BADOLBILZ Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 Derek Anderson stat line from October 11th, 2009 as QB of the Browns versus the Bills at the Ralph: 2-17 for 23 yards and an interception for a QBR of 15.1. And yeah.......he played the full game. Worst game ever played by a QB on either team in the history of Buffalo Bills football.........and you want that guy to be the Bills QB? Makes sense.

A sad commentary on the state of our American society today. In a healthy society, we could all agree to a compromise, like he could stay in the tunnel or locker room till the music stops, then come on the field and play. I don't doubt he would agree to that. Make it about the game, not all the personal ideology stuff. Personal ideology aside, I can't think of a better choice that is available on the field between the whistles for the Bills this year as a bridge while we develop the QB of the future. No loss of draft picks, easy on the cap and about as good as all the other available options we could sign without a lot of cap or draft sacrifices. You truly are a "simple man".

DA is 35yrs old has alot of experience and won't come with hefty price tag i can see the Bills signing him to a 2yr deal worth up to 20mil based on playing time. Basically if he starts he'll get 10 mil per season if he's the bkup anywhere from 5 to 7.5 that's pretty much the going rate for experienced bkups . Why does he fit? First off he's the prototyp e QB Beane has been talking bout he's 6'5 and has a big arm has been reasonably successful over his career . DA brings alot of experience to the table and can be a mentor to the QB we draft . There's also that familiarity he has with McBeane with them all coming from Carolina . Being a quality bkup for the latter part of his career DA wouldn't have any prbs with his role as a mentor and he probably would embrace the opportunity to start for a yr or however long it takes for our young QB to develop. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying i like this move. I'm just surprised no one has brought up this player as a darkhorse candidate for the Bills. He can very much be the guy there looking for based on our cap situation and the need to bring in a young QB. Why are you surprised? He's not even a low end starter on a par with McKown or Fitzpatrick, and he's certainly not nearly as good as Tyrod Taylor. Except for one season in Cleveland 10 years ago, Anderson sucked in most of his other starting appearances, and he has only started 4 games since 2010. In 2016 for Carolina, Anderson started 2 games in which he threw 2 TDs and 5 INTs. Overall in his career, he's thrown 60 TDs and 60 INTs with 29 TDs and 19 INTs coming in his 2006 season. I'd hardly consider him a "quality backup" to "mentor" a rookie, and he's not even in the conversation when discussing possible starting QBs.
NastyNateSoldiers Posted February 3, 2018 Author Posted February 3, 2018 With all that being said this is the same org that went into season with Tobert as there bkup RB. I mean it was the first time in his career he was a #2 ever! He was usually even in his younger days a FB/short yardage bk. Anything is possible with McBeane! 1 hour ago, BADOLBILZ said: Derek Anderson stat line from October 11th, 2009 as QB of the Browns versus the Bills at the Ralph: 2-17 for 23 yards and an interception for a QBR of 15.1.

But, that one day will.never come because you won't engage in a conversation with anyone and just take pot shots at people as some high intelligence bot.

Show us where he attempted to compromised in any way. He is a sham, a retard and makes no good of the talents he has nor any ability he attempts to have in order impact a society in a progressive way. His entire act was based on the premises of being ignorant then wrapped up into some sort of political movement nonsense mumbo-jumbo where he truly started to believe the bull **** that is out there and dividing this country up. At the end of the day facts refute everything he stood for and didn't matter thanks to a CRT #feelings Society it didn't matter. The best thing anyone could ask is that Colin Kaepernick finally disappears from society because he's only going to make it worse, because he's stupid 1

He can very much be the guy there looking for based on our cap situation and the need to bring in a young QB. He's kind of a picky guy. I mean he throws a lot of INTs, always has, when he gets the chance to start, still does. He hasn't fit the criterion of "need the backup to win you at least half the games he plays" - was 0-2 last time he started games with 2 TD and 5 INT You haven't seen him get significant playing time for 7 years, which is always a question with an older guy - could he hold up to starting? TBH, you'd probably be better bringing back Fitz at this point. It's not like Anderson's "big arm" has translated to "big passing yards" recently. 7 hours ago, DKBills25 said: Would much rather have Bradford ?♂️ No. Just No.

No loss of draft picks, easy on the cap and about as good as all the other available options we could sign without a lot of cap or draft sacrifices. I can. If Kaep's you're idea of the best choice, might as well keep Taylor. Not kidding. Check out his gamelogs - he has a handful of "oh wow!" passing games, and by handful I mean like 5/69 - a few real stinkers with double-digit passing yardage, and overall on the average, his games are very Taylor-like - 180-220 yds passing, few interceptions and minimal mistakes, ability to get yards with his feet, and open receivers downfield not exploited. Taylor has a higher completion percentage both career and last few years. Taylor would also likely be easier on the cap by the time you factor in his $8.6M dead cap with whatever signing bonus and salary you pay Kaep, who I don't think will work for peanuts. OK you gang over there - put away the torches and pitch-pots. I'm not recommending this as a strategy, just responding to it in (I hope) a productive way. I don't want the Bills to adopt the old "options without a lot of cap or draft sacrifices". We've been doing that for years. It doesn't work, at least not well enough. I want to see us sacrifice. I want to see blood on the stones of the alter! Oh wait wrong movie. But you get the point.
Big Turk Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) Derek Anderson is terrible. Honest to God do people even watch football any more?? Nobody who has watched this dude play would ever even bother typing this thread out. I swear people just go look at stats and free agent lists and type out ridiculous stuff with no basis in reality.

I don't think I can remember seeing him play in the last 7 years - you gotta watch a lot of Panthers games if you have since it's 4 games in 7 years - but his stats are not precisely enticing 4 hours ago, thunderingsquid said: I met him at a wedding once.

I don't think it's a terrible idea though, since Luck or Cousins is probably unrealistic, and a rookie may not be ready to start Day 1.
KD in CA Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 Or maybe Matt Hasselbeck? He took a team to the Super Bowl you know.
Augie Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 So some people don’t like Derek Anderson for suggesting Derek Anderson. But can you blame him for trying to create a market?
