Browns QB Derek Anderson (official thread)
I think DA has finally earned his own official thread!
Quote:
Anderson will become a restricted free agent in March and a league source told Yahoo! Sports the Browns will likely extend a qualifying offer that would require another team to give up a first- and third-round pick should it sign him. The Browns could match any contract offer, but that appears unlikely with first-round pick Brady Quinn on the roster. Cleveland isn't going to sign Anderson to a lucrative long-term deal and also retain Quinn.
If Anderson continues his strong play in the final 10 games, his trade value will be sky high this offseason. He's big and has a strong arm, and will be 25 heading into next year. And he offers Cleveland the best of two worlds. Not only can the Browns let Quinn learn and make up for lost training camp time during his rookie campaign, but Cleveland can parlay a former sixth-round pick into high draft choices. Then again, if Anderson throws 30-plus touchdowns this season and looks like something special for the long term, the Browns may be forced to consider other options: Bring back both quarterbacks for '08 (as San Diego did with Drew Brees and Philip Rivers in '05), or trade Quinn.

Anderson seizing his opportunity

The biggest surprise in the first half of this season has been the play of Cleveland Browns quarterback Derek Anderson. All you really need to know about Anderson is that his own coaches weren't even sold on his ability to lead this team at the start of the year. He lost a preseason quarterback competition to Charlie Frye, who was traded to Seattle after the season opener. Anderson took over the starting job and has led the usually lousy Browns to a 3-3 record, despite dealing with the looming presence of first-round pick Brady Quinn. Anderson has been so good, Browns general manager Phil Savage said, "If you had to pick one guy who has saved our season, Derek would that person."
