Is this trade a done deal?
Well I have to write Gene Upshaw to get my answer  |
My understanding is that it is a 6 year 38 million dollar contract and that he is in Cleveland now.....my guess what be he is there to pass a physical and sign on the dotted line. |

If we signed the DA of the first ten games, then good. If we signed the DA of the last six, then uh-oh.

I wasn't at the game in Cinci, but comparing the performance of the two passers Carson Palmer and DA on that day with their Week 2 game, something happened.
Week 2 Bengals at Browns;
C.Palmer 33 of 50, 401yds. 6tds 2 ints 113.4 pass eff. rating
Anderson 20 of 33 328yds 5tds 1 int. 121 pass eff. rating
Week 16 Browns at Bengals
C.P. 11 of 21 115 yards 1 td 2 int. 44.8 eff. rating (Lowest of his season)
D.A. 29 of 48 251 yards 2 td 4 int. 53.4 eff. rating ( lowest of his season)
I wasn't on the field but can only surmise with the Browns staff that the late season drop in performance level of DA were weather related or defenses catching up with offensive schemes. |

The Browns are another shining example of a sham of Cleveland pro franchises scamming the hard working people of NE Ohio betting on the come.
Every pro franchise in every other city eventually spends the dollars to provide the carrot. Not any of Clevelands despicable owners are going to part with one red cent, but they will gladly take yours in order to keep you waiting for next year and do it to you again!
You think the owners of all these teams got to where they are by being completely inept.
I don't even live there but they did it to me for 40 years.

It would be foolish to go with the Bengals Defense getting good -
that leaves option number one.

I'd say it was mostly weather-related but maybe he was also showing his YOUTH. It was Anderson's first go round in a playoff atmosphere and he came up short. He's a young guy, and is basically coming off of a rookie season.
Maybe we should just get C.C. Sabathia's ass out of town since he had a bad post-season. He must not be talanted either.
