than a few drunken hours). Fans just wanted him pulled because his AWFUL play was drastically hurting our chances to win. Fans cheered because he was not quarterbacking, not because he got hurt.

You are not entitled to be a starting NFL quarterback, Derek. It is not a birthright. It’s one of the most competitive jobs on the planet, and you couldn’t hack it. GTFO.

I am so glad I stopped in here before lapsing into unconsciousness tonight. I will go to bed smiling and wake up the same way tomorrow morning. Even with DA’s pathetic year, I didn’t wish him any hard luck elsewhere until I started reading his quotes:

We don’t “deserve a winner” because of the drunken activities of a few hundred idiots on one occasion? If that’s what he was getting it, then yes, I do blame him, actually.

Really though, the bottom line is that he was absolutely pathetic last year and way overpriced to boot. Now he’s whining about the natural resolution to those facts. Boo hoo. Go throw awful passes somewhere else, DA.

It’s been well documented here that the vast majority of us thought cheering when he got injured (or when anyone gets injured for that matter) was/is disgustingly horrible…

..just like the vast majority of Browns fans did not actually cheer when he got injured. If he wants to blow things out of proportion and lump several hundred thousand people in with a few hundred drunk people, that’s not cool.

by rufio on Mar 10, 2010 2:23 PM EST up reply actions  

exactly. I think I remember people cheering but it didn’t at all sound like the whole stadium was…I think the whole thing was out of frustration of his play. on DAs part, it is irresponsible IMO. Instead of taking responsibility for his bad play, he lashes out and says he never got the support from the fans. he made up stories and concocted theories that weren’t there, just to try to clear his responsibility in his dreadful play.

from what I remember, the fans did support DA when he was doing well. granted, when he was dreadful and losing games, the fans didn’t like him, but that was understandable. blowing something out of proportion and making false statements does not clear you of blame Mr. Anderson.

by North Coast Flea on Mar 10, 2010 3:23 PM EST up reply actions  

yep…

the problem is both have larger ego’s than they should and are immature. I come to this by the fact that neither could accept that it was their fault that their play suffered. braylon blamed his gloves. they both blamed the fans. if you read the post, DA was in a way saying that he was doomed to fail in cleveland because the fans always hated him. he made up stories and latched on to things (that didn’t really exist) like the fans booing when he got injured. you notice that he really doesn’t talk about how it was really his fault that he failed.

braylon did the same thing. he said because he was from michigan, the fans hated him and he could never succeed here.

these are classic cases of immaturity. these men cannot take responsibility for their own actions. I recognize this because I used to be one of the worst offenders. in High School i could never accept responsibility. however, by around the time I was 18, I really started to break the habit. hopefully these MEN break the habit soon.

by bross09 on Mar 10, 2010 4:20 PM EST up reply actions  

My favorite quote
“The fans are ruthless and don’t deserve a winner,” Anderson wrote in an e-mail to The News-Herald, a suburban Cleveland newspaper. "I will never forget getting cheered when I was injured (in 2008, a sprained medial collateral ligament).

“I know at times I wasn’t great. I hope and pray I’m playing when my team comes to town and (we) roll them.”

Be great to see Practice Squad DA come in and put 35 up on the puppy pound.

No. it attacks the gastrointestinal tract and system and causes inflammation. It is classified as an inflamatory bowel disease but affects areas besides the bowels, and is usually more prevalent in those areas.

Okay. I am not touching Washington with a 10 foot pole b/c that is just disgusting.

Now with McClain, I worry a bit and his stock will drop, but I am not completely scared. there is no cure for Crohns but it is not life threatening. It can affect lifestyle of a person but mostly in diet. many people with Crohns lead very normal lives. The one thing that happens to many though is fatigue but this can be cured with proper exercise.

David Garrard had it and he had in fact a particularly bad case. however, he has been able to play in the NFL and it has not hindered him significantly. It can definitely be debilitating in your lifestyle but It is a very managable disease.
