cannon fodder to keep Vlasic pickle and Newton safe until they are actually game-ready?

Anderson also created a notable soundbite after being caught on national TV laughing with a fellow teammate while he and his team were playing poorly. His subsequent anger toward the reporter who asked why he was laughing made nationwide news and was featured on several sports shows.

I guess that’s what they mean by “laughing all the way to the bank.” Reminds me of a certain Saints QB of yesteryear who’s name I will not mention because I don’t want to be bombarded with statistics.

You’re welcome.

At least there’s one bad team in our division.

I can’t agree that this is a horrible decision. I saw this guy play, live, for a team that sucked… or so we thought.

When Quinn was drafted and his predecessor got shipped off to Seattle to rot in purgatory, everybody “knew” he was just taking the reigns of a crappy organization as a placeholder until Brady Quinn was ready to step into the limelight and prove worthy of his draft status. He “knew” it too. And as a result he didn’t worry about anything except going out and having fun for however long it lasted.

And much to the surprise of EVERYBODY, he had a lot of fun and came within inches of leading his horrible and crappy team to the playoffs. In fact, but for the Colts literally rolling over and playing dead for the Chargers, he would have. The Browns were then a team everybody knew was going nowhere but further into the sewer, and he almost managed to pull them out. Most of that was pure luck, of course. But when he wasn’t looking over his shoulder at Quinn and actually worrying about keeping his job, he was actually pretty decent. Of course, once he did have to worry about keeping his job, he started to fold and become mediocre again. And he certainly was no prize in Arizona, but nothing about that team last year was.

Now he’s on a crappy team again, one that everybody “knows” is going to suck and go further into the sewer. Unless, of course, history repeats itself.
