Brady Who?

What do we do? Now we have too many QBs!

Andrson had turned into a monster, and shows no sign of backsliding. But his agent will never consent to a long-term deal for any less than top dollar. And then, what if he gets hurt before the ink is dry?

Quinn showed great promise. It's ok to keep him parked on the bench for one or even two seasons, but longer? He's not making top 5 money. His deal is close to where he was actually drafted, so he's not very expensive. On the business side, I suppose you could now afford to sign Anderson longer-term, but if you break the bank to pay him, you undermine the trade option, and tell Quinn that he's a benchwarmer for the forseeable future.

It might be neccessary to make Anderson the franchis player with the high tender. That retains him for one season, gives the Browns the option to match any offer, and demands a first and third round pick of they lose him.

The team that drafts 30th could take advantage of this, of course. However, the Browns could still get a very good player, and probably a pretty good one in the third, as well...and still have a well-prepared Quinn ready to go.

I dunno...it's a nice problem to have, though. Savage did this, too. He knew Anderson from the Ravens, and snatched him when they tried to sneak him through waivers onto their practice squad. I doubt that Phil expected him to be this good this soon, though. Still, he knew something we didn't.

People who bash Savage are clueless. We just lost Jackson for a few weeks, and the low-round pick stepping in for him is in many ways better than he was.

The defense has sucked, but doesn't have to keep sucking. It might get better. The only problem is the line, and that stupid soft coverage...and lack of aggression...ah crap okbye
