BA Wants DA NOW!

Anderson Trade A Possibility For BucsPosted By Roy Cummings at Feb 19, 2009 at 12:12 PMUpdated Feb 19, 2009 at 12:13 PM

INDIANAPOLIS – A lot of the talk here at the combine is centering around the Bucs and their quarterback position.Few believe the Bucs are ready to just hand the starter’s job to Luke McCown, so the question is, who they will bring in to challenge McCown for the starter’s job.Free agents such as Byron Leftwich, J.P. Losman and Patrick Ramsey are all being thrown around as possibilities but one possibility that is gaining steam would have the Bucs trading with the Browns for Derek Anderson.

Anderson has one of the strongest arms in the league as well as just about every physical tool you need to be a difference maker at his position. What he doesn’t have is a great understanding of defenses or the game’s nuances.With a little work and a bit of a push he could be developed into one of the game’s better quarterbacks and word is the Brown might take as little as a third-round pick for him.

When you consider that he’s younger than Luke McCown but has more experience than McCown it doesn’t sound like a bad option for the Bucs to consider, especially with Jeff Jagodzinski running the offense.Jagodzinski figures to be a little more aggressive than Jon Gruden was and Anderson would probably fit what he does well. Also, with Jagodzinski and Greg Olson tutoring him, Olson would likely max out on his potential.

Buccaneer Lori wants this trade! DA for a third rounder? Way to go, Browns fans! Shit, you should at least insist on a second. I think they will end up getting a second for DA. Last year, he played for a bad, bad team. Sorry, Browns fans, it isn't always the QB when your team blows. And that was the case last year.

No running game, a bad o-coordinator, a pathetic defense, a horrid GM, an average coach, and one of the worst WR groups in the league, but it's all DA's fault. I know you all want to run him out of town instead of trying to get the best deal for him. Brilliant, Browns nation.

Absolutely brilliant. Instead of trying to get a second or even late first rounder, you just want him gone. You people never disappoint in your raging stupidity.

Personally, I think the guy who wrote the article is full of shit. Mangini and Kokinis aren't idiot fans--they're proven NFL guys who don't react and act. They're going to wait and get the best deal for DA that they can--and that isn't some third rounder (at least not this early in the offseason). And if that means waiting until the draft gets close, so be it.

Just because their douche bag fan base is impatient doesn't mean that they have to be. I saw one post from a Detroit newspaper that just cracked me up. Lions fans were talking about trying to get DA. Opinion was mixed, though fairly warm towards the idea. And one idiot actually proposed that the Lions swap their top overall pick to the Browns in exchange for the Browns fifth overall pick, DA, and Cleveland's second rounder.

This just shows that idiots can get internet access. That would be the stupidest thing the Browns could do (and Mangini and Kokinis wouldn't do it of course). Typical fan thinking. Moron.

First, the trade is massively unfavorable for the Browns: They move up five spaces in exchange for a second rounder and DA? WTF? Then, nobody wants the top overall pick--the price is way too high. And a player the Browns want will be there at the fifth spot at a cheaper price (Aaron Curry, Malcom Jenkins....).

Finally, the Browns need MORE draft picks, not less. The asshole who posted that probably thinks that the Lions will go to the Super Bowl next year. Fucking 10 year-olds. This is what Madden has done to football fans: they think building a roster is like playing a fucking computer game.

Meanwhile, us Bucs fans are stuck with Luke McNown as our starter for now. Screw that! Luke McNown? Really, Tampa Bay? Really?

Good grief, offer Cleveland a 2nd and fifth rounder and GET DA NOW! Do you know how many teams will give DA a good look? KC, NYJ, Detroit and Carolina, will just to name a few. Then how about some wild cards like Seattle, SF, and St. Louis? All it takes is one other team to raise the bidding (that's an auction reference, Browns fans).

Or--oh geniuses that own and run the Bucs--do you think that Byron Leftwich, J.P. Losman, or Patrick Ramsey can provide something more? Suckwich, Loserman, and Ram-it-sey couldn't do the job in the past--on GOOD teams--and they won't do it now. In 2007, the Browns were pretty solid and DA lit it up. Last year, there were too many injuries and too little depth (well done, Phil Savage) for any QB to overcome.

Jon Kitna? No thank you very much. Gus Ferrotte? Shoot me. It's bad enough you fucked up and fired Gruden and replaced him with some d-backs coach who is all of 32. Don't compound the mistake by giving turning us into the Vikings--a great team with no good QB.

GET DEREK ANDERSON NOW!
