Memorex Morons (MM's)

Hey Orangeaide, don't jump in the deep end yet. We still have Derek( the pick ) Anderson playing QB,and Romeo( the stubborn old fool) Crennel as head coach,who won't sit said QB when he comes crashing back to earth until after we're out of the playoff picture. Which means your boy, Phil Savage, will find his butt on the hot seat by years end because of the 24 million dollar mistake he made when he resign that turnover machine, Anderson.

You simply can't get much dumber than this Chicken Little guy. Anderson was a first-time starter in a brand new offense. Several times, he had to come from behind. His interceptions and poor performances came in a couple of games toward the end of the season. Young players IMPROVE more often than they simply stagnate, and it's pretty ignorant to expect an identical player a season removed. Hence the term Memorex Moron.

Yeah, he's right about Romeo not allowing Quinn to get any more reps than absolutely neccessary last season, but you can't be going over the edge calling him a fool. Dumb people think in absolutes.

Savage is a pro who expects Anderson to polish up his short game and become a more refined product. That's just common sense.

Savage also thinks long-term. Quinn is still very likely the future here, even if Anderson kicks butt. 24 million will be a bargain salary for a Pro Bowl quarterback, and shake loose a boatload of draft picks in a trade. Such a move could well load this team up for five years or longer, from top to bottom.

And why would Savage be on the hot seat, even if Anderson stumbles? Does this clown think Randy Lerner is as dumb as he is? Savage secured Quinn, too, and rebuilt this entire team. He is responsible for all this talent. Fire a guy because QB #2 outplays QB #1? Why not for a high pick who gets injured? Why not for a seventh rounder who gets cut?

But anyone with any sense, let alone Gil Brandt, Pat Kirwin, and a bunch of other pros, doesn't expect Anderson to stagnate or regress. I mean, you're mentally ill if you do!

Change your prescription, buddy.
