Derek Anderson

What was the difference in talent around him in Cleveland the following year? The one where he was so bad they benched him for Brady Quinn?

What was the difference in AZ in talent vs the year before he got his shot? They were a 10 win team with the same OL and RBs.

Anderson has had his number called several years to start games. He isn't very good. Nothing has ever supported that fluke year in Cleveland. Anderson, Braylon and Winslow had a perfect storm season.

In Cleveland, Winslow was his security blanket in 2007. He missed half the second season. The line didn't get it done in 2008 - Jamal Lewis couldn't move the ball and Anderson was sacked as many time during his short starting stint as he was the entire previous season. They also missed having Jurevicious in the slot. Most importantly, he was the QB for 3 of their 4 wins in 2008.

Last offseason, I made it a point to be vocal in my hopes that Chud was hired as a headcoach. He has a history of going full retard the second season, no matter what his role is.

I never watched Anderson play in Arizona. All I know is that 2010 Arizona team is Jimmy Clausen's only win as a starter. Some team they were.

As opposed to leave to be backup?

No one is going to give Anderson a shot. He had his shots.

I think if Chud were to get a job in Philly for instance, DA will not be far behind him. He would have an excellent chance to start in that situation. Or he could go wherever Norv ends up as an OC, as he runs a vertical style offense. Many of us predicted DA would stay with us for two years, now I think he will want to start again and get that money.

    • Right I need to grow up because you got..... a single poo emoji pot meet kettle.
    • @PantherChrisgrow the fug up.  We read you whine and bitch about so much all the time, let someone have their own take on things instead of being a petulant child.
    • Florida is the only team that would be doing that to us, and it happens when we are down Chatty, Walker isn't 100% and our top players are being molested in plain view on the ice. Florida is bigger and just as fast as we are, they have the two biggest agitating arseholes in the NHL in Marchand and Tkachuk, have a solid coach and a lot of nice pieces that make that team the best in the East by a good margin this year and possibly back to back Cup champions.  I fail to mention Zito who has been aggressive in getting Marchand and Seth Jones plus other players at the deadline to fill in any weaknesses. We have taken the long term, we have a shot every year approach and keep coming up short.  This is the summer to come away with the last needed pieces and if that takes sacrificing some prospects and picks we have to do it.  We have Freddie who is a very good goalie, but I still think young Kooch needs more time - he shows flashes but he still isn't right between the ears yet. This is definitely it for Orlov, not sure about Burns although he has looked it the last half of the season.  It would be nice to be able to get rid of KK somehow.  Svech has never become the guy I thought he'd be so a pure scorer would be nice.  I still like where this organization is EVEN with RBA coaching.  Do we discredit everything the guy has done in years where we weren't supposed to make the playoffs let alone win some series etc??  We need a bit more size, but I like we added Walker, Carrier, and Robinson who all had some good experience and didn't mind showing some grit.  Who's Back:    Forwards:  Aho, Svech, Jarvy, Blake, Hall, Carrier, Staal, Marty, Stankoven (need to sign to a bridge at least), KK  (really need to trade him this summer or next year for sure, his NMC kicks in 26-27) Defensemen:  Slavin, Walker, Chatty, Ghost, Nikishin, Morrow Goalies:  Freddy, Koochy Potential: Forwards:   Nadeau (he was like a -20 in Chicago so he'll have to really earn Rod's trust), Robidas, FUS didn't have a great season, Bring back Roslovic?, Jost for cheap?? Defensemen:  Technically Nikishin and Morrow, but I have them replacing Orlov and Burns above, Honka, Probably will sign one who plays good D and doesn't break the bank Goalies:  Khazheyev?, Sign one possibly?? tl;dr:  Bottom line is we are definitely going to need to sign a Defenseman or two, and 2-3 Forwards with 2 being scorers and hopefully taller than 6'0".  We have really good depth at forward, we are thinning out at D, and our goalies.....I am just not sure.
