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.

probably not. But if Chud can make him look anything like he did when he was with him in Cleveland then he might be worth a start.

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...

[Ruff]

He might be the best of the 3 right now.

I kinda feel the same way.

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

Unless Jimmay can pull a rabbit out of his ass this is Cams team and he should start. When Cam struggles, and he will struggle, I think Anderson is a great choice to come in and help out. He knows the system...

Well, He do have moe PI dan Fiz....

I would be comfortable with DA starting because he knows the system, but I don't think he should start unless both Cam and Clausen aren't even close to being ready to start.

[Ricky Spanish]

I'd rather anderson be out there if cam or jimmy aren't ready. if he gives us the best possibility of winning, throw his ass out there.

[Ivan The Awesome]

No, I'd rather see Jimmy Or Cam. Let them get experience.

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.

[Jackofalltrades]

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?
