Would anyone else feel comfortable with Anderson starting?

id rather cam get the experience, but if i was the coach an needed to win id play anderson, he gives you the best chance to win at this point

we have to think about the future, I would only start anderson if we had a chance to go to the playoffs this year but honestly I'm only expecting about 6 wins this year so Jimmy or Cam get the nod.

Dear God.

Is this what this once proud franchise has come to?

Drafting Clausen, then 'ole "Computer Repair" Newton....

And now this?

Starting Derek Anderson?

The man who has already been run out of 3 NFL cities?

Folks,

Please...

It's almost as sad as you giving yourself pi on all of your posts, because no one else will.

i dont know if Anderson gives you the best chance to win at all, he didnt give Arizona the best chance to win last year to the point they traded a 2nd and Rogers-Cromartie for Kolb. i dont think he gives them the best chance to win.

Former Pro Bowl QB vs soon to be out of a job roster fillers should equal dominating performance- but somehow it didn't.

He had a nice throw or two, but Jimmy and Cam both vastly out performed him IMO.

He's a decent mentor, an ok security blanket, but shouldn't be counted on for much more than that. He's peaked- he had his time in the sun and pissed it away and couldn't legitly beat out Matt freaking Leinart. Cam and Jimmy have a future in the league, why let half has been, half never been stand in their way?

Actually, Arizona coaches said they thought Anderson gave them the best chance to win, numerous times... same at Cleveland 'til the owner stepped in. If Rivera says the same thing at the start of the year, it might not be that strange, although some here might treat it as though armageddon has happened.

There's a couple trains of thought... go with the best you have at the time, or go with the one you figure you'll end up with and hope they'll improve through experience.

Cam's got a HUGE upside, Jimmy's not a lost cause in the least, but if Anderson can do a better job of running the team for now, why not? The guy only took snaps in what, 3-4 practices so far, and very few in those. I figure if he starts getting an equal share in the next week or two the coaches are looking at who'll do the best job to begin the season.

Nothing is locked in stone, and I'm sure they want to develop the future starter as fast as possible, but why sacrifice potential wins for a little bit of game experience if you've got a guy that you think will give you a better shot at wins in the near term?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      If we divide the league up into quarters you need to be able to make 8 worse starting QBs for him not to be bottom tier. Who are they?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      It just doesn't add up to what we're watching. It feels like you're trying to convince yourself that Bryce can just make a few adjustments and pan out. You say he turns the ball over because he's over aggressive and I just don't see that. A lot of his turnovers are just bad throws oftentimes because the balls sails in him. The fumble issues? I mean, you have the smallest QB in the NFL getting hit by extremely large powerful kej who knows based on film study that this guy is prone to coughing up the ball. If you're being hit by a much larger, much more powerful man intent on removing the ball from your possession you're gonna lose that battle a decent amount of the time. I think some of it is due to bad footwork but some of it is also that when there's traffic in front of him he has to try to get the ball up and over that pressure due to his lack of height. His release point it just several inches lower than most NFL QBs, no way around it. You saying it's more difficult than simply looking at outcomes while completely leaning on situational stats to try to convince people their eyes are lying to them and Bryce's arm isn't a significantly limiting factor in his game. Some people are hyperbolic about his lack of arm strength but honestly he has one of the weakest arms in the league. That's just reality if you objectively watch him play versus other NFL QBs. If he had time in a clean pocket and can step up into and through his throw he can make most throws but that's the problem, for him to make the tougher throws everything has to go perfect. If there's pressure pushing him off his spot or pressure in front of him where he can't step up or has to try to loft the pass over the scrum it's probably ending in a poor result. The problem is that's a commonplace scenario in the NFL. It wasn't at Alabama. Trust your own QB analytical system. Bryce being very the bottom of the league matches up perfectly with the eye test of just watching him olay

      If he wanted to be as irrelevant as possible in his final year he's achieving it.
