Call him a project pick up - but only pick him up for cheap. 10-6 one season is better than most QBs in the Saints history can claim. Just a thought.
I was thinking along those lines too. An older backup seldom becomes valuable but a youngerone might give you a nice draft pick or so.

I'm sure Anderson wants to start. But, coming the Super Bowl Champions for one year, learning from Brees and Payton, and who knows being one injury away, maybe leading a team loaded on offense back to the playoffs and beyond, certainly would not be the worst idea. Make it happen Loomis. Brunell and Daniel are not the answer to a worst case scenerio.

I would have been pretty classless if I got jerked around like Anderson did in Cleveland also. He has shown the he has tremendous ability throwing the ball, unfortunately that ability is to throw the ball to the other team as well. I think if he learned from Drew and Sean he could make a great back up and I would rather have him than Delhomme. I don't think it is realistic for him to think he would be a starter anywhere that I can think of, but perhaps he is delusional.

Let me just throw this out there....the thing about Delhomme is this: He's made it clear that he hates the Saints. He's said that to me on MySpace more than once when he would actually chat with you. So...do we really want a guy who hates our organization as our backup? Something to think about!

In Anderson's defense.... when they started cheering that he got hurt.....I'd say "screw 'em too".

As far as him being the back up, (even though my opinion doesn't sway the FO).... Yeah, I'd take him.

Pass on that Coonass...he really is a jerk..i know people who have met him and can confirm what you say Joanie...we need someone who will accept their role as backup to the best QB in the league...not a pompass ass such as Delhomo...I would like to get this Andersen kid and see if we can turn him into a quality backup...I think he might be looking to start...but if he would come in and be willing to learn from the best ..then we might be set at that position..

To quote Strato (again) "Pass on the Coonass". I would feel much better about Andersen than I would with him or Brunel behind Brees. Not sure he would expect to start anywhere. Even so, he may feel backing up for the Saints is better than starting for the Raiders.

Anderson might not be a bad pickup for us. If he comes cheaply I can't see any real reason to not bring him in except he is not an accurate passer(being kind). Not sure who else might be available.

He would start in Oakland though...but does he want to go to the NFL graveyard or come to the champs

Why does he hate the Saints? I thought he was a fan.

Derek Anderson has all the tools to start in this league. Too bad he was stuck in Cleveland. St. Louis should take a chance on him. He would make a great backup here though.
