If I'm an NFL owner and the best my GM and HC can come up with is Anderson I'm filling out their pink slips asap. The Cards look to be reverting back to the Cards. They took a slight detour for a couple of years but Dennis Green is right again as the Cards are who we thought they were.

The thing is that Derek Anderson may be better suited to play for a team like the Cards where he can heave the ball down the field and pray that Larry Fitzgerald can go get it. When he had Winslow and Edwards with the Browns under Romeo Crennel he did have a bit of success.
Problem is that Anderson is not a good accuracy guy at all. Kurt Warner was one of the best at getting off quick accurate passes to the hot route while taking the hit. Anderson will take the hit, but he'll overthrow that guy.
Not many teams are like the Chargers or Packers where they have a young stud future probowl QB waiting to take the reigns when the Future Hall of Fame guy retires, or gets sent out of town.
