Derek Anderson gets ready for return


From www.clevelandexaminer.com/cleveland, Cleveland Browns Examiner


Mr. Anderson may be the happiest man in Cleveland. The once benched quarterback is now starting in place of Brady Quinn this Sunday versus the Colts. This occurred after Quinn found out he damaged his broken his broken finger during the Texans debacle.

Derek Anderson also may be the healthiest quarterback in the history of football(the guy just doesn't get hurt).

Cleveland fans unfortunately won't be able to see Quinn develop, at least this season. It will, however, be an opportunity for Anderson to redeem himself.

The strong-armed qb may be able do what the economy can't seem to do, get better. In doing so, he also could uplift his own stock for other teams in the NFL to see. Most feel that Quinn will be the face of the franchise starting next year leaving Anderson in the shadow.

The question is, will Anderson be on the field enough to even make a difference this Sunday? And will the Browns defense make some sort of effort to pressure Peyton Manning? Giving up over 500 yards of offense to the pass-happy Broncos a few weeks back is making a lot of Cleveland fans queasy.

All this and more on Sunday at 1:00 pm.
