Browns Lose, Derek Anderson Struggles, Brady Quinn Waits
DirecTV's Sunday Ticket has this thing call the Red Zone Channel. It's basically a seven hours of nonstop channel surfing, but the guys in the RZC studios control the remote, so we fat and sassy football fans don't have to be bothered with actually moving for most of the day.
Anyway, RZC host, Andrew Siciliano, made an interesting observation early in today's Browns-Raiders game. Cleveland quarterback Derek Anderson, who threw for five touchdowns last week in a win over Cincinnati and subsequently was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week, was doing his best Charlie Frye impersonation today.
He threw two picks in the first half, and if the Browns weren't playing a team on a 10-game losing streak, things might've gotten out of hand before intermission. Things got so bad Siciliano quipped that Anderson might be the first guy to go from Offensive Player of the Week to the bench. You know, the Brady Quinn watch is still in effect.
It didn't come to that -- Anderson held it together in the second half -- the the Browns still lost on a last second botched field goal. I think Anderson did enough to keep his job, but that doesn't mean media fans still won't speculate about when we might see Brady Quinn.
