You cannot teach passion,DA didn't have any and isn't a leader never was never will be.
His ho hum attitude and lack of intelligence was very disappointing to watch.
What happens now is all on Holmgren &company and I trust him to do whats best for the team so I'll wait and see what he does rather then listen to the never ending and nauseating QB banter.

Dammit Dan, you beat me to it.

I really hate people who mask their true motives for feeling a certain way. DA directed that comment to ALL Browns fans when he knows full well that it was a small percentage of Browns fans who cheered that day. No, his hatred for the ENTIRE fan base stems from their support of Brady Quinn over him. The chanting "Bra-dy Bra-day Bra-dy" Is where his real hatred comes from. He actually believes that we should of kept on worshiping him for his great 8 games in 2007.
The guy is a huge asshat and like the others I'm oh so happy to be rid of him once and for all.
And somewhere in Oregon a man sits at a bar drinking cheap whisky while weeping softly....

When DA signs with another team, we have to monitor their boards and see if he pronounces himself a "Seahawk fan."

Good point's Inspecta, I think you're probably on to something there. A lot of Browns Fans were anxious to get Brady holding on to the reigns but how many of us were really that excited when DA was ripping it up for part-of one season? I felt surprised that he had come out of nowhere to play like that but the impact didn't last very long and I don't think any of us should be surprised at DA's resentment of our fan base as I'm sure the vast majorities opinions of him wasn't lost on him.
Question I wonder is, would Brady be so resentful if he was shipped to another team?

At least he (or his agent) was smart enough to realize that blaming the fans for his failure was wrong.
That being said, you want someone who is tough as nails to lead your football team. D A is still mentally stuck on something from a year and half ago. This shows that currently he doesn't have the mental fortitude to be a successful NFL quarterback.
Maybe someday the light bulb will click on and he'll get it.
Actually, Anderson should be thankful. The Browns gave him his opportunity, and he cashed in. He had a two month period in his entire life were things clicked for him in his job, and now he's financially set for life.
You or I should be so lucky. So don't feel sorry for D A. Be sorry for us. When we have two great months at work, we're lucky if we get a pat on the back. These pro atheletes live in la la land.

Gee, DA feels that Browns fans are a little too harsh ? I guess that the fans in Philly, NY, etc. won't do the same or worse. :eyeroll:
I hope you find a team that will put in your contract that the fans can't hurt your feelings cause it may make you cry.

I don't hate Derek Anderson the person. I hate Derek Anderson the (former!) QB of the Cleveland Browns.
I don't care about 2007 or what almost was. I care that he was part of the reason the entire organization imploded. Again.
And, for the 1,456, 727th time, Brady Quinn had nothing to do with the decision to keep Derek Anderson at QB and my hatred of Drive Assasin DA has nothing to do with Brady Quinn. He's a completely separate entity, well on his way out of town, as well.
Which I will be fine with if we actually improve at QB.
Though, I have to say, though I don't actually hate him, the actual human being Derek Anderson doesn't seem that bright. Likely not my kind of actual human, either.

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
Doin' the Happy Dance!!!
:banana::cheer2::dance:
In 2007 I was amazed at what DA could do! Amazed I tell ya! So much so that I thought we would surely trade him and BE before the 2008 season. Imagine my surprise when they were both there...and OH! What joy! Rapture! My Brownies were going to be formidable! Was this the year we were going to FINALLY get back some of the Glory Days?!?!?
Reality hit in 2008 and wow. Kinda gives WTF a whole new meaning. 2009 was WTF2
Most of the DA hatred here is because of ONE person. We all know who. (psst...he's the same guy sitting alone in a Oregon bar crying into his cheap whiskey...)
There are a lot of adjectives to describe DA...we've had some good ones: Drive Assassin, Derefumble Anderception, and so many many more. Good times. We should at least thank him for all the fun. We are masochists.
We can now add one more adjective to DA...Klassy. Yep. With a capital K. There are people who kill the dog that bites the hand that feeds it. But we Browns fans are better than that. We tell 'em to go route for Buffalo.
Keep in mind DA is friends with Trent Dildofer. He who knows OH SO MUCH about the organization that was dysfunctional enough to trade him.
BYE BYE DA!!!! Don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya!
ETA: If I got the years wrong, get over it and pretend I put the right ones in. Sheesh, I can't be expected to remember EVERYTHING.
ETA (again) - yeah 2008 wasn't very good, wasn't even good. It was WTF all over again. So sue me.

Anderson regrets blasting Browns fans
ESPN.com news services
Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Derek Anderson says he regrets statements he made blasting Browns fans following his release from the team on Tuesday.
AFC North blog
ESPN.com's James Walker writes about all things AFC North in his division blog. • Blog network: NFL Nation
On Tuesday, the Browns released Anderson, a former Pro Bowl quarterback, after five years in Cleveland, as the team decided to cast its lot with Brady Quinn and avoid paying Anderson a $2 million roster bonus and a $7.45 million salary in 2010.
The move cames just one day after the team acquired Seneca Wallace in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks.
Following his release, Anderson lashed out at Browns fans in an e-mail to the Willoughby News-Herald.
"The fans are ruthless and don't deserve a winner," Anderson said in the e-mail Tuesday. "I will never forget getting cheered when I was injured.
"I know at times I wasn't great. I hope and pray I'm playing when my team comes to town and [we] roll them."
In a statement released Wednesday, Anderson said those words came out of frustration.
"I had some great times playing in Cleveland, especially during the 2007 season, and I met some great people and made many lifelong friends along the way," Anderson said Wednesday. "I'm looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life."
According to a league source, Anderson already has two scheduled visits -- first with the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday and then the Arizona Cardinals on Friday.

"I said some things to [News-Herald reporter] Jeff Schudel earlier that I regret," Anderson said. "Those of you who got to know me personally from covering the Browns over the past five years, know this was out of character for me.

This is posturing.
DA hasn't showed this much fire since he went down with that knee injury and whined for us to remember that he beat BQ in a college game. He had tears streaming down his face when he said it! (Come on! You know he did!! lol)
He has to show that he has fire to some potential team that might be interested. No one in their right mind believes he got some kind of raw deal. Everyone knew he would have been the most overpaid QB for his stats IF we had kept him this year.
Now he has to look good for other teams. Problem is, they've seen a lot of what we've seen from DA. A lot of not much. And a lot of no fire. Some teams that might be considering him may have written him off after blasting the Browns (who wants that kind of crap when someone is released???). He had to say something or risk losing out with any potential offers.
Stay Klassy DA.
