All bullshit aside, I don't think I've ever seen a QB quite like Anderson. Perhaps one of the worst I ever saw with his skillset, not even close. I hear Jeff George brought up a lot but he could sling it and did put up some pretty serious numbers over more than 8 games.
He kind of reminds me of my neighbor Mortie growing up. From about 8 years old he could chuck the ball pretty good but didn't get any more accurate by the time he was 18. It wasn't just DA's inaccuracy either, he was not even average at anything outside of the occasional deep seam route. He sucked at just taking snaps, clock management, handing off, had zero mobility and tripped over his own big feet, constantly got passes knocked down despite being LeBron height damn near, had the personality of a doorknob (loved the dumbshit smile after a big pick), had no huddle command, really no leadership qualities whatsoever but the biggest thing----couldn't even complete a simple screen pass let alone a short dumpoff. Beings that the league is around 70% or so short routes, that ain't very good.
Honestly, I have no idea why anybody ever tried fooling themselves this guy was anything more than what he was, which is a suck ass QB. He didn't get any better since his high school days and never will. He had a few big games in 07 that padded his stats against some of the most dreadful defenses we have seen since our return---before they had a read on him---and he fully propagated from Winslow, Edwards and JJ making circus catches all year behind one of the best lines in the game. Even when he was good he was bad, just really hard to watch he was so incompetent at times. The Pro Bowl summed up everything about the guy, so bad teammates and coaches were shaking their heads in disbelief. He caused division amongst fans, the team and the front office, gave us false hope at times and showed no commitment to film or improvement. The fact he came out and said something as stupid as quantifying a whole fan base over a few people booing at his injury (Couch got booed ten times worse after his concussion when he got ruthlessly pummeled by the Ratbirds), really sums up his hick ass. Half of the few drunks booing were probably just happy he was out of the game.
I could really give a shit less what happens to him. Phillip made him rich and stunted our franchise a good 3 years by giving this guy a guaranteed job and Scott Mitchell money when a ton of us knew it was a mistake. Queen has nothing to do with anything, it doesn't matter what he is or turns out to be, DA just sucks ass. Hell, he was even the culprit behind dividing a bunch of diehard message board posters into a board split, which is the real pisser.
