ESPN Thinks Brady Quinn Is Going To Start!?!? I'm Shocked.

I don't know who Bill Williamson is - but he is quoted at ESPN.Com with:

"There is no timeline for Quinn to take over, but Denver clearly sees something in the 25-year-old slinger. Again, Orton is not in immediate trouble, but teams who are completely sold on their 27-year-old quarterbacks usually don't trade for younger ones."

That said, there is also an article in which Coach Josh McDaniels states there is "no question" that Kyle Orton is the starter.

Bottom line: Brady Quinn sucks no matter how much Jon Gruden or Tony Kornheiser wish it were not the case.

Pro Bowl QB on the Market

As expected, Derek Anderson was released today.

Not as expected was ESPN actually saying some positive things about him (ESPN personalities have generally loved Brady Quinn).

This is from James Walker blog posting at espn.com:

Anderson will likely catch on with another team quickly. He's 6-foot-6, he's young and he's got one of those rare rifle arms that make NFL GMs drool. He's also got experience with 34 career starts.

And Merrill Hoge responded to a question of his future prospects with:

"Oh, no question... there'll be interest (around the league)."

"Damaged Goods"?!?! You're Damaged Goods!!!

Rotoworld is speculating that:

(T)he Browns figure to shop (Derek) Anderson around for the next few weeks to see if they can get a late-round pick for him. They most likely won't find any takers. D.A. seems to be damaged goods at this point, but should generate interest from teams that run vertical offenses.

This blogger wonders if there are any offenses that run backwards... because they'd be perfect for Brady Quinn. Or perhaps I am being redundant.

Anyway, we're waiting to see where Anderson ends up for the 2010 season. While my preference is to see D.A. get a starting job, I certainly wouldn't mind seeing him back up Matthew Stafford here in 'The D'.

Jon Gruden is Wrong!

"Brady Quinn is a good quarterback"

Ummm, Jon. Actually he really stinks.
