Derek Anderson was released by the Cleveland Browns on Tuesday.  Anyone who has seen him play since his 2007 Pro Bowl season would easily understand why.

Last season Anderson completed only 45 percent of his pass attempts, threw only 3 TDs while tossing 10 INTs, and has a robust 42.1 QB rating.

Yet, despite all of those bottom-feeder stats, he found a reason to be mad at the Browns’ faithful.  In an email to the News-Herald, Anderson wrote:

“The fans are ruthless and don’t deserve a winner. I will never forget getting cheered when I was injured. I know at times I wasn’t great. I hope and pray I’m playing when my team comes to town and (we) roll them.”

First off, D.A.’s statement is kind of like an admission that he stinks – or that at least he’s not a winner.  By saying that they “don’t deserve a winner” after he was released, Anderson can seem to feel that his performance justified the Browns’ actions. 

And speaking of prayer, Anderson will need it.  The truth is that if he can’t play for the Browns – not exactly one of the best teams in the league - how in the world does he think he’s going to be playing (on the field) for another team?

And don’t be mad at the fans.  It’s a fact of life that fans will express their discontent.  You stink.  They boo.

A word of advice for Anderson – if you land on another team, try not to stink.
