Campbell's development curve

I would hardly call Clev. terrible. On offense they are quite good. Right now I would take Braylon Edwards over any WR on our roster. Winslow is also playing like a top TE. Joe J. has always been a good 2nd wr. Plus they have invested quite heavily on the O-line.

Say what you want about D. Anderson but he was a very very productive QB at Ore. State and played in a pro style offense. He has a big time NFL arm. He was well coached in college. I can't remember the coaches name at Ore State but the guy was the head coach at SD. for a few years. Sometimes all a guy needs is a little time and a chance to prove himself. The result is they are starting to really score some points this year and he is keeping Brady Quinn on the bench.Mike Riley?

A lot of people were high on Derek Anderson coming out of the draft. He has good (not great) periphrials (comp % and games started) but he's proven to be a good (not great) NFL caliber starter.

Now, scouts that liked him I guess were higher on guys like Aaron Rogers, Alex Smith and Charlie Frye. They of course overlooked the two biggest prospects of that draft: Jason Campbell and Derek Anderson.

The question is, will Derek Anderson go the Jon Kitna route or the Drew Brees/Matt Schaub route? Will he stay as Quinn's backup until his contract expires, or will he get traded and/or walk to another team?

Anderson is for real, as long as you temper the expectations for him. He is a top 32 QB in this league and a legit starter, but I doubt he will ever be in a pro bowl.


Anderson's year has been overrated to this point, as his play has been filled more with potential than with consistency, but the important stuff is there, and he will continue to improve.

Yeah I agree, if Cleveland had a defense they would be dangerous right now.

As for Anderson, I think the Browns might have a situation on their hands similar to the Chargers a few years ago with Brees/Rivers.I think Cleveland will make the playoffs. They just have to beat out Tennessee (who has a great defense, but no offense, much like us) for that 6th seed, and win about 10 games.

Bet the Ravens wish they had kept Anderson now...or maybe not.

A healthy Braylon Edwards has been huge though

Didn't cleveland have the #3 pick in the draft? how were they not terrible? Wasnt ROMEO about to get fired? Don't they still have zero running game and a bad defense?

Don't give me running game numbers please....jamal lewis has been horrible despite one game and in garbage time

Braylon is sick, he was in the heisman talk for a while

I'm talking about this year, not last year.

Yeah, Derek Anderson is starting this year.....not understanding you i guess

Back to JC, he definitely has looked off these past two weeks. I still have faith in him, but my once rock-solid belief that we was a Pro Bowler in the making has been shaken.

Hey, it's a process here. He's not a pro-bowler yet, and no doubt the jury is still out. The next few games are mighty big for JC. The main thing, IMO, is to eliminate the TOs and hit the 3rd down reads better. I don't need the sudden long-bomb thing--that's going to take more time, especially given the o-line.

The whole team from top to bottom got spanked yesterday--don't think it's the best thing to do to judge JC on this. Better, look at his RESPONSE to this. That will tell us much more, I believe.

Hey, the guy threw a TD at the end, in a thoroughly humiliating undressing that ANYBODY could have been excused for sitting out the rest of. I'd say that speaks volumes to start off with.
