An Unwanted Record



This weekend a new record was set, and it isn't a good record to get. Derek Anderson, quarterback of the Cleveland Browns, completed a grand total of two passes, a low in the history of the NFL.

You may be thinking, "How is this possible?"

All I need to say to answer that question is to tell you to watch the Cleveland Browns play. They aren't a good team. I may just go out on a limb and call them terrible. Sure they have some bright spots, sure Derek Anderson was a Pro Bowl quarterback a few years ago, sure they have a bright future ahead of them, but this is a terrible year to be a Cleveland Browns fan. I would say they were the worst team in the NFL, not simply because of their 1-4 record, but because of how bad they are this season. They got rid of their best receiver Braylon Edwards and are well on their way to one of the crappiest records in the NFL this year. But, I can't say they are the worst team in the NFL because of how bad the Oakland Raiders and the St. Louis Rams are this season.

But, back to the record. There is no way you should ever complete that low of a number of completions. Just throw some screen passes and you'll keep that record safe. But the Cleveland Browns are just that bad that they can't complete more than three passes and can only put up 6 points. Now they lucked out and got their first win because the Buffalo Bills only scored three points, but six points for an NFL team, no matter how bad you are, is pretty pathetic. And it doesn't seem like things are getting easier for Derek Anderson or the Cleveland Browns the remainder of this NFL season.

All I have to say to the Cleveland Browns is to just put Brady Quinn back in. You aren't going to make the playoffs this year and Brady Quinn is your future, not Derek Anderson. Just get Quinn some much needed playing time and get better as a team this year, so you can return back to a level of respectability in the NFL next year.
