If the Cleveland Browns are going to salvage their season, they’ll have to do it without quarterback Derek Anderson.
Anderson is the second quarterback lost due to injury in two weeks, and James Walker of ESPN.com reports that Anderson likely will miss the rest of the season with an MCL sprain in his left knee.
“It didn’t look good with him coming off,” Browns coach Romeo Crennel said after the 10-6 loss to the Colts, which dropped Cleveland to 4-8 on the year. “I’m not encouraged by the way he came off the field.”
An MRI undoubtedly will be performed, which in theory could reveal further damage.

Sucks for Anderson more than the Browns. He is now damaged goods after a season worse than his last.

Maybe Crennel will get a mulligan due to the injuries. Yep Cleveland, he might just be your coach next year.

Wouldn’t it be funny if Ken Dorsey has a few good games and becomes Cleveland’s 3rd quarterback of the future?

And a horribly disappointing season just gets worse. Even in the worst case scenario coming into this season, I would not have expected this.

From wikipedia: “(Joshua) Cribbs played quarterback at Kent State University, where he is the all-time total offense leader with 10,839 yards. He is one of only four players in NCAA history to record both 1,000 yards passing and 1,000 yards rushing in as many as two different seasons”
Time to give him a chance at the next level? What do they have to lose?

I wouldn’t mind seeing Cribbs play QB however I’m certain he’s never practiced the 1st play at QB. Its not exactly a position you can pick up in 6 days.

Looking forward to another overtime 0-0 tie Dec 21 vs Cincy. What is the record for the total number of punts in a game? This one may break it.

On a side note Braylon Edwards has been invited to New York City for the annual New Years Celebration.
Where he’ll be asked to drop the ball at midnight.

There is a Santa Claus afterall…. someone is watching out for Cleveland and saved us from having to see the most inept Quarterback from torturing us fans. Looks like Romeo has track marks from the bus tires all over his attire…. but truly, the blame of team, and for every team since 1999, belongs solely to the Lerner family. They are the 1 consist. They are the family that sat on a plane when trader Art Model and Al Lerner sold a storied franchise and screwed a loyal base of Cleveland fans, 80,000 strong during records of 3 and 13 for years. But as Lerner snickers as he collects money with his grubby wall street banker palms, and fails to hire qualified coaches or gms, or field a real pro football team, he knows the fans will continue to buy up his garbage seats for the crap he putas on the field. Randy Lerner claims he cares about Cleveland… but continues to hide like a thief in the night, as fans continuoslu get screwed year after year, with the standard line…. wait til next year…. Randy, Mr. I was born with a million bucks in my blanket, do us fans and our city a favor….. leave …. sell…. crawl under the bus with Romeo….. and let Phil drive it, then all three of you move to London….. everyone jokes that we are the city of losers…. the truth is since 1964, we have had loser owners, gms and coaches….
