Browns Release Former Pro Bowl QB Anderson
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4979700
The Cleveland Browns released former Pro Bowl quarterback Derek Anderson, the team announced Tuesday. The move comes just one day after the team acquired Seneca Wallace in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks. New team president Mike Holmgren said it would be a "long shot" that both Anderson and Brady Quinn would be on the roster. A major reason for choosing Quinn was Anderson's contract required a $2 million roster bonus this month and a $7.45 million salary in 2010. "I want to thank Derek for everything that he gave to the Cleveland Browns organization over the last five years," Browns coach Eric Mangini said in a statement. "He did everything we asked of him and it was a pleasure to coach such a competitive person. I want to wish him all the best in the future." Anderson had his best season with the Browns in 2007, when he threw for 3,787 yards and 29 touchdowns and led the team to 10 victories. He received a three-year extension with Cleveland but never lived up to expectations after that point. Cleveland remains unsure of its starting quarterback for next season. The team has been very active in searching for potential trades and will likely continue to do so. ----------------------------------------------- Does this make way for Cleveland to trade up to KC's #5 spot and take Clausen? |

Personally if we are going to steer away from the Cassel ship, then i would rather have Claussen than Quinn..
Maybe its my personally hatred for Quinn but i just dont like the guy and i dont think he has the "it" factor. |

According to beat writer Tony Grossi, Brady Quinn could be "shipped out" after the recent trade for Seneca Wallace.
Derek Anderson is already as good as gone, and Quinn won't be able to learn Mike Holmgren's West Coast offense and beat out Wallace in one offseason. The Browns may look to draft a quarterback in the second or third round, but Wallace is easily the early favorite start Week 1. Rotoworld.com

Yeah...so he's being shipped out because again he's being asked to learn a new offense and they don't want to give him the time. He's not going to lose the job based off of talent...he's losing it based off of Holmgren's familiarity of Wallace.

Quinn got the biggest dick job ever.
1. Get's drafted by the Browns. 2. Anderson starts because of previous season. 3. Starts after Anderson sucks. 4. Throws an INT and gets benched. 5. Starts after Anderson sucks. 6. Put on IR 7. Loses TE to a trade. 8. Throws an INT and gets benched. 9. Starts after Anderson sucks. 10. Loses starting WR to a trade. Rinse and mother****ing repeat. |

You can't get Clausen and still have the 7 pick like you would there.

I want no part of Derek Anderson. With that said, I would gladly welcome Brady Quinn to the roster. It would atleast give Cassel some serious competition. But I'm also not going to stomp on Cassel yet. Its amazing how many people hate him so quickly. You guys should've learned with TrInt that the first year with a team is not likely to be pretty, especially in Cassel's situation. I don't trust Cassel, but I'm willing to give him another year or so unless he just totally blows ass next year, which I don't think he will do. I expect him to have a QB rating around 80.

Trent Green and Matt Cassel have absolutely NOTHING in common. Comparing the two is utterly ridiculous. |
